Senior🎓
Top SchoolRowan-james Tran is a backend-focused software engineer with 13 years of experience and a BS in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara, currently based in Seattle. He has shipped production services at AWS—working on CloudTrail and etcd for Amazon EKS—and now builds at a stealth startup, bringing deep experience in distributed systems, data ingestion, and high-throughput telemetry. His internships and early work demonstrate a strong practical grounding in Java, Kotlin, AWS primitives (ECS/Fargate, SQS, SNS, ElastiCache), and data formats like Parquet/ORC, plus hands-on service design that verified >10k events/sec. Known for turning prototypes into reliable production services, he pairs systems-level thinking with a taste for clean engineering and observability. Outside engineering he’s an avid reader, cyclist, gamer, and custom mechanical keyboard enthusiast—an indication of both attention to detail and willingness to invest in craft.
