Liandre John de Castro — Tech Lead. Architecting Magnolia CMS and cloud platforms for global brands, from system design to delivery.

I’m Liandre. For 6+ years I’ve built enterprise digital platforms with Java, Next.js, AWS, and Magnolia CMS for global pharmaceutical and consumer health brands. I lead 7 engineers, own platform architecture end to end as a full-stack Tech Lead, and apply AI engineering — Claude Code, ChatGPT, and prompt/context engineering — to raise delivery speed and code quality across the team.

What I Do

From product idea to production-ready platform.

I work across the stack, but my strongest value is connecting architecture, implementation, performance, and delivery into one clear technical path.

Full-Stack Web Applications

Websites engineered to win the search, not just look good — ranking in Google and AI answer engines through SEO and GEO, then fast enough to convert the moment customers land.

Backend Systems & API Architecture

Backend systems that plug into your CRM and marketing stack — reliable APIs and integrations that keep every customer record in sync, built in Java, Spring, Node.js, and SQL patterns.

AI Engineering & Agentic Workflows

Ship production work faster with Claude Code, ChatGPT, and Gemini, using prompt and context engineering plus agentic and MCP-based workflows to raise delivery speed and code quality.

Cloud Deployments & DevOps

Ship reliable workloads across AWS and Azure using Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, and GitHub Actions CI/CD — with repeatable deployment practices that keep environments consistent.

Concept Builds

Your product idea has a head start here.

Four live sites across marketing, booking, and e-commerce — each built to production standards and shipped fast with an AI-assisted workflow. Find the one closest to what you need, and let’s start there.

How I Work

Clear decisions. Strong foundations. Measurable outcomes.

I bring a Tech Lead mindset to both focused builds and complex platforms. I start by clarifying the real business problem, then shape a solution that is understandable, maintainable, and realistic to deliver.

That means balancing speed with long-term quality: choosing reusable patterns where they matter, keeping unnecessary complexity out, validating decisions through working software, and using measurable results to guide the next improvement.

  1. 01

    Frame the real problem

    Clarify the user need, delivery constraints, business value, and the technical risks worth solving first.

  2. 02

    Design for reuse and scale

    Choose patterns that remove duplicate work across teams, markets, or future features instead of optimizing only for today.

  3. 03

    Ship in visible increments

    Turn architecture into working software early — using AI-assisted workflows to move faster without cutting corners — so stakeholders can validate direction before complexity compounds.

  4. 04

    Measure and improve

    Use performance, adoption, cost, reliability, and delivery metrics to guide what gets optimized next.
