Anderson Mesquita

Software developer

I am passionate about Free Software and have extensively contributed to OpenStack and a number of other projects. I enjoy tackling hard problems and improve quality while getting rid of code at the same time. I've had many titles in the past, but I like to keep it simple, so just call me a dev.

 

In my career developing software, I've been able to work with pretty much all mainstream programming languages and tools out there: Python, Ruby, C, Java, Perl, you name it,... chances are I've worked with it.  I don't think I've ever switched projects to work in the same tech stack as before. Ping me if you have something cool and different going on - I enjoy new challenges!

When I'm not coding at work or at home, there's really no easy way to find me: I can be riding my bike through nature, taking pictures of awesome landscape, enjoying a different beer in a pub near you, dancing a number of rhythms, or snowboarding down a mountain somewhere.

I like pairing a lot and I find it to be the best way to teach and learn at the same time, so you're welcome to pair with me in any of the above activities!

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
