Software engineer & product thinkerLos Angeles / Remote

Leon Yanagida

A curious mind. An open canvas.

Somewhere
between logic
and a little
magic

I build software. I think in systems.
And I leave room for a little play.

A small experiment, waiting for you.

A little more about mePRODUCT INSTINCT. ENGINEERING MINDSET.

Good software starts
with understanding.

Hi, I’m Leon. I’m a software engineer who connects the product, technical, and business sides of an idea.

I do my best work close to both the product and the code. That’s where I can spot tradeoffs early, simplify workflows, and turn a good idea into something people actually use.

I care about solving a real problem and building something that stays useful as it grows.

HOW I THINK & BUILD

Many moving parts.
One considered whole.

CURRENTLY EXPLORING
AWS Cloud Certifications
FROM INTERFACE TO API

I design and develop complete product flows across frontend, backend, APIs, and application logic with a focus on maintainability and speed.

React / Next.js / TypeScript
SERIOUSLY USEFUL. SIMPLY FUN.

Chrome Piano

Not everything starts with a grand plan. Sometimes, you just want a piano in your browser.

A fun side project I built in 2017. A small idea that found its way into a lot of people’s everyday lives.
