Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKaan Kabalak is a versatile software engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building high-impact front-end systems in fast-paced startup and open-source environments. With an Electrical and Electronics Engineering background, he specializes in React, Redux, TypeScript and modern front-end tooling to turn designs into pixel-perfect, performant interfaces—recently improving a large map component’s performance by 35% and migrating components from JS to TypeScript. He’s a pragmatic full-stack contributor to notable open-source projects like MinIO, where his work spans UI/UX fixes in the object storage browser and SDK bug fixes that improved object handling and uploads. Kaan pairs hands-on engineering (unit and end-to-end testing with Jest, Enzyme and TestCafe) with product-minded collaboration across designers and backend teams, and has built internal support platforms used by hundreds of external customers. His roots in electrical engineering and early embedded/simulator work give him an unusual edge in systems thinking and low-level problem solving for front-end challenges.
