About Me

Hello! I'm Robert Kinney. I am a full-stack developer based in New York City.

As a passionate enthusiast in all things technology, I often find myself digging deep into the functionality of items we interact with in everyday life. From reviving a hopeless laptop with a lightweight version of Linux, watching a freshly built computer POST for the first time, all the way up to standing with a CV axle in hand during a transmission-out procedure on my car, I am no stranger to stepping outside of my comfort zone.
