About me

I'm Jervil Angelo De Leon, an all-round IT professional based in Makati: programmer, game developer, video editor and helpdesk support, with a BSIT from FEU Institute of Technology.

I currently work in helpdesk support on an HRIS project, giving Level 1 support for an HR system used by seafarers and office staff. I resolve what I can, escalate what needs it, and document fixes so the same problem only gets solved once. That work is where my template tracker automation came from.

My path into IT went through animation and game development, a C# programming internship, and onsite hardware work for an HP service centre. Each stage added something I still use: programming, hands-on troubleshooting, and explaining a fix to the person who depends on it.

I'm working toward a role as a Cloud Engineer. My approach is to earn a certification, then build something real with it on AWS: a serverless ticketing API, a secured EC2 setup in a custom VPC, and Teolohiya.site, which is live today.

Outside work

  • Console gaming
  • Dota 2
  • Valorant
  • Books
  • Photography
  • Music

What I'm focused on

  • Serverless architectureLambda, API Gateway, AppSync and DynamoDB, and keeping cost tied to usage.
  • Networking and securityVPCs, security groups, least-privilege IAM roles and Cognito-based access.
  • Operations and costCloudWatch logs and alarms, AWS Budgets, and avoiding always-on spend like NAT gateways.
  • Infrastructure as codeAmplify Gen 2 with CDK and CloudFormation; next, rebuilding the ticketing API as an AWS SAM template.
  • AutomationPower Automate and Power BI at work, to replace manual checks with something that runs every day.

Where I'm heading

A junior cloud, infrastructure or systems role where I can keep building, learn from experienced engineers, and look after systems people rely on.
