Jhonathan Abreu is a versatile software engineer with nine years of experience building backend systems, C++ libraries for domain-specific optimization, and full-stack web platforms for the energy sector and beyond. He has a proven ability to learn on the job—picking up Java while shipping production backends and contributing C# indicators and trading algorithms to the popular QuantConnect Lean engine. As a former undergraduate teaching assistant in algorithms and data structures, he blends strong fundamentals with practical engineering, having co-led development of Clustergy and delivered tools that model petroleum production systems. Comfortable across languages and layers (C/C++, Java, JavaScript/React, Express, PostgreSQL), he favors solving hard problems that connect low-level algorithmic work to user-facing analytics. Based in Mérida, Venezuela, he combines academic rigor with startup agility and a habit of exploring new paths in computing for curiosity as much as career growth.
