Kevin Low

I am a Senior Software Engineer with about 8 years of experience building and modernizing web applications and large-scale backend services. I specialize in PHP and LAMP-stack frameworks (Laravel, CodeIgniter, Symfony) and have led migrations to Kotlin-based microservices on AWS to improve performance and scalability.

I have a strong record of delivering measurable improvements: I led a microservice architecture for Jira Software that improved scalability by 30%, optimized AWS infrastructure (ECS and Lambda) to reduce operational costs by 25%, and implemented CI/CD pipelines that cut release times by 40%. I have also developed high-availability e-commerce and subscription systems supporting over 1 million active subscriptions and contributed collaboration features in Confluence that increased engagement by 20%.

I prioritize clean, secure, and well-documented code, mentor junior engineers, and work effectively within Agile/Scrum teams. I am eager to continue driving technical modernization, mentoring teams, and delivering user-focused, scalable solutions that align with business goals.
