karynn tran

I'm a software engineer based out of New York, focused on the front end and user experience.

about me

I'm a software engineer today, but before writing code, I used to write stories.

My career began in consumer research as a qualitative storyteller: I took hundreds of journeys through the lives of consumers and surfaced fascinating insights about their relationships with brands.

Today, as an engineer, I strive to keep the user front and center, building engaging digital experiences through beautiful design, clean code, empathy and thoughtful user experience.
