Brandon Kilheffer uses his broad knowledge of technology and his vast experience working with government and defense agencies to develop innovative products and solutions that meet the needs of Delta Development Group’s clients.
As lead developer on the Special Needs Registry, Brandon has incorporated his talents in Web development and geospatial data management to create a registry Web site that can provide dynamic searchable maps for clients to locate special needs individuals in an emergency or in the process of planning for one.
