About Kenneth Black

Lead Full-Stack Developer with 10+ years building scalable mobile and web applications. My work experience includes enterprise companies like Best Buy and Hy-Vee, startups like BallerTV, and consulting roles as CTO and technical architect.

I specialize in building systems that solve real problems. My work includes architecting Node.js orchestration layers for high-traffic applications, leading mobile teams through cross-platform migrations, and integrating computer vision features into live video streams serving millions of viewers.

My approach centers on practical solutions and continuous learning. I bridge multiple disciplines—from designing CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes infrastructure to GraphQL schema design and mobile state management.
