William Lemon is an AWS-focused developer and recent Computer Science and Engineering graduate from The Ohio State University, currently building cloud-native, asynchronous systems at Signet Jewelers. He has hands-on experience with Lambda, SQS, CloudWatch, and modern TypeScript/Node.js CI/CD pipelines, and led migration efforts to Node 22 and AWS SDK v3 during his internship. Beyond corporate work he pursues varied side projects—from a 2D Android puzzle-platformer in Kotlin and a full-stack React study app to an NFL play-predicting ML model—demonstrating curiosity across games, mobile, web, and data. An active open-source contributor, he implemented complex backend mechanics for the AuroraStation game (telepathic "Skrell Shared Dreaming" systems), highlighting his comfort with systems-level game logic and emergent behavior. He pairs practical production experience with a habit of prototyping end-to-end projects, making him a versatile early-career engineer who enjoys building things from scratch.
