@jeffkwong
Senior software engineer specializing in full-stack systems, data integrity, and scalable cloud architectures.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with a track record of delivering full-stack solutions that improve reliability and operational metrics. I design and implement scalable services, frontend experiences, and data pipelines using modern cloud and backend frameworks.
At Capital One I led workflows and clickstream instrumentation that reduced call handling time and data entry errors, and drove encryption standardization across teams. I have also built tokenization microservices and zero-downtime migration tooling for high-volume payment platforms.
Previously at Prime Video I eliminated recurring SEV-2 incidents by enforcing time standards, created a self-service SPA to streamline QA workflows, and fixed systemic data integrity issues with UUID-based designs. I have experience across startups, enterprise cloud, and classified environments.
I value pragmatic engineering, cross-team collaboration, and measurable impact. I seek roles where I can architect reliable systems, mentor engineers, and deliver product-quality solutions that reduce operational burden and drive business value.
