Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Kang is a founder and full-stack software engineer with eight years of experience building pragmatic, efficiency-focused web applications and automation tooling from Seattle. A UW alum, he blends backend expertise (Django, Flask, Node.js, ASP.NET Core) with front-end SPA experience (Angular, TypeScript) and practical data work across MySQL, MongoDB, and SQLite. At Expedia he redesigned internal workflows and built automation that saved thousands of hours and millions of dollars, and more recently he’s launched startups focused on reducing phone addiction and automating repetitive work. He’s comfortable shipping end-to-end products—ranging from facial recognition and music-sharing projects to ecommerce and SaaS—and often surfaces small process changes that yield outsized productivity gains. Equally at home mentoring and founding community-driven initiatives, he pairs entrepreneurial instincts with hands-on coding to turn ambiguous problems into shippable solutions.
