Kim Hanlon

From the depths of the ocean to the cloud, my journey has been anything but conventional. With over a decade as a scuba instructor, technical diver, and marine conservationist, I’ve followed my curiosity and a drive to make a difference.

Now, I’m channeling that same energy into software development. As a full-stack developer with expertise in Microsoft Azure, I bring a unique perspective to every project—combining technical skills with a passion for solving real-world problems.

Whether it’s creating dynamic web applications or designing cloud solutions, I approach each challenge with the same dedication and excitement for discovery that shaped my underwater adventures.
