Hello, I am Tim Leonard 🚀

This portfolio is under construction

  • Node.js
  • AWS
  • MongoDB
  • Redis
  • React
  • Ember
  • Svelte
  • Git

I am a full stack developer with passion for learning new technologies and excited for the future of the web. Currently, I work at Epoxy.ai, where I collaborate with a team of experienced engineers to create personalization tools in the sports betting space. While there, I gained experience designing building scalable web applications with AWS. I have been enjoying getting my hands dirty with cloud native architecture.

Previously, I worked at 21PSTEM, a non-profit specializing in education technology for STEM classrooms. There, I worked directly with educators and researches to build applications for use in math classes. That work tied in well with my own history as an educator and public school teacher.

I began my journey as a self-taught web developer. To hone my skills, I took part in projects with chingu.io, where I was grouped with other web developers across the world to build projects together.

In an earlier life, I was a public school teacher in Warren Township, NJ, where I taught instrumental music, and a freelance cellist in New York City.

Skills: TypeScript, AWS, React, Redis, MongoDB, SQL, Ember.js

I am also an avid rock climber, shape note singer, mycologist, and Seinfeld fan.

At 21PSTEM, I worked on a project called EnCOMPASS, which fell under the purview of Mathematical Thinking. The purpose of the project is to encourage student collaboration in the learning process. When using the app, students are able to view one anothers' math work and leave comments for each other.

As the sole developer on this legacy project, it was my responsibility to define features, architect solutions, and to assign priority to stakeholder requests. My main efforts there were:

  • update the legacy codebase to modern JavaScript, including migrating to Ember 3
  • improve the main dashboard UI
  • develop a set of data visualizations for instructors

I learned a ton during my time at 21PSTEM.
