01 / THE PERSONBEHIND THE WORK.

Hands on.
People in mind.

I’m Kelvin De Moya, a fully remote software engineer and engineering leader. Over 14+ years, I’ve worked on APIs, search, permissions, content platforms, and mobile experiences.

At Wistia, I progressed from Senior Software Engineer II to Staff Software Engineer and Engineering Manager, combining hands-on architecture with coaching and delivery. Earlier, I worked with Beachbody and Riot Games through X-Team, and with Condé Nast through Intellisys.

I use Claude Code and Codex across research, planning, and implementation, with responsibility for architecture, review, and validation staying with me. I’ve also helped engineers adopt those workflows through open demonstrations, individual coaching, and practical projects that connect new tools to real work.
