Who is this handsome man?
About
Alex Kuhl
Security Expert, Developer Extraordinaire, Educator
My name is Alex Kuhl and welcome! I have been described as a renaissance man, a sugary donut full of skepticism, and a cinnamon twist of cynicism, amongst others.
I typically am found solving the latest mathematical challenges while wrestling wild bears in the Appalachian Mountains. When home, I am located in the Northern Kentucky region near Cincinnati, OH, plundering the high seas of industry as Staff Technical Lead at HubSpot. My true passion lies in passing on knowledge. To this end, I answer my son's endless questions about the world, inspire young minds as an adjunct professor at Northern Kentucky University (NKU), and mentor engineers at HubSpot. I also serve on NKU's School of Computing & Analytics Advisory Board. I tend to use Java, Python, and Ruby the most, though I consider myself a polyglot that is more interested in using languages as a tool than becoming an expert in one. I use Linux as my daily driver, Mac at work, and Windows for gaming when necessary. I prefer vim to emacs. That probably covers the typical nerd fight questions.
Academically, I have studied computer science and mathematics with research in security and graphics. My hobbies include being a dad, playing video games, running, hiking, ball golf, disc golf, tennis, guitar, and reading, amongst others.
