Summary
Kevin Hu is an embedded software engineer with 14 years of technical experience and over eight years focused on backend development in C++ and C#/.NET, currently building embedded systems at SEMCO. He has repeatedly modernized legacy systems—migrating Motif GUIs to Qt, interfacing with VxWorks-based hardware, and building RESTful services for satellite network planning—while owning UI/UX decisions and extensive technical documentation. Holding dual degrees in computer engineering and studio art, Kevin combines rigorous engineering with a designer’s sensibility, which informs his work on usable tools and interfaces. He’s comfortable across the stack from real-time embedded firmware to web services and automated GUI testing, and he leverages Agile practices and SQL-backed data models in production. Outside of engineering, Kevin channels his competitive drive into international Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competition and authorship, and cultivates digital illustration skills that enrich his product-focused perspective.
