Summary
Joe Leaver is a pragmatic developer and project management consultant in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of focused experience delivering cloud-native, data streaming, and mobile solutions for startups, enterprises, and non-profits. He blends hands-on JS/React and React Native development with infrastructure-as-code and DevOps leadership—having led migrations of 10k+ app instances to GCS and built Kafka streaming platforms for UC San Diego and Advance Auto Parts. Joe has a demonstrated track record of driving organizational change and cost savings—managing a $20M initiative and transforming teams from waterfall to agile/DevOps at companies like Mercedes-Benz R&D and Intel Security. Comfortable in both customer-facing and engineering roles, he has headed global solutions engineering and customer success while also founding and exiting a virtual infrastructure startup. Notably, he pairs a relentless focus on customer success with an ability to ship production-ready systems under compliance constraints (ISO/SOX/PCI), and brings an energetic, startup-minded curiosity that belies the ADHD comment in his GitHub bio.
