Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Kang is a Software Development Engineer and founder who transformed a hobby Discord bot into a 1.5M+ user app by obsessively iterating on user feedback and shipping rapid improvements. With 8+ years of full-stack experience and a University of Waterloo CS/AI background, he builds scalable, user-facing systems and has delivered generative AI features, low-latency React optimizations, and robust AWS-backed architectures. His work spans startup and enterprise contexts—from prototyping Playwright test automation and event-driven DynamoDB/Postgres syncs to production AI assistants that improve learning and developer tooling. Based in Seattle and heading to AWS DynamoDB, he combines product empathy with engineering rigor, and his edge is treating users as collaborators rather than metrics, which turned pandemic-time comfort into a large, loyal community.
