I'm Leo Vance, a final-year CS student weaving digital threads into functional tapestries. I bridge the gap between pixel-perfect interactive design and robust full-stack architecture. Let's build something people actually want to use.
A versatile toolbelt forged through academic rigor and hands-on freelance projects. I focus on modern JS ecosystems while maintaining a strong grasp of backend architecture and database optimization.
Technologies I actively deploy in production environments.
A comprehensive financial management dashboard for small businesses. Features include real-time expense tracking, automated invoice generation, and predictive cash-flow modeling using integrated third-party banking APIs. The backend architecture successfully handles complex relational data queries across thousands of transactions with sub-second latency.

Hiring Leo as a freelancer was the best decision for our startup. He built our MVP from the ground up in record time, implementing features we thought would take a whole team to accomplish. Highly communicative and reliable.
Brilliant problem solver. When we faced severe database bottlenecks, Leo audited our architecture and implemented an indexing and caching strategy that cut load times by half. A true full-stack mentality.
Currently looking for a challenging 6-month end-of-studies internship or exciting freelance contracts. Whether you have a project in mind or just want to chat about tech, drop me a message.
