Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPJ Kumlue is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-reliability systems across robotics, cloud infrastructure, and game development, now at Google after recent work on AWS Elastic Load Balancing control-plane scalability. He combines strong systems and C++ expertise—authoring cross-vendor robot drivers and a protobuf/ZMQ command API—with full-stack web work in React, NestJS, and TypeScript to deliver end-to-end products. PJ focuses on correctness, safety, performance, and maintainability, and has shipped distributed systems that cut configuration propagation latency by 70% and supported fleets of millions of ELBs. His background in theater and 60+ hours piloting a Cessna 172 inform a pragmatic, adaptable approach to high-pressure debugging and user-focused design. A lifelong learner and jack-of-all-trades, he’s comfortable moving between embedded controllers, ML/VR interests, and game engine internals.
