Portrait of Brian Kim

A little more about me.

I'm Brian (Hyunjun) Kim, a Software Development Engineer on the EC2 team at AWS. Across my internships and projects, I've built user interfaces, backend services, and the cloud infrastructure they run on, working with React and Next.js, Python, Rails and FastAPI, and Kubernetes and Terraform on AWS.

Before AWS, I migrated databases and a web app at Apple, built Kubernetes monitoring at Samsung, and was a databases teaching assistant at NYU, where I earned my BS and MS in Computer Science.
