Jose Leal - Software Engineer
Available for work

I'm a passionate software engineer and recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Fisher College, specializing in Software Engineering. I have hands-on experience building robust back-end services and working with modern development technologies.

During my internship at Maplink Global, I successfully rebuilt their legacy Java SDK into a Python-based solution, collaborating with an international team and gaining valuable experience in cross-cultural communication and remote development practices.

I'm proficient in multiple programming languages and frameworks, with a strong foundation in Python, JavaScript, React, and cloud technologies. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and contribute to innovative projects.
