About me

A little bit about me and what I love to do.

Hello, I'm Nguyen Luu

As a Senior Software Engineer who cares deeply about how people experience products, I translate customer problems into clear design and engineering solutions — from polished UI interactions to robust backend behavior. I partner closely with different stakeholders, product and design to prioritize the right work, coach team members, and deliver reliable releases. When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing pickleball, tending to house plants, planning events or hanging out with my two dogs.

    My Works

    My professional journey so far.

    Senior Software Engineer - PayPal
    Mar 2020 - Present

    Drove cross-functional delivery of strategic features (AI-driven support, cloud migrations, and agent workflows) as a technical lead, partnering with stakeholders, product, architects and design to focus on measurable user impact and running demos for leadership to showcase progress. I ensured reliable releases and observability with Jenkins, Harness, Splunk and Looker, boosted overall test coverage to 90% with Jest and Vitest, championed automation with Cypress and Playwright to reduce regressions, and led teaching sessions to upskill the engineering organization.

    Software Engineer II - Hayneedle
    Nov 2018 - Jan 2020

    Led engineering of a production-ready, cross-platform e‑commerce application and drove the account redesign and loyalty-program initiatives to improve retention and user engagement, partnering closely with product and design and producing Sketch/InVision prototypes. I modernized legacy code to a JavaScript/React/Node/Redux/SASS stack, managed production deployments with Bamboo, Rancher and Docker, and used Adobe click tracking and Amplitude to drive analytics-informed decisions in an Agile (Git/Bitbucket/Jira) workflow.

    Development Intern - Archrival
    Jan 2018 - Sep 2018

    Redesigned the company’s Playbook with Angular to create a more user-friendly environment for Adidas, Hollister, and Redbull field agents to share knowledge, perform store inspections, and check in with managers. Implemented the solution using PHP/Laravel, JavaScript/TypeScript (Backbone, Angular), HTML5/CSS/SASS and MySQL, added Slackbots with Node.js, and delivered through agile practices using GitLab, Jira, Crucible, and Springloops.

    System Engineer Assistant - Nobl
    Jul 2017 - Dec 2017

    Improved sales efficiency by designing and implementing an internal CRM tool on Prosperworks that provided each representative with prioritized leads based on pipeline criteria. Built with PHP/Phalcon, MySQL and a front-end stack (HTML5, jQuery, Less), and delivered via Agile practices using Git, Jira, and Bitbucket.

    Software Engineering Intern - Compass Marketing Solutions
    Jan 2017 - May 2017

    Built a calendar application that displayed monthly events and employee schedules, improving coordination and overall productivity across teams. Implemented with JavaScript/Node.js and React (Koa backend), Dockerized with MongoDB, and tested using Mocha.

    Developer - Raikes Design Studio (Fiserv)
    Aug 2016 - May 2017

    Transformed the banking experience by delivering a web app and an iOS app that enabled managers to verify transactions using biometric authentication, significantly speeding approval workflows for customers. Designed the web application with C#/ASP.NET MVC, HTML5/CSS and MySQL, and built the iOS app in Swift/Xcode.
