Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Figueiredo is a Software Engineer II with a decade of hands-on experience building production software across entertainment, travel, and media at companies like Skywalker Sound, The Walt Disney Company, and Expedia Group. A UCF-trained computer engineer based in New York, he moves fluidly between mobile, web, backend services, CI/CD and IoT—having shipped Android apps, node modules, device onboarding pipelines, and tooling to streamline team workflows.
