About

Lourenço brings over 9 years of experience as a full-stack engineer and two-time co-founder, building user-first products across AI, Web3 and marketplaces.

As Tech Lead at Altar.io, he builds MVPs for VC-backed founders and maintains Seed, the skeleton every client project starts from, with authentication, access control, CI/CD and cloud infrastructure already wired in. He co-founded Lurky.app, which transcribes and retrieves information from thousands of podcasts serving that data via API and LLM, and Stashh Labs, a marketplace for Web3 products. As a freelancer, he built a video analyzer for law firms at Proplaintiff.ai and delivered creator payment solutions and short-form video analysis tools for Shortimize.
