Kevin Haas is a Senior Software Engineer who recently joined Extreme Blue from IBM Global Services, where he was most recently engaged as a senior project manager working on a commercial account. His most recent assignment Prior to that assignment, Kevin was an application architect for IBM Global Services for much of his 8 years at IBM. As an architect, Kevin led a variety of e-Commerce and e-Business projects for both commercial and internal projects, including IBM's e-Commerce solution for IBM business partners, a major revenue generator for IBM. Another challenge he led was for a mid-sized company willing to rebuild their entire e-Business architecture from the ground up. While at IGS, "other duties as necessary" included advocating "newfangled" technology to reduce development costs, recruiting fresh minds for hire, mentoring through skill gaps, and disseminating best practices out to his organization. Kevin received his M.S in Computer Science from Stanford in 1996. Prior to Stanford, Kevin somehow received a B.S in Computer Science and a B.A. in Mathematical Science from U.C. Santa Barbara in 1994. He also recently became a new father to a beautify baby girl.
