Top SchoolNicholas Tran is a Principal Software Engineer and Engineering Manager based in New York with nine years of experience building cloud-native systems and modernizing legacy platforms, primarily on AWS and the Serverless Framework. He leads architecture and delivery for a flagship CRM/ticketing product, scaling an engineering org from a solo contributor to a multi-person team while owning CI/CD, data migration, and analytics pipelines for multi‑million dollar clients. His background spans full‑stack React UIs, DynamoDB-driven OLTP/OLAP integrations, and high-throughput microservices that handled partner APIs and IoT flows. He pairs hands‑on implementation skills with formal research experience in optimization and human‑machine communication from Arizona State University, bringing a data-driven, experimentally minded approach to system design. Known for mentoring engineers and establishing robust testing, documentation, and Agile processes, he focuses on maintainability and future extensibility when refactoring systems. An interesting thread through his career is combining academic research insights with production engineering to optimize resource-constrained systems and large-scale data pipelines.
