Kevin Cruz Lopez
kevin.jpg2026

I'm a software engineer in Chicago, working across full-stack web, robotics, and cloud infrastructure. The seams between layers are where I'm most at home.

Over the last three years I've built and shipped projects ranging from adversarial card-game agents in PyTorch, to networking education platforms in Next.js, to containerized services running on Google Cloud. The work that keeps me interested is whatever sits closest to the metal and still has a person on the other end.

As a member of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, I lead technical projects that bridge engineering education and real-world application.
