Kenzo Fukuda

Software Engineer

I work across the whole stack, and I love learning fast and shipping products people actually use.

Who I am

Mostly I just like building the thing

I'm Kenzo, a CS student at the University of Florida pursuing a career as a Software Engineer. I develop full-stack and mobile apps, and I love making software that helps people. Off the clock I'm on the volleyball court, in the water surfing, on a board, or back home cooking, gaming, and playing guitar.

I ship under tight deadlines and learn by doing. This year I cut cost and latency out of media pipelines at Vobile, co-founded and deployed BeachLens to 20,000+ users, and led the team at SASE to successfully ship our semester project. I'm usually the one who volunteers and is always down to try something new.

Currently

SWE Intern at Vobile, optimizing media pipelines for studios like Netflix and Disney.
Co-Founder & CTO at BeachLens, a real-time beach data app with 20,000+ users.
