Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKalina Allen is a Full Stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building pragmatic, well-architected systems across frontend and backend stacks. Currently at Dropbox, she has designed async event systems and led product-facing architecture while previously shipping Kotlin/Spring Boot APIs and reshaping React/TypeScript apps to reduce crashes and CPU spikes. She pairs hands-on implementation (from Python and C++ internships to modern TypeScript and Kotlin) with mentoring, code-review discipline, and test-first practices that improved team reliability. Kalina has also led hiring and interview processes, established frontend testing and review workflows, and taught cohorts as an instructor—skills that make her as effective in growing teams as she is in shipping features. Based in Honolulu, she values clear expectations, continuous learning, and a collaborative culture (and will happily meet your dog on Zoom).
