Summary
👤
SeniorKevin Tran is a backend-focused software engineer and Georgia Tech M.S. candidate who has transitioned from pre-dental studies to building production-grade systems and teaching the next generation of coders. As a Graduate Research Assistant on Smart Stadium's FanPlay, he helped design a Spring Boot REST API on AWS supporting real-time chat and mini-games for 55,000 fans and 350+ active users, shipping 13+ features in a 16-week sprint with a 40+ engineer team. He’s an incoming Software Developer Intern at Amazon (Summer 2025) and concurrently instructs K–8 students at Stemtree, where he authored 500+ lesson plans and taught 200+ students foundational programming concepts. Comfortable across MySQL, WebSockets, and cloud-deployed backends, Kevin brings a rare blend of biological science roots, teaching experience, and collaborative research to product-focused engineering. Off the clock he’s a coffee-sponsoring Star Wars and Harry Potter fan who values community storytelling as much as clean code.
