About

I'm Pedro Nascimento, Co-founder at Findly (YC S22), where we're building the future of business intelligence through conversational AI. My journey spans from competitive programming in Brazil to building analytics systems at Google and Twitter.

I started programming in Brazil, competing in the ACM ICPC and winning medals at the Brazilian Olympiad in Informatics. After completing my Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in just one year, I dove deep into machine learning research.

In 2016, I joined Google in London, where I spent five years building large-scale analytics systems for AdSense, Analytics, and Media Trends. At Twitter (2021-2022), I led the Analytics and Insights team, helping creators and small businesses succeed on the platform.

The idea for Findly came from a simple observation: despite having more data than ever, most business decisions are still made on intuition rather than insights. Data analysis remained locked behind complex dashboards and required specialized skills.

In 2019, I published “Programador de Elite: Como sair do absoluto zero e trabalhar nas melhores empresas do mundo” (Elite Programmer). The book became an Amazon bestseller and has helped thousands of developers level up their careers.

My approach to technology is grounded in strong theoretical foundations with practical applications. I believe the best technical solutions are invisible to users, and I prioritize human-centered design over technical complexity.
