Summary
Sandro Padin is a Senior Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building user-facing systems and APIs, currently shaping commerce experiences at Netflix after multi-team stints in Acquisition and Animation UI. He brings full-stack fluency across JavaScript, Ruby, Clojure and databases, and has a strong habit of introducing pragmatic front-end pipelines (e.g., adding React into Rails) to decouple monolithic stacks. A disciplined practitioner of TDD and pair programming from his 8th Light days, he balances fast iteration with long-term maintainability. Sandro’s background spans startups and large media platforms, and he pairs hands-on implementation with mentorship and cross-team collaboration. Based in Los Angeles, he also explores machine learning and deep learning tooling alongside his production engineering work, reflecting a curiosity that extends beyond typical frontend/backend boundaries.
