INTERESTS

Information systems

I'm passionate about complex information systems—understanding how they operate, communicate, share data, and remain secure and high-performing.

Finance and Banking

I have a strong interest in the inner workings of the financial system. I'm especially curious about how transactional services interconnect, support large-scale operations, and influence everyday life.

PEDRO JIMENEZ

SENIOR FULL-STACK SOFTWARE ENGINEER | PRODUCT ENGINEERING & FEATURE DELIVERY

SUMMARY

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 11 years of experience building web products across frontend, backend, and the broader delivery lifecycle.

I enjoy turning product requirements into reliable software and working across the stack to solve problems and get features into production. My work has included JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Go, GraphQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP.

Over the years, I've also worked on architecture, infrastructure, security, and developer experience, but these days I'm most interested in building useful features, improving product workflows, and shipping high-quality software.

Currently working remotely as a Senior Software Engineer at Niche.com, a leading Edtech platform for college and K-12 school search and discovery, where I contribute to platform architecture, accessibility, and full-stack product development.
