Senior🎓
Top SchoolJared Leonard is a senior frontend engineer with 11 years of experience who designs client-side systems that other engineers build on top of, currently leading browser-edge orchestration at AWS. He architected and single-handedly owns EC2 Global View, a client-only system that aggregates ~1,000 concurrent API calls across 30+ regions to serve 1M+ monthly users with zero backend cost and sub-5-second global inventories. Jared also shaped the VPC Console and its microfrontend platform, led cross-resource relationship mapping, and drives production reliability as a long-serving on-call and operational owner. Beyond coding, he serves as an Amazon Bar Raiser and security/change-control guardian, blending hands-on engineering with organizational governance. His background spans fintech, serverless backends, and mobile React Native, giving him a pragmatic full-stack perspective uncommon in a frontend specialist. Based in Virginia, he pairs deep distributed-systems thinking with a talent for shipping scalable, user-facing infrastructure.
