Our Story
DHD Tech was founded by Diogo Hudson Dias, a technologist with over 25 years of experience building software, leading engineering teams, and consulting for companies across the globe. After spending years working with US companies and seeing firsthand the challenges they face finding quality engineering talent, Diogo started DHD Tech with a simple premise: US companies deserve better than the typical outsourcing experience.
Too many outsourcing firms assign junior developers, hide behind layers of account managers, and treat clients as interchangeable revenue streams. DHD Tech takes a different approach. We're small by design — because quality doesn't scale the way headcount does. Every engineer is personally vetted by Diogo, every client has direct access to our founder, and every engagement is treated as a partnership, not a transaction.
What We Believe
- Senior engineers don't need babysitting. We only staff engineers with 5+ years of experience who can contribute independently from day one.
- Founder involvement matters. When the person who started the company is directly involved in your engagement, quality doesn't slip.
- Nearshore should feel like in-house. Our engineers work your hours, attend your standups, and use your tools. The timezone advantage of Brazil makes this possible.
- Specialization beats generalization. We focus on AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, and security — areas where deep expertise makes the biggest difference.
- Long-term relationships over short-term contracts. Our best engagements last years, not months. We earn continued business through results.

By the Numbers
Based in Brasília, Brazil
While most Brazilian tech companies are based in São Paulo or Florianópolis, DHD Tech is headquartered in Brasília — Brazil's capital city. Brasília is an emerging tech hub with a growing pool of skilled engineers, world-class universities, and excellent infrastructure. Our location in the capital gives us access to talent across all of Brazil's major tech regions.
Brazil is 1-3 hours ahead of US Eastern Time, providing near-complete overlap with US business hours. Our engineers work when you work — no early morning or late night meetings required.
