My name is Kyle Chamberlin and I build solutions to make developers' lives easier.
Building the tools that engineers want to use, mentoring craftsmen, and playing board games is how I enjoy spending my time.
I invite you to join me on my journey to make software development more enjoyable and approachable for everyone.

Engineering Manager | Platform Tooling
Acting as the key technical resource and development manager for the custom software development team inside the Enterprise Architecture group at KPMG, I oversaw the development of four successful projects.

Responsibilities included writing technical architecture proposals, planning and grooming of complex business requirements into implementable stories, working with security architects to ensure the highest levels of data security and secure code practices were followed, and hiring and growing a magnificent team of developers. My team has become the premier development team internally at KPMG. We are now the go-to group for any new custom development initiatives. We are passionate about implementing the software using industry established best practices.
