Hi, my name is

Kaden
Luangsouphom

I build full-stack products.

I'm a third-year UF student specializing in full-stack applications. Currently, I'm a Software Engineer Intern at Leidos, focused on API design and building reliable, secure backend systems.

About

A quick snapshot of who I am.

Kaden portrait

I'm a third-year Computer Science student at the University of Florida with a minor in Electrical Engineering. I enjoy building full-stack applications where I'm able to see a product grow from an idea to reality. Throughout my experiences, I naturally gravitated toward backend work where I design APIs, improve reliability, and improve security and data confidence.

Outside of class, I'm involved with multiple UF clubs such as ACM and UF Open Source. I enjoy playing beach volleyball and traveling in my free time. Above all, I value community and the relationships built throughout my life as I try to spend as much time with friends and family as I can.
