I’m Andre Ramaciotti. You may also know me as ars-dev-br, and I’m currently a senior software engineer at Tremendous. Previously, I worked at AlphaSights, CERTI, and Philips Healthcare.

I’ve been working as a software engineer since 2010. I’ve used a multitude of programming languages, but lately I’ve been focusing on Ruby. I also have an interest in Programming Languages as a study subject, and I’m highly curious about Rust and Functional Programming in general.

Besides working as an engineer, I’m also a registered accountant (in Brazil), and I enjoy being a husband, a father, taking care of my ten cats, reading, gaming, and playing the guitar. If you think we should be in touch, feel free to reach me out at blog@ars.dev.br.
