Summary
Paul Debellis is a back-end developer based in Los Angeles with nine years of professional experience combining server-side engineering and strong customer-facing skills. After an early passion for hardware and an A+ certification path, he pivoted from four years in guest relations at the Natural History Museum into software through an immersive Android program at General Assembly, bringing both technical curiosity and polished communication to engineering teams. Currently developing back-end systems at Lightstorm Entertainment, he leverages Java, JavaScript, SQL, MongoDB, and Android knowledge to build reliable services. Paul’s background in hospitality and sales informs a user-centered approach to problem solving and cross-team collaboration, and he speaks French and plays music—small signals of a disciplined, creative thinker. He aims to blend operational rigor with empathy to deliver software that serves real people.
