About me

Hey there 👋I’m Zander Leon — a developer who would rather build the thing than talk about building the thing.

The work I’m proudest of is Atlas Space — an AI workspace I built and sold to UTR Global, where their team runs real telecom bills through it in plain English: audit, reconcile, fix. It lives inside a company where being wrong costs money. I’ve also delivered an AI market terminal to a financial group, put a New Jersey nonprofit’s website live, and I’m mid-build on an AI tournament scheduler for a client. The unglamorous half too: rebuilding bugged legacy systems in classic ASP/VBScript.

My own products started with a problem I actually had. Homework kept sliding to 11 p.m., so I built ChronoIQ — an AI study scheduler that won the Congressional App Challenge for New Jersey’s 7th district, selected from over 4,600 apps and displayed at the U.S. Capitol.

Since then: Solaspace, an AI goal-execution app; Bandr, a rule-engine app that helps teens find safe ways to earn; Everdeck, an audit tool for web studios; and Ya Sabo, a Spanish comprehension app for heritage speakers. Seven projects, all original work — zero forks.

  • Sold AI software to UTR Global
  • Congressional App Challenge winner — 4,600+ apps
  • Four products live right now
  • FIRST Robotics — programming + outreach
  • Rainforest conservation fieldwork — Peruvian Amazon
  • Animal rehabilitation volunteer — Patchwork Pastures
