Summary
Julius Cebreros is a Development Manager in Auckland with 16 years of hands-on software engineering and team leadership experience spanning front-end visualization, game-like UIs, and cloud-native backend systems. He excels in JavaScript and Node.js, having led migrations, built device-facing frameworks, and delivered high-throughput services that communicate with thousands of devices. Comfortable toggling between visual product work and "invisible plumbing," he also brings practical ops skills—bash, Python, *nix administration—and a knack for reading man pages to solve tricky integration problems. His career blends engineering and design roles at companies like Les Mills, Cove Insurance, and Invenco, where he shipped a graphical editor for device screens and orchestrated Serverless/AWS solutions. While networking and database design are self-identified weaker areas, his proven ability to coach teams and translate product requirements into working systems makes him a dependable bridge between product, design, and engineering.
