Welcome to Building Better 🚀

I’m André Figueira, a seasoned software engineer, entrepreneur, and perpetual learner.

With over 20 years of experience in tech, I’ve built systems, led teams, and explored the intersection of software, investing, and entrepreneurship.

I’ve worked for global corporations, run my own consultancy, and contributed to the tools that power countless businesses. Through these experiences, I’ve learned valuable lessons—and I’m here to share them with you.

Whether you're here to level up your coding skills, gain insights into investing and trading, or explore strategies for personal growth, you’re in the right place.
