Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Wang is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend infrastructure with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems at startups and consumer-facing companies. At Pivot he progressed from Android and full-stack roles to leading backend and infrastructure work—shipping a new stress and resilience product, refactoring microservices and ETL pipelines, and removing secrets from Terraform across environments. He primarily works with Node.js, Kotlin and AWS, and has a proven track record of turning platform improvements into measurable outcomes (including a re-enrollment feature that generated $10k in month one and an 11.6% lift in registration conversion). Based in Markham and trained in Systems Design Engineering at Waterloo, Kevin pairs product-minded engineering with practical security and operations decisions—often creating PoCs, design docs and reproducible setup guides to enable rapid, auditable deployments. Outside of work he balances technical focus with endurance hobbies like running and piano, which inform his disciplined approach to shipping reliable systems.
