Kevin Le, Web Developer
Kevin Le was born in Vietnam , the son of a wealthy businessman. His real name is Cuong Le. Tipped off by a government official, his family left Vietnam right before the war broke out, and came to the United States in 1975 as the first group of Vietnamese
Refugees to settle in California . English was Kevin’s second language, which made school very difficult for Kevin, but he was determined to succeed. He finished college and earned a degree in Computer Science. After graduation Kevin worked for Dun &
Bradstreet for nine years. While there, Kevin handled all aspects of information systems technology, including building computers, building networks, software implementations, systems integration and writing applications. He traveled 70% of the time,
handling on-site system implementations and integrations. It was at this company that his boss renamed him Kevin. His Vietnamese name was very hard to say for many of his co-workers and customers. His boss called him Kevin because he and their
customers could not pronounce his given name, Cuong.
Years later, Kevin moved to Pfastship Worldwide Logistics in Irvine . Here he was the team leader of the commercial software development group for eight years. He was the manager for three programmers, two business analysts, and one technical
document writer. He created new GUI systems from a character base using Microsoft tools and platforms. One of his projects was integrating Pfastship shipping software with SYSPRO software for Star Trac, a current SYSPRO customer.
Kevin came to SYSPRO as a Web Developer in February 2005. He is currently working on SYSPRO’s SharePoint portals, CRM, and the SYSPRO Learning Channel (SLC). He looks forward to using all of his IT skills here. He loves the software industry,
especially web technology, and is an expert in Microsoft technology. He is also an expert in graphics. He says that SYSPRO feels like it is not a job since he is paid for what he loves to do. Kevin is experienced in multiple computer languages and all platforms,
including the mainframe, midrange systems and the PC. He specializes in analyzing business processes, software consultation, implementation of new software systems and systems integration, as well as writing applications for websites. He likes to
create new web applications and integrate systems together. When he’s writing an application, his thought process covers many angles, starting from the user’s point of view and moving to the view of a system administrator.
In life outside of SYSPRO, Kevin is a single father to Kevin, Jr., 14, and to Tiffany, 12. He can be found most days after work at a Costa Mesa soccer field watching his children play soccer. Kevin Jr.’s soccer team went undefeated this year and will soon play in
a California state tournament. Tiffany plays for Costa Mesa ’s APP (Advanced Player Program), and you can check out pictures of Tiffany’s team at www.tiffanyle.com, a website that Kevin developed and includes some of his photography.
Kevin is a professional photographer, and was once a staff photographer for the San Diego Union Tribune. Some of his photographs have been published in magazines and on websites, as well as in newspapers. He also once owned a large photography
business and bridal shop. Kevin is outgoing and gregarious. He is known to his friends as “the Vietnamese Tom Cruise” for his love of entertainment and the nightlife.
Kevin is extremely self-motivated and always keeps abreast of the latest trends in technology. He is “obsessive in his pursuit of new challenges” and is looking forward to helping SYSPRO in all software development areas. Kevin’s life is so ingrained with
computers that on many sleepless nights, Kevin goes to his computer to write applications or create new websites. With the many talents, expertise, energy and enthusiasm Kevin possesses, it is obvious why he was chosen as one of SYSPRO’s Rising Stars
at the Employee Awards this year.
