Kevin Ji is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable systems across payments, distributed storage, and machine learning, currently working on pricing data at Stripe in the NYC area. He blends production engineering (Dropbox payments infra, Pure Storage C++ extern) with research-grade ML expertise from Harvey Mudd, where his work on music and audio models yielded multiple conference publications and a 24% boost in composer classification via language-model pretraining. Kevin contributes to open-source tooling as a full-stack developer on the well-known ScanCode project, improving CLI output formats and license handling for large codebases. He enjoys projects that connect people through reliable infrastructure and tangibly measurable impact, and is equally comfortable shipping low-level C++ optimizations and high-level Python ML prototypes.
