About BadPirate

In 1989, Kevin Lohman’s dad brought home a work computer, an Apple II/e, and Kevin became obsessed with the power of technology as a multiplier of human effort and reach. That passion grew into a deep and broad career across technology, circuits, electrical engineering, computer information systems, networks, software deployment, application development, web development, information security, radio, satellite systems, and beyond. It also led to a career working among some of the best and brightest in the US Navy and in tech, including startups and big-name companies such as Apple, Meta, and BlackBerry. He's moved with his family to near Amsterdam and started Kaperkunde, where he builds solutions and offers consulting services to clients in the Netherlands and abroad. He is excited to hear about complex problems, help solve them, and build excellent applications.

Kaperkunde

More than 20 years in the tech industry, including over a decade at some of Silicon Valley’s top companies, have given Kevin the toolkit and knowledge to quickly deliver quality solutions to almost any technical problem. He wanted a Dutch name for this new venture that reflected both hard-earned technical wisdom and hacker culture: getting the impossible done with limited resources. He also wanted it to reflect his time in the Navy, his spirit of adventure, thoughtful risk-taking, and delivering solutions under pressure.

Kaperkunde translates roughly to "Pirate-ology" or the skills of the pirate. A can-do attitude, backed by deep experience.
