Summary
Francisco Herrero is a senior backend engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience building performant C++ systems and scalable Python services, currently driving backend work at ShipHero from Argentina. He transitioned from advanced Python frameworks into deep C++ systems engineering around 2011, focusing on high-performance software for resource-constrained, mission-critical environments. His background spans startups, corporations (Intel, McAfee), and teaching software development, which gives him both practical production experience and an ability to mentor teams. Comfortable across Linux toolchains (GDB, Valgrind), Qt, Django/Flask and multiple VCS, he favors simple, maintainable solutions that scale. A longtime educator and collaborator on research-style projects like the ViSi virus simulator, he brings an unusual mix of low-level systems rigor and pragmatic web/backend delivery.
