Stephen Leonardo is a Senior Backend Engineer with 7 years of experience building high-concurrency systems and optimizing infrastructure for thousands of QPS. At Grab he has driven measurable efficiency improvements—cutting CPU utilization by 14% through flamegraph-driven optimizations and saving ~10% peak CPU via Redis pipeline and denormalization work. He also improved reliability with advanced sliding-window rate limiters that removed boundary bursts and reduced upstream QPS by a third. Comfortable across the stack, Stephen pairs production performance tuning with pragmatic system design and a TensorFlow certificate that hints at applied ML literacy. Based in Indonesia, he progressed from web development on .NET to backend platform engineering, bringing a hands-on approach to observability and bottleneck hunting. Colleagues rely on him to turn deep-dive analysis into repeatable, low-overhead optimizations that scale.
