Colleagues describe him as "​Foremost - Ken is a kind person. He genuinely cares about the well-being of the engineers he manages. Countless times I heard from engineers saying Ken is the best listener who is truly on their side. His listening skills, combined with his technical proficiency, make him a much desired Engineering Manager. He is able to comb through complex legacy systems, architect on top of them, and result in successful migrations and updates. Ken does not compromise on what is right for the product. He is constantly on the front-line for diagnosing problems, prioritizing and delegating tasks to developers. It was a great privilege to be able to work with him!" and "Ken is the kind of engineer that you always want to have in the trenches with your developers. He keeps his cool in every situation and is so well known for tracking down bugs & issues that the “Detective Ken” emoji was one of our top Slack reactions. I had the pleasure of working with Ken for more than three years on our biggest hit game, Two Dots. During that time he consistently contributed thoughtful technical analysis to every feature and task he was assigned which ultimately drove impressive business results. Ken’s work helped us build a foundation for the long term future of the game. Simultaneously he could always shift gears and triage short term issues or asses the risk of issues that came up naturally while operating a live service. Despite focusing on client-side engineering Ken reliably helped identify issues that arose via backend service interactions. There aren’t many engineers like Ken and any product will benefit immediately from him being on their development team."

Listed skills include Mysql, Perforce, C++, Game Development, and 16 others.
