Founded by Kevin Hammer. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
HammerLabs is led by Kevin Hammer, a technology executive with 35+ years of experience and a decade in C-level leadership. As SVP of Software Engineering and IT at MIND Education, Kevin reported directly to the CEO, presented strategy and metrics to the board of directors, and managed a 50-person department across engineering, QA, DevOps, IT, and security with a $6.2M annual budget.
Kevin led the organization through a complete platform transformation, cloud migration, and AI adoption initiative — all while maintaining delivery velocity, improving platform stability to 96%+, and reducing infrastructure costs by $30K per month.
What sets HammerLabs apart is the combination of executive perspective and technical fluency. Kevin still architects solutions, reviews code, and debugs production systems. He understands both the boardroom conversation about ROI and the engineering conversation about system design.
