EXPERIENCE THAT CARRIES OVER

Experience with software that businesses depend on.

Kevin Whelan is an engineer, technology leader, and the founder of Project 407. His corporate experience includes production software and cross-team platform initiatives focused on how services are built, deployed, and maintained.

His technical background spans Laravel, PHP, Vue, React, TypeScript, APIs, integrations, and AWS. That means looking at the application alongside the systems it connects to, how changes reach production, and what the team needs to keep it running. Experience operating a business adds a practical filter: the technology needs to justify the work it creates and the money it costs.

Kevin embraces AI as a tool for exploring ideas and accelerating delivery. His role is to apply context, review the work, and make the engineering decisions that turn promising code into useful software. Project 407 offers hands-on builds, focused advisory work, and fractional technology leadership, with scope and availability agreed upfront.

WHAT THAT EXPERIENCE BRINGS TO YOUR PROJECT

01 / ENGINEER

Understand the whole system.

Consider application behavior, connected services, deployment, and maintenance together.

02 / LEADER

Make the choices clear.

Translate technical options into priorities, tradeoffs, and a plan the business and engineering team can act on.

03 / PARTNER

Leave a usable result.

A working release, a technical assessment, or a written roadmap, with ownership and next steps agreed.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

No theater. No mystery. Just considered work.

  1. 01Solve the right problem

    The brief begins with the business result, not a predetermined deliverable.

  2. 02Make complexity feel simple

    The hard work happens behind the experience so customers and teams get clarity.

  3. 03Tell the truth

    Explain the tradeoffs, surface risks, and be clear about what has been verified and what remains uncertain.

  4. 04Finish the details

    Responsiveness, accessibility, performance, and the small interactions all matter.
