Hello world, I am

Kevin CohenFull-Stack Developer | AI, Vue, Nuxt & Laravel Specialist

I build web applications from database to interface, with Laravel and Nuxt as my home base. I also help teams make smart use of AI in their day-to-day work, without ever compromising on quality. Testing comes as standard. I like to own the whole picture: from well-thought-out architecture and the frontend through to sharp code reviews.
