Summary
Kah Leong is a senior software engineer based in London with six years of hands-on experience building cloud-native systems and automation, particularly on AWS and serverless platforms. After contributing to Alexa infrastructure at Amazon—where they reduced latencies and helped migrate services to native AWS—they've applied that operational rigor to legal-tech at Keystone AI, supporting high-profile litigation with scalable tooling and codebase analysis. Kah blends backend engineering (Java, Python, Go) with infrastructure-as-code and observability improvements that cut operational load, and has a curious streak in cybersecurity pursued through courses and TryHackMe exercises. A habitual hacker and organizer, they’ve led university hackathons and consistently ship internal tools that turn manual workflows into automated pipelines. Driven by problem-solving and cross-disciplinary collaboration, Kah is equally comfortable translating technical findings for non-technical stakeholders as they are writing production-grade software.
