Kevin C. Garcia

7 years ago I discovered the love for Software Engineering and the fact that I could build products that would make people's lives a bit easier or better. Ever since, I've been striving for delivering code that's simple, in a timely manner, while addressing customer's needs. Improving also customer experience by building self healing, highly available and performant platforms on a daily basis. Simplicity, trust, and kind candour while having fun is a love letter to me. Have had the chance to build products in industries such as Finance, Restaurant Payments, Vacation Products, Marketplaces, Performance Marketing, Club Management Software and Online ticketing along the way. Some of the things I care/value/am good at Soft Skills (Non Tech Peers English, Share Successes, Own Failures, Active Listener, Team Dynamics Enthusiast), Software Building (Event Driven Systems, TDD, BDD, Layered Architecture Patterns, OOP, FP, CI/ CD), Full Life Cycle Development (Metrics, Alerting, Deployment, Build Tools). Also product management wise (Owning and Leading Epics, Facilitating Collaboration, Resources Management, UX Analysis). Last but not least, I started my journey to becoming an Engineering Manager, it's definitely how I feel I can bring value the most! In 2017, I got certified as Scrum Developer (CSD) by the Scrum Alliance and certified ScrumMaster, since then applying Agile principles is what I like to do on every team I've been part of. When not coding, I'm likely hanging out with my two pretty and noisy little dogs, listening to gazillion playlists on Spotify , dancing when no one's watching , or becoming the next Chopin (ok no ).
