Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Jamieson is a multidisciplinary professional who has blended a 40+ year career in application and web development with a return to literary pursuits as a Portuguese-to-English translator and custom bookbinder. Based in San Francisco, he brings senior engineering and solutions-architect experience across JavaScript, React/React Native, GraphQL, server-side rendering, and AWS serverless architectures, having led projects for agencies and enterprises alike. He founded Sandpiper Books and Sandpiper Press early in his career, launched PC-based publishing back-office software that catalyzed his programming path, and later guided cross-functional teams and offshore collaborations. Comfortable switching between hands-on coding and technical leadership, he has a track record of stabilizing legacy systems and delivering interactive, content-rich applications for healthcare, retail, and media clients. Fluent in English with reading ability in French, Portuguese and Spanish, he combines linguistic sensitivity with technical rigor—a useful edge for literary translation of complex texts. His profile reflects an uncommon arc from bookseller and publisher to seasoned developer and back again, bringing both editorial taste and engineering discipline to every project.
