Backend Focus
Backend APIs, software engineering fundamentals, and learning how systems are designed for reliability, maintainability, and scale.
Backend Software Engineer Portfolio
Patrick Hung builds reliable software with a focus on Java, backend systems, and clean engineering fundamentals.
Computer Science student at Cal Poly Pomona focused on backend engineering, full-stack development, and system design. I care about readability, strong foundations, and projects that demonstrate practical problem solving.
Systems Thinking
Focus on building scalable, distributed systems with a focus on clean, high-performance architecture
Selected Work
Projects
A few of my projects are listed below. They include both software and a couple of my favorite hardware projects.
Evergreen Seed Database (Current 2026 Semester Project)
Leading development of a web-based seed tracking application for Lopez Urban Farm using Java Spring and a database backend. The system is designed to improve seed inventory management, reduce manual tracking work, and support the nonprofit's seed exchange workflow.
Online Messaging & Forum Application
Built and launched a personalized instant messaging and forum-style application using Firebase. Implemented real-time communication features and user interaction systems to support cross-device messaging and social discussion functionality.
Custom Unix-Like Shell
Developed a fully functional command-line shell in C with piping, redirection, and background execution. Improved process management and reduced execution overhead by roughly 25% while strengthening systems programming fundamentals.

About
About Me
I am a Computer Science student at Cal Poly Pomona expected to graduate in December 2027. I primarily code in Java and C++, and I am especially interested in backend systems, software design, systems design, and building projects that solve practical problems. Outside of software, I also enjoy designing in Fusion 360, 3D printing, and exploring hardware-oriented projects that combine design with engineering.
