Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Chu is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building customer-first full-stack and backend systems, currently enabling collaboration at Figma after leading critical platform efforts at Cash App and Amazon. He excels at turning ambiguous product problems into concrete technical designs, prototypes, and agile delivery plans that improve developer velocity and reduce operational risk. Kevin has led cross-functional roadmaps—shipping notification primitives that target tens of millions of users, automations that surfaced severe performance issues, and load-tested rollouts for features reaching ~100M MAU. He pairs hands-on engineering with coaching, mentoring, and tooling work that shrinks test cycles from minutes to seconds and cuts false alarms in half. Based in Seattle and trained at Georgia Tech, he’s as comfortable scoping 0→1 architectures as he is iterating on developer-facing tools that quietly accelerate teams.
