Senior Software Engineer
Hi, I’m
Luciano Palhares
Full Stack Development & AI Engineering
I build robust applications from the ground up with scalable architecture. My application support experience spans nearly five years, all of it on a single team. My experience includes payment API integrations, such as those with Asaas and banks, webhook processing, billing through the Conta Azul API, product and pricing integrations for B2B e-commerce, systems for health and psychology, E-learning platforms, and end-to-end parcel forwarding workflows. In a project for a real estate developer, I helped build an application from the ground up with scalable architecture based on DDD and Clean Architecture, and I was responsible for the receivables area. I have experience taking AI integrations to production, implementing evaluation pipelines to validate prompt and model changes, and using observability to monitor real applications.
