Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Navarro is a Senior Software Engineer in San Jose with 20+ years of systems and embedded software experience and a decade focused on text layout, internationalization and cross-platform build systems. At Netflix he designs and maintains the text layout engine and core SDKs that deliver UI and streaming to diverse devices, drawing on earlier work at Yahoo! and Meedio integrating widget engines and TV platforms on OEM Linux. He is a pragmatic C++ engineer comfortable with Embedded Linux, toolchains, cross-compilation and portable code, and has contributed bug fixes and platform compatibility improvements to notable open-source projects such as backward-cpp. Trained in physics and computer science, he blends low-level systems rigor with UI and font/layout expertise to solve tricky BiDi, shaping and rendering problems across constrained devices. Not obvious from his title: he also has hands-on experience creating build automation and toolchains that simplify partner integrations across heterogeneous hardware.
