Software engineer, product builder, and advocate for making talent visible.
I'm Helena Pedro, a software engineer and product builder from Angola, based in Bellevue, Washington. I build technology at the intersection of AI, career access, and human opportunity — helping people communicate their value more clearly and expand what is possible.

About
My work sits at the intersection of software, storytelling, and access. I build products and write essays that help people — especially those from non-traditional or underrepresented backgrounds — translate real experience into opportunity.
Before moving to the U.S. to pursue an M.S. in Computer Science, I worked as a software engineer in fintech. Today I'm most interested in how AI can be used with care: not to replace people's voices, but to make them more legible to the systems that decide who gets seen.
