Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChan Youn is a software engineer in Chicago who transitioned from a nine-year architectural career into full-time software development after attending Fullstack Academy. At Perkins and Will he applies his deep understanding of the built environment to develop tools that bridge design and code, drawing on hands-on experience automating architectural workflows at SOM. His background includes building integrations, event-driven features with Kafka, and templating/linguistic engines for healthcare software, reflecting strengths across backend services, APIs, and domain-specific tooling. Chan combines rigorous design thinking and scripting fluency with practical software engineering practices like CI, testing, and microservices. He is especially adept at turning complex spatial and documentation requirements into automated, maintainable systems—a skill born from producing dozens of design schemes and teaching scripting to architecture teams. Open to collaborations that fuse physical and digital design, he prefers projects where domain knowledge informs robust engineering.
