Hi there, I'm
Hi, I'm Na Yoon.
Fresh grad. Ready to build.
I'm a CS grad from UCLA who loves turning ideas into real, working software and learning new things along the way. I am actively looking for my first full-time role where I can contribute from day one and keep growing fast.
01. about me
Hey! I'm Na Yoon — though most people call me Kevin. I'm a software engineer who just graduated from UCLA with a degree in Computer Science.
My interest in coding started back in middle school, when I spent hours making games on Scratch. There was something addictive about the idea that you could dream something up and then just... build it.
Since then, I've chased that curiosity across a pretty wide range of projects, from multiplayer web apps and 3D graphics to mobile apps wired up to Raspberry Pi hardware. I like working across the stack and picking up whatever tools the problem calls for.
Right now, I'm actively looking for my first full-time role as a software engineer. If you think I'd be a good fit for your team, I'd love to hear from you.

- Led the full lifecycle of an internal HR chatbot project (requirements → design → deployment), enabling 100% of employees to quickly access HR policy and benefits information through Slack.
- Optimized automation pipelines by integrating APIs (Google Calendar, Slack, OpenAI, OpenRouter), resulting in more reliable and scalable workflows used by multiple cross-functional teams.
- Enhanced AI-driven automation by fine-tuning prompts for two workflows, boosting response accuracy to ~85–90% and reducing the need for manual corrections.
03. projects
Grow-a-gatchi
A cross-platform mobile app that gamifies indoor plant care. Water your real plant, and your virtual Tamagotchi-style sprite reacts — powered by a Raspberry Pi 5 that detects physical watering events and syncs them to the app in real time.
Gartic Band
A multiplayer music composition game where players collaborate in real time to build songs together. Each player controls part of a sequencer, and the result is a shared piece of music — chaotic, fun, and surprisingly creative.
