Kevin Kurkowski
Principal Integrations Architect  ·  Founder, Literal Data LLC
Summary

Principal software architect and integration engineer with 20+ years of hands-on experience in .NET, Azure, and NetSuite. I own the architecture and build the solution — no hand-off to a junior team. For mid-sized organizations with complex integration and automation needs, I bring principal-level thinking without the overhead of a large firm.
