André N. Darcie

I'm a software engineer and computer scientist who loves fusing the humanities with the exact sciences, and art with technology.

By day I'm a senior engineer at NTT Data, working at XP Investimentos (Brazil's largest brokerage) on the card-benefits area: high-impact financial products built on microservices and distributed APIs, with a focus on scalability, observability, resilience and software quality. Before that, at Exato Digital, I worked remotely on KYC and background-check solutions for clients like Grupo Globo, GetNinjas, QuintoAndar, B3, Stone and Huawei.

I hold a BSc in Computer Science and a postgraduate degree in Applied Data Science from PUC Minas, and spent three years in CNPq-funded scientific research. On the side I teach and consult on C# and .NET, founded the "Clube de Leitura nas Montanhas" book club, live as a digital nomad, and build the tools, experiments and small games gathered below.
