Hey! I'm Kenny Nguyen
I'm a Computer Science student at Arizona State University in the accelerated 4+1 program, working towards both my B.S. and M.S. I'm most interested in backend engineering and lately I've been working in Go. Always looking for new opportunities to learn and build.

Experience
- · Led a 3-person team to design and ship a full-stack alumni platform serving 1,000+ users across a global community, making key architectural decisions including technology selection (Next.js, Supabase, Clerk) and system design.
- · Designed the platform's data model and access control architecture, choosing Row Level Security (RLS) to enforce admin and user role separation and Clerk for authentication with webhook-based account linking.
- · Delivered an interactive alumni world map displaying 400+ members with real-time filtering, a CSV-based bulk import tool that migrated 1,000+ legacy records, and an admin dashboard for managing the alumni database.
- · Coordinated integration of third-party services including Mapbox for geocoding, Supabase for the PostgreSQL backend, and Mailgun for targeted bulk-email campaigns to the user base.
