Pedro Netto

Software engineer with 10+ years of experience, currently focused on data engineering and agentic AI at Capgemini Sweden (deployed to Telia). I've worked for companies such as Icelandair and Kolibri, ran my own web studio in Iceland (Brisa), taught and developed the web development curriculum at Tækniskólinn, and co-founded a tourism startup in Vietnam (Conbeo).

My background spans leading small teams, building internal tooling, and establishing engineering practices — now applied to Python, SQL, GCP, event-driven architectures, and agent frameworks.

First and foremost Pedro is generally a nice person who is a great asset to any team.

Some personal interests

Music

I play the guitar since my teenage years and have been looking for a band to join lately. Wanna jam? :)

Photography

Early in 2020 I bought a Fujifilm X-T20 and have been having a fantastic time capturing some of the beautiful things I see around.

Check my pics on the photos section!

Drawing & Painting

Admittedly, I’m the worse at drawing. To counter this small issue, I love creating pictures that don’t require this skill, like creating patterns.

I’ve been experimenting with pencil, pen, watercolor and digital creation.

Philosophy

The questions with answers can amaze, but the ones without any make you stare into the void and wonder: why? 🔮
