Huon Peard is a full-stack developer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping secure, data-driven web applications, currently building at Leonardo.Ai from Sydney. He combines front-end expertise in TypeScript/React with Python GraphQL backends and has led migrations that improved developer productivity and real-time data capabilities. As a former CTO and frontend/API lead, he created component libraries, internationalised products used across hundreds of schools, and built a Rust-based real-time scanner for third-party exposures. Earlier security research uncovered high-profile vulnerabilities and produced tooling for deobfuscating Android binaries and reverse-engineering modern SPAs—skills he now channels into building resilient, auditable systems. Huon’s pragmatic blend of product focus, security-first thinking, and experience with cutting-edge web frameworks makes him adept at turning complex requirements into reliable, scalable solutions.
