"To my wife and family for putting up with me for always being on the computer and letting me create and learn."

Kevin Moore

"To my loving parents and sister. Thank you for always being there for me, especially during the hard times. To Ray and the entire RW team who started me on this journey, I am beyond grateful to be part of this family. To the Flutter community, without whom I would have nothing to create and share here."
