Nicholas Kwon is a software engineer with 11 years of professional experience who blends large-company systems expertise with mission-driven nonprofit work. He has built core file I/O and coauthoring features at Microsoft, researched unsupervised semantic signals at Google, and now applies his engineering skills to carbon tracking systems at CTrees. A Rice University computer science alum, Nicholas pairs low-level cross-platform C++ experience with applied machine learning insight from industry research. Currently pivoting toward a second career as a mental health counselor while earning a Counseling master’s at Cal State Fullerton, he brings uncommon empathy and lived experience with therapy to technology roles. That combination of technical depth and human-centered focus positions him to build tools that are both robust and socially meaningful.
