Carolyn Tran is a software engineer based in San Francisco with 10 years of experience building backend systems and web products. A University of Texas at Austin CS graduate, she spent six years at Nextdoor improving Notifications and Growth infrastructure and now works on Notion’s Web Presence team. Her background spans large-scale data pipelines and realtime systems—early work at Union Pacific involved streaming logs into HDFS and creating Kibana dashboards, and she has hands-on experience enabling SSL for service-to-service traffic in production. Comfortable across the stack, Carolyn has applied open-source tools like Mcrouter, Stunnel, D3.js, and OpenCV to solve practical problems from security hardening to visualization and image analysis. Colleagues would describe her as a pragmatic engineer who translates complex operational needs into reliable, production-ready systems.
