Francisco Jiménez Cabrera

Senior Software Engineer

London, UK

I have been obsessed with technology for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood curiosity grew into a self-taught passion and eventually a career dedicated to building better software. Throughout my career, I have purposely moved across various layers of the stack — from coding e-commerce modules and Flask applications to engineering web systems at Canonical and leading MLOps projects at Builder.ai.

Today, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at PolyModels Hub in London, where I focus on DevOps engineering for scientific software platforms.
