Pedro Cavalheiro

I am a back-end software engineer with 15+ years of experience in the tech world. My career started back in 2010, and since then I have worked in environments ranging from early-stage startups to established companies. I specialize in Ruby. I care a lot about writing code that isn't just functional, but clean and maintainable for the people coming after me.

My background covers a mix of industries, including education, government, immigration, logistics, and advertising. Currently, I am based in Hamburg and have been with Hive since 2025. We are using Ruby on Rails to build software that makes logistics effortless for growing brands.

Beyond the code, I believe that building software is a social activity. I actively participate in meetups and conferences, sometimes sharing ideas as a speaker or just connecting with others as an attendee.

When I’m not coding, I’m probably outdoors. I love being in nature, whether that means hiking, camping, or just exploring with friends. I’m also a naturally curious person, so I’m usually tinkering with a new project or trying to wrap my head around a new topic.
