Luciano Fontana
@lucianofontana
Full-stack developer and technology consultant delivering end-to-end CRM, APIs, automation, and applied AI solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack developer and technology consultant with more than 20 years of experience across software engineering, data, automation and infrastructure. I design and deliver web products end to end, from functional discovery and architecture through development, integration, deployment and ongoing support. My main areas of expertise are CRM platforms, transactional portals, APIs, WhatsApp solutions, web security and performance, data processing and AI-assisted automation.
As Founder / Full-Stack Developer / Technology Consultant at DS&R, I design and develop custom enterprise web applications using a proprietary PHP framework with MVC architecture, MySQL/MariaDB and responsive front ends. I own discovery, scope definition, estimation, commercial proposals, architecture, development, deployment and ongoing support, and I build REST APIs and integrations with third-party systems (including WhatsApp, Zoho Desk and payment platforms) while administering web infrastructure such as Apache/Nginx, domains, DNS, SSL, email services, backups and scheduled jobs. I combine security and performance reviews with practical infrastructure administration, and I implement LLM-powered workflows with human-in-the-loop validation, plus clear documentation and training for clients and technical teams.
