SOFTWARE ENGINEER | MUSICIAN

KODY S. YOUNG

WHO I AM

I am a creative technologist, engineer, musician and songwriter building at the intersection of language, design, sound, and human connection. My work blends software engineering, emotional intelligence, and lived experience—shaping tools and experiences that help people feel seen, heard, and understood.

FOUNDER

Originally from Mississippi, I started coding at 14, building robots that competed (and won) in national competitions. At 16, I co-authored NASA-funded research on environmental data modeling. At 22, I published academic research in NLP and machine learning acting as a. catalyst for my tech startup.

Founder of Transverb, a real-time multilingual messaging app designed to help global teams communicate with clarity, tone, and trust across 114+ languages.

What drives me has always been deeper than code—it’s connection.

I believe in tools that empower people across culture and context. I build with both precision and emotion. And I’m just getting started.

MUSICIAN

I write on guitar, bass, and keys, and produce my own beats—layering rhythm, harmony, and emotion into everything I creates. I compose for my band KRC featured below. My music explores themes of intimacy, transformation, spiritual inheritance, and survival.

KRC

is a 7-piece soul-funk band based in NYC that I founded in 2024, blending vintage R&B with modern vulnerability. Born from the ashes of a fractured lineup, KRC rebuilt itself on trust, groove, and raw emotion. With rotating lead vocalists, psychedelic edge, and a sound that moves from healing to electric, KRC has performed everywhere from Times Square to underground live music venues—leaving behind energy, harmony, and heart.

Love Ch4nnel

A visual and sonic portal — “Love Ch4nnel” flows like a frequency. Vertical, intimate, made to hold in your hand and play on repeat. Let the love reshape you.

Labyrinth

Labyrinth is a hypnotic descent into emotional circuitry — where love, memory, and confusion twist into each other. Fragmented and fragile, this piece wanders the mind’s back corridors, trying to escape the echo of something once whole.
