Kyle Anderson
My name is Kyle Anderson. I’m a media and IT professional and JavaScript developer who worked most recently as an Associate Broadcast IT Engineer (Tier II) for CNN in Atlanta.
Software is communication. Technology is wonderful because it allows us to communicate in increasingly efficient and complex ways.
One of my life-long goals is to help bridge data divides – missing connections between software systems and data stores – promoting inter-system communication and automation. Many of the projects described here reflect this goal in some way or another.
IT, Media, & JavaScript Professional
Experience
I have a unique yet increasingly needed combination of IT and Media Production experience. Since 2014, web development with JavaScript – both server-side and front-end – has played a key role in helping me provide added business value.
