Kevin Beach Rocks

About Me

Hey there, my name is Kevin Beach and I’m a Web Developer currently residing in West Chester, PA. My career started off in the UI/UX design world allowing for an added level of detail to my work. Although you can say my focus is geared towards Front End Development, I believe a wide skill set, as well as the ability to combine design and business logic, is necessary to produce a quality user experience.

My passion lies in not only building next-level products, but making sure they are ADA compliant with best-practice code. My biggest strength is my ability to adapt and learn quickly. In the last 7-8 years I have picked up a variety of methodologies, mastered various skills and encourage any new framework that comes next in the world of digital development.
