Today, we're excited to share that <Human id="fabio-kubo"/> is joining our software engineering team.

With over 10 years of experience, Kubo has helped scale products to millions of customers at companies like iFood and Nu. We're thrilled to have him bring that experience to help us scale Resend's platform even further.

## More about Kubo

**How did you get into software?**

I got into software without really knowing what it was. As a kid, I loved playing games and messing around on the computer — so much that my dad had to format it a few times because of me.

Given that background, I knew I'd enjoy something computer-related, so I decided to take a technical computer science course in high school. That's where everything started.

**What does your desktop/home screen look like?**

**Why are you at Resend?**

I first heard about Resend from someone who already worked here. What caught my attention right away was the product, how fast Resend was growing, and the technical challenges behind supporting that growth.

But when I looked deeper into the company, I found the handbook — and that's what really got me. I had never seen a company with a fully public handbook before. I really connected with the values, the culture, the way of working, and of course, the transparency.

**Where do you find #inspiration?**

I don't have just one source of inspiration. I like to draw a little from many different people. A philosophy teacher of mine once told me, "Everyone can teach you something." I keep that in mind, building my own inspiration from small pieces of many unique people.

One thing that always helps me remember the purpose behind what I do is staying close to the people actually using the product I help build. Seeing a customer enjoy a new feature, and hearing their complaints, praise, and suggestions — that's what keeps me going.

**If you weren't programming, what would you be doing?**

I've always loved math and the exact sciences, so if it weren't for programming, I'd probably be in economics. I find it fascinating to understand a bit about macroeconomics and how it shapes people's everyday lives.

**Favorite tool?**

Notion. I couldn't live without it — I put everything I need to remember or do in there. It helps me free my mind and focus on the current task.

**Favorite hotkey?**

Multi-cursor editing in code editors. Yes, my favorite feature is slowly getting replaced by AI coding agents, but it still feels amazing when I get to change multiple lines at once with it.

**Favorite place to visit?**

At first, I was thinking about adding a photo from one of my trips, but after thinking more, I realized my favorite place lately has been Bosque dos Jequitibás, a park here in Campinas, Brazil.

It has everything I need to rest my mind — lots of trees, plenty of shade to walk and run even under Brazil's summer sun. I usually go at times when it's almost empty, which makes it the perfect place to reset.

**Advice for ambitious software engineers?**

The best skill you can practice is learning how to learn. Figure out which method works best for you. Also, understanding the underlying concepts will help you navigate new domains, technologies, and tools.
