Summary
Kevin Gao is a Full Stack Web Developer and third-year Software Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with eight years of practical experience across internships and hands-on web projects. He has shipped features and infrastructure at companies ranging from Amazon and AMD to startups, contributing to payment-card systems, graphics driver abstraction layers, and full-stack product builds. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, Kevin has led web development for a hackathon and maintained e-commerce platforms, showing both technical execution and event/product-facing responsibility. His internships span testing, pipeline engineering, and display systems, reflecting a willingness to tackle low-level and high-level challenges alike. Based in Waterloo, he’s actively seeking full-time roles where he can turn broad engineering exposure into production-ready, customer-focused software. A less obvious strength is his blend of systems-level understanding from driver work with practical UX-minded web development experience.
