👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaulo Ancheta is a Senior Software Engineer in Vancouver with 11 years of professional experience transitioning from a culinary career into web development after graduating CodeCore. He’s a Ruby enthusiast who has grown into senior and team lead roles across startups and scale-ups (Unbounce, Lendesk, Supercast, Zipline), consistently delivering readable, team-friendly code and advocating remote-first practices even for co-located teams. Paulo pairs a chef’s discipline for process and collaboration with pragmatic engineering—preferring maintainable, multiple-solution thinking over single answers. He mentors others (former bootcamp teaching assistant) and favors sharing knowledge, bringing both hands-on implementation and people-focused leadership to product teams. A witty pragmatist—“codes come and go but my bugs live forever”—he balances humility with ownership across the full stack.
