Hey! I'm David Elias Palacio
Full Stack AI Engineer building scalable, AI-powered products & agentic systems
About Me
Full Stack AI Engineer with 3+ years of experience shipping scalable, production-grade web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript and Node.js.
I design and ship full-stack products end-to-end — from frontend interfaces to backend APIs and database layers — with a strong focus on integrating agentic systems and LLM-powered workflows that orchestrate tool use, data retrieval and business logic.
I'm comfortable across the stack — from API and third-party integrations, to n8n, automation workflows with n8n, smart contract integrations and AI-powered internal tools.
