Kevin Bridges

My name is Kevin Bridges and I am an Information Architect. I have actively been developing on the Internet since 1994 and have an extensive resume that can be downloaded from this page (you need to create an account on this site to download). At present, I am actively pursuing additional contracts or employment opportunities near Denver, Colorado.

I specialize in providing high performance security focused Content Management Systems that provide you a flexible base to build your web presence on.

Here is a partial listing of projects and companies I have contributed to.

• http://drupal.org/project/picasa - Drupal is an amazing system that seems to be lacking in an efficient method of integrating pictures and graphical elements. Google's Picasa is an amazing system that is designed to easily work with digital pictures and provides a solid mechanism for displaying them on the web. I created the Picasa Module for Drupal to utilize the Picasa API and tie these two systems together. Although in it's infancy, this project holds great potential and I am excited about it.
