Summary
Self-directed perfectionist, using my mom's famous words, "It doesn't matter where you work, do it all the way, or don't do it at all." I'm someone who's willing to embrace any challenge thrown my way. I'll study the challenge, dissecting every square inch before tackling it with full effort. I'll do whatever it takes to get the job done right.

Words From Kevin:
- This section is a place where I can specifically talk to you, my employer. I can be completely honest and vulnerable.
- I, Kevin O'Connor, am a human being. This means I can make mistakes, I won't lie. I can boast about all my accomplishments as an 18-year-old but I will still make mistakes like everyone else. The difference is, I will learn from them and I will find a way to get it right, paid or not. I will work for free until the quality of my work is worth being paid for. I'm a man with honest values.
- I know you're sifting through hundreds of applications, so thank you for your time. Looking forward for training.
