# Vlad Palacio > Full-Stack Developer & AI Builder. Based in Montreal, QC. [Portfolio](https://vladpalacio.com/) Full-stack developer and AI builder with 7+ years of experience. I ship AI-powered products — from SaaS platforms to creative tools — using React, Next.js, and cutting-edge AI APIs. Based in Montreal. I don't just build websites. I build AI-powered products. - 15+ Products Shipped - 7+ Years Building ## About me ### Builder at heart. Always be shipping. I’ve been building products from the ground up for over five years — first at PBSC (acquired by Lyft), then at Cloudraker building agency work. Late 2024 I went all-in on AI. Since then I’ve launched 15+ products wired into OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, Fal.ai, and ElevenLabs. I’m a tinkerer first. I chase new models, agents, and automation the week they drop — then I get my hands dirty and turn them into something people actually use. Product sense without shipping is just opinion. I like both. I'm the kind of developer who builds side projects that turn into real products. Not for the resume — because I can't stop building. If there's an API, I'll find a way to turn it into something useful. ## Services — From idea to production ### AI Integration I connect your product to AI. OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, Fal.ai, ElevenLabs — I've shipped production apps with all of them. From image generation to NLP to text-to-speech. Tools and skills: OpenAI, Replicate, Fal.ai, ElevenLabs, Anthropic. ### Full-Stack SaaS From database schema to payment processing to deployment. I build complete SaaS products with Next.js, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and Vercel. Production-grade, scalable, and ready to ship. Tools and skills: Next.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Stripe, Vercel. ### Front-End Engineering Pixel-perfect, performant interfaces. React and TypeScript are my bread and butter — 7+ years of building UIs that users love. From enterprise dashboards to consumer apps. Tools and skills: React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Responsive, A11y. ### Vibe-coded your app? I'll ship it. You built something with Cursor, Bolt, or Lovable — now you need a dev who's shipped 15+ products to handle deployment, databases, payments, and everything that makes it real. ## Technology stack — Tools of the trade React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, TailwindCSS, Docker, AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Replicate, Fal.ai, ElevenLabs, Stripe, Angular, React Native, Python, Whisper AI.
