Senior🎓
Top SchoolNelson Tran is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack, mathematically minded systems from frontend interfaces to cloud-native backends. He has led small teams and technical initiatives—most recently as a tech lead at CaptivateIQ where he drove a React 18 migration and architected reporting features end-to-end—and now contributes at Matik. His background blends functional-programming curiosity, production Golang rule engines leveraging first-order predicate logic, and hands-on work with TypeScript, Python/Django, Kubernetes, and gRPC. Nelson pairs academic rigor (BS in Software Engineering, 3.96 GPA) with practical DevOps and orchestration experience, including Kubernetes operators for blockchain networks. He also brings a knack for applying formal approaches to real-world problems, evident in past projects like a Monte Carlo tree search AI and a Prolog-based music theory expert system.
