Summary
Pedro Liska is a seasoned software engineering manager based in Salt Lake City with over two decades in engineering and nearly a decade as a manager, blending hands-on coding with team leadership. He progressed from senior engineer to technical lead and manager at 1-800 CONTACTS, where he split time between shipping code and improving delivery processes—introducing CI, business-hours releases, and dashboards that measurably improved quality. His full-stack experience spans Angular, C#, .NET Core, MSSQL, Azure DevOps and device-access web features for telemedicine, plus earlier work on high-load CQRS systems and university-scale LMS platforms. Pedro pairs an engineer’s attention to architecture and tooling with an educator’s mindset—having taught and mentored students while building production systems—which helps him develop teams as well as software. He holds an MBA and a background in electronics engineering, and is comfortable taking on both technical experiments (e.g., hands-on database deployment tooling trials) and long-term operational improvements.
