Tim Kravel
Software Developer
Hi, I'm Tim Kravel!
I'm a full-stack web developer with a passion for building practical, people-focused solutions using the LEMP stack. My journey into programming began in an unexpected place—a CNC machine shop in 2012—where I first wrote G-code to automate machines. That hands-on problem-solving lit a spark that eventually led me to the web.
When the shop closed in 2020, I leaned into change and fully committed to web development. By 2022, I made my professional debut and haven't looked back since. Today, I thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, turning ideas into scalable, functional web applications.
Outside of code, I'm usually exploring the outdoors with my son—whether it's a sunny day at the park or casting a line into a quiet lake, I'm always chasing the next little adventure.
