✳︎ AI Engineer & Developer ·︎ Curitiba/PR - Brazil

Leandro Furtado

Leandro Furtado

I spent ten years directing art. Now I build the systems.

I write Python, FastAPI and SQL, integrate language models into production workflows and ship: server, deploy and automated tests included. I maintain three SaaS systems built from scratch, one of them open to the public with no sign-up, featuring a process pipeline, business rules, multi-level approval and a full audit trail.

The platform hosting them is mine as well: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, SQLite, Docker and nginx on a VPS, with over 800 automated tests. In applied AI I work with what survives production: prompt engineering documented and versioned, constraints the model actually respects, and a record of what fails.

The previous ten years in art direction, with Coca-Cola, Bradesco, Klabin, Cielo and Caixa, are not a closed chapter: they are the reason I build products people can actually use.
