Senior🎓
Top SchoolLennon Shimokawa is a software engineer with over 14 years of hands-on experience building scalable APIs, secure platforms, and data-driven systems, now based in Oregon while originally from Peru. He specializes in Ruby on Rails and Neo4j, having designed flexible JSON:API endpoints and a DSL for complex graph traversals at a Tier-1 consulting practice, and has driven SOC 2–aligned security fixes from pentest findings to production. A former ed-tech founder and professor, he designed and taught 10+ computer science courses, trained 1,000+ students, and grew an 8,000+ developer community through an e-learning platform and live streaming. Lennon combines product-minded API design with practical data engineering (Python/Airflow) and release coordination, mentoring junior engineers and formalizing documentation and architectural decisions. Less obvious: he blends academic rigor and startup grit, having led cross-functional teams and organized 25+ Latin American tech events to promote diversity and knowledge sharing.
