# Ricardo Leite > Software Engineer 2 @ Microsoft | Fullstack Developer (Typescript, React, C#, Cloud) Location: Redmond, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ricardoleite I’m a Software Engineer 2 at Microsoft who thrives in the 0-1 stage of product development - taking an idea from concept to scalable system. I specialize in Full-Stack development, distributed systems, and user-centric design, with experience spanning Swift/SwiftUI, React/TypeScript, and Azure infrastructure. I started my journey on Places Mobile, an iOS product built from the ground up, where I focused on the infra-oriented foundation - app lifecycle management, data flow architecture, telemetry, and clean, modern UI using SwiftUI. Since then, I’ve worked on space management and AI-driven tools within Microsoft, designing solutions that streamline internal workflows and save teams months of manual effort through automation. I specialize in crafting systems that scale both technically and organizationally that balance great user experience with robust, cloud-ready foundations. My current work involves leading a small engineering team, defining the core architecture for internal tools that power how Microsoft coordinates and manages its workspace operations. Beyond code, I'm always optimizing - whether it's reading, lifting, cooking, and experimenting with new ways to improve how we work and live. I believe great engineering lives at the intersection of impact, design, and execution - the space I aim to build in every day. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer 2 @ Microsoft Jan 2024 – Present | Redmond, Washington, United States • FullStack software engineer building enterprise and workplace management systems (Typescript, React, C#, Azure) ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2022 – Present | Redmond, Washington, United States • Full-Stack Engineer • iOS engineer Microsoft Places Mobile ### CS Instructor @ Juni Learning Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 Juni Learning offers hands-on Computer Science, Math, and English personalized 1:1 classes to kids ages 8-18. • Taught students 1:1 in programming concepts in JavaScript, Python, C++, and Java • Helped students learn, understand and code algorithmic problems and coding challenges • Provided custom take-home projects to help students enhance their learning experience • Reviewed and gave feedback to students on their assigned projects in each class, working through other potential solutions and answering questions about problems they encountered ### Software Engineer Intern @ American Express Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Phoenix, Arizona, United States ### Team Lead @ Lambda School Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Orem, Utah Working directly with students to create an inclusive environment that promotes professionalism and technical skills development, while providing opportunities to enhance the skills their learning throughout the program. • Provided daily feedback and issue resolution of all curriculum questions through Slack help channel or code review • Delivered one-on-one feedback and code reviews on a weekly basis • Led a team of 10 students that emulates a real work environment using Agile methodology • Mentored 10+ students on how to learn effectively and solve programming problems. • Reviewed student code and giving feedback on areas of improvement • Led daily standup meetings to build camaraderie, facilitate sharing of ideas and work progress, and provide guidance for that week’s study material • Hosted support hours to deep dive in more concepts students are learning as well as help with their learning outcome by reviewing these concepts ### Co-Founder/Operations Manager @ Optimize Play Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | Greater Salt Lake City Area • Managed online sales through Shopify and Amazon • Worked on a Kickstarter campaign that generated over $300,000 in pre-orders URL: https://bit.ly/3hg3USd • Led and managed fulfillment team, as well as worked on negotiating lower rates and faster shipment worldwide • Managed advertisement campaigns • Organized and worked on trade-shows across the US and Europe such as Vidcon California, Vidcon London, Phoenix Fan Fusion, Comic-Con International, Grand Rapid Comic-Con ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science Brigham Young University Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 ### Full-Stack Web Development in Computer Science BloomTech Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/ricardo-leite-jr - GitHub: https://github.com/ricardo-ljr --- Source: https://flows.cv/ricardoleite JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/ricardoleite/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
