Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin W is a software engineer with nine years of experience building production-grade systems across startups and large tech firms, currently at a stealth startup in San Francisco. As a founding engineer at Eventual, he helped build a multimodal data processing engine focused on LLM batch inference, query optimization, and distributed execution. His background spans ML infrastructure, SRE, and full-stack product work—from converting Cloudflare’s dashboard to a static React site to performance-tuning datastore queries at LinkedIn and Arrowstreet. Kevin has led cross-functional teams (20-member product team at Berkeleytime) and taught high-enrollment CS courses at UC Berkeley, demonstrating both technical depth and strong communication skills. He frequently works on large-scale data and low-latency systems, with hands-on experience in Kubernetes, Spark, Huggingface, and cloud deployments. A detail that sets him apart is his mix of research-oriented projects (SETI scalable ML pipelines) and trader-facing, real-time crypto tooling, showing comfort across both experimental and latency-sensitive production environments.
