Profile: https://flows.cv/kirkbyers

I enjoy working in empowered, small teams towards product and end-user driven goals. I'm more interested in the problem you're solving than the tech stack you're using. I have strong opinions, loosely held.

I have a deep passion for specialty coffee. I’ve been a home roaster for 10 years with light industry experience. I am pursuing Q Grader Arabica certification.
