Fernando Maluf
Systems-minded engineer with a finance background, combining low-level performance optimization with product intuition. I build AI-powered tools and obsess over efficiency — whether in code, workflows, or user experience.

About Me
Full-stack developer with years of experience across finance, data engineering, and AI. Recent projects include four SaaS products, one of which scaled to 30,000+ monthly active users and generates consistent revenue.
I specialize in end-to-end development. From architecting systems and building AI pipelines to designing interfaces and deploying infrastructure, I manage the complete product lifecycle autonomously.
My background in finance and data engineering allows me to bridge the gap between technical execution and core business objectives.
