Summary
Marcelo Soares is a Lead Backend Engineer and Automation & AI Architect with nine years building scalable APIs, microservices, and SaaS platforms using C#, .NET, PHP (Laravel) and clean architecture principles. He blends hands-on engineering with product-minded leadership, driving AI-first architecture and no-code integrations (MCP, LLaMA, A2A agents, n8n) to automate workflows and reduce operational overhead. As a founder he shipped end-to-end MVPs and long-running platforms—launching a local services marketplace in 90 days and operating a high-availability digital publishing CMS for seven years. His background in public health dashboards and ETL work demonstrates strong data-first thinking and operational rigor, while recent work focuses on embedding LLMs and smart APIs to add tangible product value. Based in Surrey, BC, he is equally comfortable optimizing cloud infrastructure on GCP or sketching product-level automation that bridges people, systems, and data.
