Hi, I’m Kevin Lin, a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 8 years of experience delivering enterprise applications across defense, energy, and cloud services. I own delivery end to end, from system design to production support, and I am comfortable building and shipping features with React, TypeScript, and Next.js on the frontend and C#/.NET Core, Java (Spring Boot), Node.js, and Python (FastAPI) on the backend. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, well-tested software that performs in production. I work in cloud-native settings using AWS and GCP, manage containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes, and keep systems observable with Datadog and CloudWatch. I have a solid data engineering foundation with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, and BigQuery, and I collaborate closely with product teams, architects, and junior engineers to drive technical decisions, lead code reviews, and mentor teammates in Agile environments.
