James Pacileo is an applied AI engineer and senior software engineer based in London with over a decade of experience designing and shipping production systems across insurance, healthcare, and consumer platforms. He blends hands-on AI and full-stack development with solution architecture, having led migrations from monoliths to event-driven microservices, engineered cost-saving serverless pipelines, and built GIS- and data-driven MVPs for global insurers. Currently contributing to AI initiatives at AstraZeneca while running his consultancy Abstract Meld, he has a track record of turning complex spreadsheets and legacy systems into scalable, testable software. James also founded the long-running London Django Meetup, reflecting a commitment to community and pragmatic web engineering. An unexpected thread through his career is savvy reverse engineering of private APIs and anti-scraping techniques, which he has used to deliver reliable data products without ballooning infrastructure costs.
