Summary
James Jelenko is a software engineering consultant with nine years of hands-on experience building full-stack web applications across Python and JavaScript ecosystems, particularly Django, Node, React, and TypeScript. He combines pragmatic engineering with clear, precise communication to reduce inefficiency and align deliverables with customer needs, having driven measurable outcomes like reduced churn, lower operational errors, and faster CI/CD cycles. James has blended product-facing work with security-minded roles—improving system resilience and conducting adversarial prompt testing for LLMs—while also leading teams as a Scrum Master and educator. Based in California, he brings a curious, interdisciplinary approach informed by a background in English and a habit of exploring recreational math and Raspberry Pi hardware tinkering, which fuels his interest in the physical/digital interaction.
