Top SchoolKevin Tran is a Senior Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating high-performance, event-driven microservices across finance, e-commerce, ride-hailing, and automotive domains. He designs cloud-native systems and infrastructure-as-code pipelines (Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins) and has repeatedly delivered large reliability wins—like a 94% improvement in merchant webhook delivery and a 600x API response improvement after moving to gRPC/GraphQL microservices. Comfortable in TypeScript, Java, Go and container platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift), he favors Monorepo and Trunk-Based Development practices to maximize code reuse and deployment velocity. At ThoughtWorks he led a core banking replacement using Kafka and SpringBoot and built tooling to automate XML→JSON conversions, saving hundreds of development hours. An active contributor to the Hanami Ruby framework’s logging/tests, he blends backend QA sensibilities with production-grade engineering rigor. Based in Waterloo, Canada, Kevin pairs hands-on technical leadership and mentorship with a track record of measurable operational impact.
