About me
Hey there, I'm Lucas Machado
! I'm a software engineer and enthusiast, passionate about distributed systems and all the cool stuff that comes with them
! Currently, I'm working as Engineer Lead at wefox, we're building an amazing platform and shifting the insurance industry all over Europe.
Over the years, I've gained extensive experience as a software engineer and engineering lead. I've shipped entire products from scractch, scaled-up existing ones and even saved some others. Delivering impact is what drives me most, and making people's lives better through software fascinates me.
I consider myself lucky because I've always been surrounded by amazing engineers and leaders. From the very beginning of my career, I've been able to learn from some of the best in the industry, and I'm constantly pushing myself to improve and grow as a professional.

A bit more about me
I was born and raised in the northeast of Brazil, a place with a unique culture and vibrant people called São LuÃs. Currently, I'm living in Barcelona, Spain, which has been an amazing city to explore and call home. If you happen to be in town, let me know, and let's grab a coffee
I love Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, and I'm fascinated by the way they shape our understanding of the world. At one point during my university years, I was drawn to the field of theoretical physics and even participated in several research programs related to astrophysics out of sheer curiosity. I also love learning about History, as it helps me understand how we got to where we are today and where we can be in the future.
In my free time, I enjoy being engaged into software-related content such as books and articles, as well as socializing over coffee with friends or exploring the environment outdoors. And from time to time, I get fully immersed in a random hobby or activity like playing flamenco guitar, rollerblading, cycling, weightlifting and goes on...
I believe empathy is the key to unlock a better world.
What people have to say about me
Finally, here are a few lovely words that great people have shared about me in public:
With a perfect combination between technical and social skills, Lucas is the kind of professional every company would benefit in having him in the team. We worked together in Mundiale, in the same squad, where I was the Product Manager and he was the Tech Lead.
The best way to describe his work is that he made everything simple and possible. From explaining technical details to discussing strategy, Lucas always have a clear and inteligent point of view. He is a leader in development and there is no doubt his future is bright. He is a professional I would recommend in any situation.
I had the opportunity to work with Lucas during my time at pulse, and I can say that he is a professional above average, when I say this, I am not being nice, I am being honest, I had the opportunity to see up close his technical skills and I can guarantee that the team that has Lucas in its team will be very well prepared for various situations because his decision-making ability makes the difference.
Lucas can work in pressure environments with tranquility and will deliver value to your business like no one else. Many are his qualities, but I can easily highlight many of them: Friendly, Highly Skilled, Technical, High Mood, Extreme analytical capacity. Lucas is super competent, focused, solicited, and has a very high level of technical knowledge.
To have Lucas on the team is to have someone who is concerned with the well-being not only of the team but also with the results of the company. Lucas will certainly have a bright future ahead of him. I consider myself grateful to have known and worked with him on the same team. I recommend his work with my eyes closed because I know he will be able to do the job.
There is only one word that comes to mind when I think of Lucas, and that is brilliant. Lucas is a great professional, probably one of the best (if not the best) I have already worked with, it is startling to see how a person so young can already have so much knowledge, he really knows how to work in a team, knows how to share his experiences, and most importantly knows how to listen to his coworkers, he is the complete package that any company needs.
Lucas was the Tech lead in my team at Mundiale, and he is the best at it, he knows how to handle adversities and is not afraid of facing new challenges, he is great not only at programming but also in architecting new solutions. For all these reasons he has my most sincere respect, and I would really appreciate it if we get to work together once again in the future, because working with him is such a fun and enriching experience.
I would have no hesitation recommending Lucas to any potential company seeking new talent.
