endi'm a travesty software engineer from brazil who fell in love with functional programming and never looked back. i spend my days crafting elegant abstractions, maintaining open source projects, and co-hosting elixir em foco, brazil's first elixir podcast.
my code philosophy is simple: if it can be pure, make it pure. if it can be composable, make it composable. if it can help someone, make it open source.
music that moves me
from the industrial power of rammstein to the hypnotic rhythms of mamba negra's dark psytrance, and the raw energy of brazilian funk (rj/sp style). music is how i process the world.
deconstructing society
fascinated by how we construct and reconstruct concepts like religion and gender. i love diving deep into social theory and understanding the systems that shape us (and ruin it up).
building communities
technology is better when we build it together. whether through podcasts, open source, or helping artisanal fishing communities go digital, i believe in tech that connects people.
the elixir ecosystem
from maintaining supabase libraries to creating developer tools, i'm deeply invested in making elixir more accessible and powerful for everyone.
math (but make it approachable)
i find beauty in mathematical concepts even though i'm still learning. there's poetry in patterns, even when the proofs escape me.
i mean... i'm not really a fan of social networks anymore, i think we're going into the wrong direction as society considering the current economical system, but, you can find me here:
