Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Esperança is a Principal Software Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building large-scale, easy-to-maintain systems across fintech, Web3, and data-heavy startups. He combines hands-on frontend architecture (React, Typescript, D3) with operational leadership from founding Data Gatherers—where he ran a team delivering custom, high-throughput data pipelines and visualizations for hedge funds. His career spans product-led roles and multiple founder exits, showing a knack for turning experimental ideas (Liquid Vote, Wave.cat) into production services. Pedro prioritizes wellbeing, quality, and performance, and has repeatedly improved developer velocity and UX while keeping code footprints lean (25Kb widget work). He mentors engineers and bridges technical strategy with delivery, equally comfortable shipping polished UIs or architecting backend data flows. Outside core engineering he writes on management topics and curates a network of endorsed senior developers.
