Top SchoolMinh Nguyen is a Senior Software Engineer II based in Seattle with 8 years of experience building backend systems in Java, Go, and Python, currently focused on Confluent’s Data Governance, Stream Catalog, and Schema Registry. He has a strong track record at scale—from designing forecasting and supply-allocation engines at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that cut manual effort by ~80% to contributing backend improvements to the widely used Confluent Schema Registry (request/response filters and request ID plumbing).

He enjoys mentoring and knowledge-sharing and brings a curious, research-minded background (VR modeling and memory-architecture analysis) that helps him tackle complex distributed systems problems.
