Summary
Sean Kwon is a Software Engineering Manager in New York with 12 years of hands-on experience building full-stack web applications, primarily in TypeScript, React, Node, and AWS. He blends relentless coding energy with people-first engineering leadership—coaching teams while still shipping features and infrastructure. His background spans startups and enterprise products, from building Medidata’s design system and patient-cloud tooling to styling user-facing financial pages at American Express. Comfortable across Ruby on Rails, Python, Terraform, and microfrontends, he often bridges frontend polish with backend and infra concerns. Colleagues know him as a pragmatic engineer who mentors others to write cleaner code and who still "dabbles" deep in the stack rather than delegating every commit.
