DRAWING SL‑2026Systems & full-stack engineering

Simon Laborde

Backend & full-stack engineer with an AI / LLM focus, built on a foundation in enterprise backend systems and full-stack development.

I bridge the gap between complex systems and the people who depend on them — currently building LLM-backed tools, taking freelance and contract work across Europe, and applying to master’s programs.

Journey

One throughline: learning how systems behave, then making them serve real needs — from physics engines to research infrastructure.

  1. 2024 — present

    Freelance Software Development

    Independent — remote

    Built LABNOV's bilingual site for a UFCG materials-research lab — a Sanity CMS content model for its non-technical staff and an automated publication pipeline off Brazil's Plataforma Lattes — and NutriQuest, a gamified nutrition-tracking app. Additional client work under NDA.

  2. 2020 — 2025

    B.Sc. Information Systems

    UNIFACISA — Campina Grande

    Thesis — “Applications of Generative AI in Clinical Decision Support” — defended with distinction, and the seed of the MedHelp project.

  3. 2022 — 2023

    Software Developer

    Accenture

    Optimized billing and backend processes on Oracle BRM with C and shell scripting; automated financial reporting through Oracle BI Publisher inside an Agile delivery team.

  4. 2018 — 2020

    Game development foundation

    UNIFACISA

    Interactive systems design, C# gameplay logic, and physics-engine work — where the instinct for how systems move and break first took hold.

Technical arsenal

Read as a legend, not a tag cloud — grouped by the layer of the system each part touches.

Detail 04.1 — LABNOV

The Lattes sync pipeline

A close-up on one part of the LABNOV build: keeping a research lab's publication list current, automatically, past an obstacle that rules out full automation.

  1. 01

    Plataforma Lattes

    Brazil's academic-CV registry. No public API; the export is CAPTCHA-gated.

  2. 02

    reCAPTCHA checkpoint

    Can't be automated. The pipeline pauses for one human click, then runs unattended.

    manual step
  3. 03

    Parser

    Pulls publications from the export; normalises authors, venues and years.

  4. 04

    Diff

    Compares against the CMS — new papers in, nothing duplicated or dropped.

  5. 05

    Sanity CMS

    Only the changes are written, into the schema staff already edit by hand.

  6. 06

    LABNOV site

    New publications show within a sync cycle. Nobody maintains the list.

Problem
A public publication list that drifts out of date the moment someone forgets to update it.
Approach
Automate everything except the one step that can't be — and make that step a single click, not a chore.
Result
A near-zero-maintenance list that stays honest to the source of record.

Languages

Multilingual and Europe-bound — measured on the CEFR scale, read like a signal meter.
