Vlad Palacio
Full-Stack Developer & AI Builder
I don't just build websites. I build AI-powered products. 15+ shipped products integrating OpenAI, Replicate, Fal.ai, and more. Based in Montreal.
Builder at heart.
Obsessed with shipping.
For over seven years, I've been shipping web applications — first at PBSC (acquired by Lyft), then at Cloudraker building agency projects. Since late 2024, I've gone all-in on AI, launching 15+ products that integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, Fal.ai, and ElevenLabs. My latest project, ProntoShoot, is a full-stack AI product photography platform serving e-commerce sellers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
