Biography

Kevin Micke received his BS in Computer Information Systems from Colorado State University (2003). He began working for RAMMB and CIRA as a student hourly in May of 2002 as part of the RAMMB infrastructure team. In this role he helped support the software and hardware the team uses to conduct its research. After being hired full time as a Research Associate I in April of 2004, Kevin's primary role became web site development for RAMMB's various projects.  One of the major projects he has completed since assuming this role is transitioning all RAMMB sites to the team's own server, which allows more flexibility with development. Kevin specializes in database driven web sites that automatically update based on incoming data.
