About Me

I'm Kevin Wong — a software engineer, martial artist, and soon-to-be Computer Science graduate from Cal Poly Pomona. I was born and raised in the East Bay Area, where my love for learning and building things began at an early age.

As a kid, I was always solving puzzles, building with Legos, and sketching out inventions inspired by movies and online videos. I loved bringing ideas to life and proudly sharing them with my family. That same curiosity and drive to create still fuels me today.

I also grew up playing video games and board games with friends and family — moments filled with strategy, teamwork, laughter, and connection. Sharing those experiences helped me realize how powerful technology can be in bringing people together. That joy inspired me to pursue computer science and dream of building platforms where people can share, compete, and connect.

Martial arts taught me discipline and focus. Gaming taught me strategic thinking and collaboration. Coding let me bring those lessons into the real world — transforming creative ideas into tools that empower others.

Outside of tech, I’m energized by Muay Thai, kickboxing, dance, and creating martial arts content. Whether I’m training, coding, or working on a new idea, I give my best and grow through every experience.

I believe in staying curious, finishing what I start, and that great software starts with empathy — and ends with impact.

What I Offer

I bring a strong foundation in full-stack development using TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, FastAPI, and Tailwind CSS. I'm also experienced with databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and I've deployed cloud infrastructure using AWS services including EC2, Lambda, and S3.

My portfolio includes AI-powered applications, multilingual healthcare tools, educational quiz platforms, and real-time API dashboards — all built with scalability, accessibility, and user experience in mind.

Whether I’m contributing to a fast-paced engineering team or leading project architecture, I offer clear communication, creative problem-solving, and the ability to take ideas from concept to deployment with efficiency and care.

What I'm Looking For

I'm looking for a collaborative, mission-driven team where I can grow as a software engineer while contributing meaningful work from day one. I thrive in environments that value curiosity, mentorship, and creative problem-solving.

My ideal role involves building full-stack applications, working with modern web technologies, and having opportunities to work on AI-driven or community-focused products. Whether it's in health tech, edtech, gaming, or civic platforms — I’m motivated by impact.

I’m especially drawn to teams that encourage continuous learning, welcome diverse perspectives, and are committed to building tools that improve lives and bring people closer together.
