Jefferson León - Software Engineer

Hi, I’m Jefferson Leon 👋

Software Engineer · Developer · Solutions Architect

I build reliable, scalable systems — from event-driven backends and microservices to Cloud architectures and frontends.

I enjoy turning complex problems into clean designs and production-ready code that balances performance, resilience, and developer happiness.

About me

  • Microservices, event-driven, hexagonal, DDD, and pragmatic SOA
  • AWS heavy hitter across compute, serverless, decoupling, data, and observability domains
  • CI/CD pipelines, code quality, and observability-first mindset
  • I value clarity, documentation, feedback loops, and focused delivery
  • Performance geek and optimization fan — happy mad scientist ⚗️
  • Driven by new challenges and constant learning
