Summary
Kenneth Song is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable, highly available cloud systems and web services, currently at Microsoft in Vancouver. A UBC software engineering graduate with distinction and a 3.95 GPA, he has led end-to-end migrations to Azure and designed platforms that serve high-traffic Microsoft sites (up to 27k RPS) while driving performance, security, and accessibility. He’s built core services from scratch—including an authentication service and a high-throughput analytics service—and automated CI/CD for dozens of microservices to reduce manual deployment overhead. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, Kenneth combines hands-on coding with technical leadership and mentorship, consistently earning top performance recognition. He prioritizes continuous learning and seeks technically challenging projects, and although he once planned to move to Seattle for Microsoft, he chose to stay in Vancouver and is open to AWS opportunities there.
