Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenny Huynh is a Systems Development Engineer II with eight years of experience building reliable software and tooling for embedded systems, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. He brings full-stack expertise—from mixed-signal hardware and firmware for battery test platforms to Python/Django backends, CI/CD for embedded and web projects, and observability across AWS and GCP. At ReJoule he led architecture and automation that supported ML experiment tracking, data ingestion, and contributed to technical proposals that secured multimillion-dollar funding; he now applies that operational rigor at Amazon. An active contributor to open-source documentation, Kenny improved serial communication clarity in the widely-used pyvisa project, reflecting a knack for demystifying low-level protocols. He combines hands-on soldering and circuit design with production software delivery, making him equally comfortable in a lab bench or a CI pipeline.
