Summary
Thadeu Tucci is a Technical Lead at Fireflies.ai with 11 years of engineering experience and a PhD in Computer Science focused on distributed systems and modular robotics. He combines rigorous academic research—where he built scalable distributed algorithms and an open-source modular-robot simulator—with hands-on backend production work at Silicon Valley startups, shipping microservices in NodeJS, Python, Go and cloud-native AWS environments. A former programming contest competitor, he brings strong algorithmic thinking to practical problems like database reduction, CI/CD adoption, and performance-driven modularization. He mentors teams toward clean code, testing, and DRY practices while contributing to product growth and reliability. Curious about new paradigms, he’s explored AI, blockchain and zero-knowledge tooling through a ZK bootcamp, blending deep systems thinking with startup delivery experience.
