Profile: https://flows.cv/gavinkline

Hi there, my name is Gavin Kline. I'm a software engineer currently based out of New York, NY. I'm a software engineer at GovDash, where I am helping build AI tools to empower government contractors.

Bringing over 8 years of diverse programming experience to the table, I excel across various languages, with a particular fondness for Go and Typescript. While my expertise lies in backend development, I'm equally adept at frontend work and thrive when tackling architectural challenges. 
 
Previously, I lead the design and implementation of the Gorjian Software Platform, a sophisticated server-side application that enhances data collection, broker outreach, and workflow optimization. My expertise in backend development, database design, and AI-driven technology has been pivotal in advancing the company's digital transformation initiatives.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Syracuse University, where I graduated in just three years. I not only excelled academically but also demonstrated my team spirit and leadership skills as an active participant in Division 1 Men's Lacrosse.
