Joel Louzado is a founder and product-focused engineer with 11+ years of experience building web and mobile software, now running Ikigage and consulting for Pace Wisdom Solutions from Bengaluru. He moved from hands-on engineering to product leadership—setting up teams, CI/CD and testing frameworks—and has repeatedly turned complex domain problems into pragmatic, minimal-effective-dose technology solutions. As the first product hire at rePurpose Global he shipped B2B-capable platforms that manage millions of kilos of plastic credits and enabled 300+ brands to self-report footprint data, showing a knack for aligning product, operations and global stakeholders. He remains a practical front-end contributor to open source (notably UI improvements to the popular Wekan kanban project), and prefers small, fast experiments that minimize disruption while maximizing learning. Joel’s background in telecom engineering and his mix of architecture, hiring and security experience make him comfortable translating non-technical business problems into measurable engineering outcomes.
