Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Leddy is a Senior Software Engineer based in Vancouver with a decade of experience building reliable web systems and tooling at consumer-facing companies like Zillow. He bridges engineering and operational perspectives, having moved from hands-on support and data-mapping work at AbeBooks—where he automated reports, wrote Python/JavaScript scripts, and trained staff—to senior engineering responsibilities at scale. Comfortable across backend, search, AWS, and frontend CSS, he combines practical big-data and ElasticSearch know-how with a developer-first approach honed at Lighthouse Labs. Colleagues benefit from his ability to translate operational issues into durable code and processes, and his background in humanities gives him a clear, user-focused communication style that helps align cross-functional teams.
