“Kevin Conroy is the best manager one could ever have. If you're lucky to work alongside or report to him, you'll find your quality of life will start improving at a rapid pace. You'll feel empowered to create, challenge, lead. You'll start thinking you can tackle anything because you're supported and encouraged. That's how good of a manager Kevin Conroy is. I was lucky enough to have Kevin as my manager for three years, as part of the Product team at GlobalGiving. Since then, I have grown professionally and personally thanks to him. He has a unique set of skills that allowed him to shape GlobalGiving into the successful nonprofit organization it is today. He's a skillful senior full-stack developer, a creative marketing strategist, an empathetic UX designer, a product innovator. But most of all, he's a people person! If you're looking for a secret sauce to "Make Better [anything]," this is where your search stops. Give Kevin Conroy a call; you'll thank me later!”

GUI-based application to web services conversion system
Issued US 7,971,184
A web service creation system converts legacy application functionality to web services. The system captures the operation of the legacy application through an accessibility layer that monitors operator interaction with the application. The system then defines, creates, and deploys a web service that provides control over the application operation. As a result, the legacy application may be made accessible through web services and an organization may continue to realize a return on their…

A composer of integrated systems solves the technical problem of enabling graphical user interface applications (GAPs) to interoperate (e.g., exchange information) with each other and web services over the Internet, effectively and non-invasively. The system provides a user friendly visualization mechanism that interacts with an accessibility layer to enable organizations to economically and easily define web service driven information exchange between GAPs, by performing point-and-click, drag-and-drop operations on GAPs. The system allows users to rapidly create integrated systems composing GAPs enabled to interoperate with other GAPs and web services, so that organizations extend the life-cycle use of their legacy GAPs in business operations.
