Summary
Leo Torres is a contract web developer with over a decade of diverse experience, blending military discipline, academic breadth in philosophy and interdisciplinary studies, and immersive full-stack training from General Assembly and Lambda School. He builds and maintains web applications using JavaScript, React, Express, PostgreSQL and familiar tooling like Git, Bootstrap and Material Design, and has hands-on experience writing SQL and troubleshooting production systems.
