Hi, I’m Kevin Nguyen, a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building full-stack systems across React, TypeScript, Java Spring Boot, AWS, GraphQL, REST, Kafka, and PostgreSQL. I’ve spent the last several years shipping cloud-native services, tightening API contracts, and running architecture reviews for products that need both responsive front ends and resilient backend systems. My recent work has included JWT/OIDC auth flows, event-driven services on AWS MSK, Aurora PostgreSQL tuning, and graph data access patterns with Amazon Neptune. I also use AI-assisted engineering tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to speed up refactoring, test generation, and debugging while keeping code quality and security standards intact. I collaborate with product and QA teams to ensure scalable deployments, track incidents with CloudWatch, and drive architecture reviews that surface IAM, networking, and rollout risks. I value clean interfaces, measurable performance, and robust security in every release.…Hi, I’m Kevin Nguyen, a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building full-stack systems across React, TypeScript, Java Spring Boot, AWS, GraphQL, REST, Kafka, and PostgreSQL.

Shipped React and TypeScript features for the admin and client-facing web apps, employing modern hooks, component composition, and state management patterns to keep the UI fast under heavy workflows. Owned Spring Boot services backing the product portal, implementing REST APIs with validation, pagination, filtering, and backward-compatible response changes. Defined GraphQL schemas and resolvers for account/entitlement data, and reduced N+1 issues with batching and cache-aware queries. Implemented OIDC/OAuth2 login flows with JWT-based sessions via Spring Security for cleaner SSO handoffs. Built event-driven pieces on AWS MSK, tuned consumer groups and retry behavior to handle burst workloads. Tuned Aurora PostgreSQL through indexing and migrations; moved slow endpoints from table scans to predictable times. Used Amazon Neptune and Gremlin for graph relationships where traversals beat nested joins. Leveraged Copilot and Claude Code for refactors and test scaffolding while performing man
