Hi, I’m Jeffrey Rene, a senior software engineer with 15+ years of experience building and scaling distributed, high-availability systems. I specialize in React, Java, Node.js, Python, and Scala, and I’ve designed microservices, RESTful and event-driven architectures, and performance-critical backend services. I enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, scalable solutions. I’ve led design reviews, collaborated with SREs to set SLOs and error budgets, and guided refactoring of legacy monoliths into modular services. I’m passionate about maintaining security, reliability, and maintainability while delivering cloud-native capabilities that empower internal teams and customers.
