The Person

Kyle Slattery I'm Kyle Slattery, a college student and general "web guy". I've been on the internet for almost as long as I've been able to read, and I've been putting together websites for nearly as long. I do everything from backend development to frontend design. Check out my work section for more info.

Currently, I'm enrolled at Lehigh University, and I'm studying to achieve my B.S. in Astrophysics, with a minor in German. The cosmos have always intrigued me, and I hope to someday make a career of it. German has also always been a strong interest of mine, after picking it up starting in 6th grade.
