Summary
Sonia Fajardo is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 12 years building full‑stack systems and leading teams, currently serving as technical lead for an Enterprise Google Maps team at Google. She brings broad language and platform fluency—iOS (Objective‑C/Swift), JavaScript/React, Python, Ruby, Java, Scala, and Elixir—paired with backend experience in MySQL, MongoDB and search stacks like Elasticsearch. Her background spans startups and large tech (BrightRoll/Yahoo, Radius, Cisco) where she shipped APIs and video ad‑serving infrastructure as well as front‑end product work, demonstrating an ability to move between UI design and scalable service architecture. A Spanish native, she blends hands‑on coding with design‑pattern thinking and agile team leadership, often bridging product and engineering priorities. Not obvious from titles: she’s repeatedly chosen roles that mix new language adoption (Elixir/Scala) with enterprise mapping and geospatial product leadership, showing a taste for complex, cross‑domain systems.
