Summary
José Lucena is a Senior Software Developer with about a decade of experience building mission-critical systems across container terminals, foreign trade operations, chemical industry tooling, and a job platform with over a million users. He moves comfortably across full-stack stacks—Python/Django, FastAPI, Laravel, React/Vue—and designs pragmatic microservices and hybrid solutions using non-relational databases, serverless functions, and RPC via Apache Thrift. At companies like AgileEngine and Trust Group he delivered performant, SEO-aware frontends and scalable backend services that became critical to operations and customer adoption. He’s led small teams, onboarded juniors, and combines hands-on coding (tests, Cypress/Jest, Pytest) with cloud ops and budget-aware AWS administration. A proactive self-learner and problem-solver, José brings a customer-oriented, results-driven mindset and an eye for practical trade-offs over perfection. Based in Paraná, Brazil, he’s recently applied prompt engineering and Generative-AI to production chatbots, showing a fast pivot into cutting-edge, domain-specific AI applications.
