Profile Picture
Kevin L. Truong

I have been passionate about technology since I was a kid. When I got my first smart phone from my brother-in-law, I spent days to learn how to jailbreak the phone and install some extensions that were not supported by Apple. Not only iPhone, but I also learned how to root an Android device when I got an Android phone from my cousin. I knew then that I wanted to pursue software development as my career.

I got my first Associate Degree from Houston Community College, which I focused on programming. Due to my personal finance, I took a year off from college and worked for a local restaurant which I obtained assistant manager role and learned leadership and management skills. I continue to pursue my dream career at Virginia Tech, and I am currently a senior in Computer Science at Virginia Tech and will be graduating in May 2022. I am proficient in Java programming language and have basic knowledges in C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript and have experience in Linux, Angular/BootStrap Framework, Eclipse, Visual Studio and WebStorm tools through my Computer Science courses. I am interested in software and web development and actively seeking for full time entry level software engineering opportunities.
