Marco Julio Lopes
Software engineer & architect in Denver — remote-first, open to hybrid. I turn messy requirements and legacy platforms into secure, shippable systems — TypeScript, Go, Rust, cloud and AI workflows.

§ 01 — what I do
Three things, done properly.
A
Architecture
Multi-tenant SaaS, data boundaries, security and cost — drawn before they're built.
B
Full-stack builds
TypeScript, Go and Rust products shipped end to end, from schema to UI.
C
AI & systems
Agent workflows, ML pipelines and low-level systems like the Karnelian kernel.

§ 03 — a bit about me
Calgary-raised, Denver-based.
Portuguese-Canadian, building software since I was a teenager. Off the clock I make music as EXVRT, write as Tomas Quaid, cook things too spicy for most people and ride an electric unicycle with my dog Kysely supervising.
