DRAWING SL‑2026Systems & full-stack engineering
Simon Laborde
Backend & full-stack engineer building AI features that are checked before they ship: evals, guardrails and grounded answers.
I bridge the gap between complex systems and the people who depend on them — currently building LLM-backed tools.

Journey
One throughline: learning how systems behave, then making them serve real needs — from physics engines to research infrastructure.
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 a website for pop-art painter Rogério Freire. Additional client work under NDA.
2020 — 2025
B.Sc. Information Systems
UNIFACISA — Campina Grande
Thesis — “MedHelp: Sistema de Apoio à Decisão Clínica para Recomendações de Exames Preventivos com Processamento de Linguagem Natural” [translation: “MedHelp: A Clinical Decision Support System for Preventive Exam Recommendations Using Natural Language Processing”] — natural language processing (NLP) for clinical decision support, graded 10/10, the maximum grade, and the seed of the MedHelp project.
2022 — 2023
Custom Software Engineer
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.
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.

05 · bilingual research platform
LABNOV
Site bilíngue para o laboratório de pesquisa LABNOV, com sincronização automática de publicações a partir da Plataforma Lattes e edição de conteúdo via Sanity CMS para a equipe não-técnica.
O toggle acima é o mesmo componente do site real.
06 · enterprise backend, Accenture
Enterprise Billing Optimization
Backend performance and reporting-automation work on an enterprise billing platform — profiling and tuning batch processes and replacing manual reporting steps with scripted pipelines.
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.
01
Plataforma Lattes
Brazil's academic-CV registry. No public API; the export is CAPTCHA-gated.
02
reCAPTCHA checkpoint
Can't be automated. The pipeline pauses for one human click, then runs unattended.
manual step03
Parser
Pulls publications from the export; normalises authors, venues and years.
04
Diff
Compares against the CMS — new papers in, nothing duplicated or dropped.
05
Sanity CMS
Only the changes are written, into the schema staff already edit by hand.
06
LABNOV site
New publications show within a sync cycle. Nobody maintains the list.
Languages
Multilingual and Europe-bound — measured on the CEFR scale, read like a signal meter.
