Kevin Chandos
Senior Consultant II, Desert
I grew up in Santa Barbara and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps shortly after high school. I first started programming when I was 10 years old on a timeshare IBM 370 (yes, I'm that old) in Fortran and BAL. I've been programming professionally for just under 40 years, and I'm sure I've used systems and languages that many of you have never heard of.
If you had to describe yourself using four words, it would be…
- Outgoing
- Curious
- Analytic
- Loyal
What is your favorite weekend trip?
Just about any weekend at Seabrook, WA. You've got to stay there to understand. No description can convey the reality.
Sharing our core values is very important to us. What does Passion, Discipline, Innovation, Teaming and Integrity mean to you?
Passion: The curiosity and drive to never stop learning and never stop finding ways to put your knowledge and skills to good use. Discipline: The self-control to "play by the rules" that are given for the situation. Innovation: Thinking "outside the box" to come up with solutions that not only accomplish the current goals but provide the doorway to future needs. Teaming: Working together as a coordinated, cohesive, collaborative group. Integrity: For any given situation, doing what's right even when no one is watching or even cares. Owning and acknowledging your deeds, for better of for worse.
