NRTHRNLIGHTS, L.L.C.

Work directly with Kevin

An engineer’s mindset.
A product maker’s perspective.

I build software that connects a technical idea to something people can actually use. Through NRTHRNLIGHTS, I develop and maintain my own apps alongside offering specialized software development services.

My work in smart lighting began with HouseParty in 2014 and grew into the Light DJ family. Today, my portfolio spans real-time lighting control, media-driven experiences, and tools for everyday life.

That hands-on product ownership informs how I approach client work: the interface, integration, release, and long-term maintenance all matter.

Since 2014
