Hi! I'm Kevin Lin, a Systems Design Engineering student at Waterloo! Proficient in C++, Python, Java, and JavaScript.
As an Android Engineering Intern on the mobile team, I owned a native in-app feedback feature end to end for the Rocket Mortgage app, from initial design through production launch. The feature was built to replace a legacy tool with significantly lower engagement, and I was responsible for both the Android and iOS implementations. Throughout the internship, I worked within the team's established engineering practices, including specification writing and code review, to ship a feature used across a production app with millions of users.
Developed a real-time video communications app on Android using WebRTC, Java, and Kotlin. Built secure device pairing and command verification protocols. Designed the complete UI/UX flow in Figma.
Working on a digital platform for the electricity utility industry to enhance operational efficiency, improve grid reliability, and facilitate the transition to a decentralized, decarbonized energy future. Contributed to another project where I developed AI models to forecast and optimize the demand response curve, helping utilities better anticipate peak loads and align grid behavior with renewable generation patterns.
Represented Team Ontario at the NCF Envirothon, winning third place internationally.
Participated in a team and entrepreneurship summer program at Memorial University, St. Johns, Newfoundland. Competed in the SHAD design project, creating a business plan to develop shelters for homeless people.
