available for work

Devon
Kirby

Computer science grad with a passion for both software and hardware. I like building things — from backend APIs to embedded sensor systems — and I'm always picking up something new.

a bit about me

I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University in 2025 with a degree in computer science. My interests sit somewhere between software and hardware. I enjoy writing code that actually does something physical, whether that's talking to a sensor or building a backend that something else depends on.

Right now I'm learning Go, working toward my CompTIA Security+ certification, and looking for a role where I can keep growing on both sides of the stack. I'm based near Nashville, TN and open to new opportunities.
