Luis Daniel Pambid
Software and Automation Engineer
Sole software engineer for a US managed service provider, where one seat holds a whole delivery function: scoping and estimate through build, deployment and handover. As much of the work is inherited as green-field — decade-old production systems taken over from the engineer who left, enterprise platforms merged into new tenants, automations nobody had documented. Alongside that, the company's internal automation platform on Azure and the applied LLM systems that run on it.
Based in the Philippines and working US Pacific hours. Licensed Electronics Engineer and Electronics Technician, CCNP Enterprise certified, and I ran a registered software studio alongside the full-time role until September 2026.
The systems themselves stay behind an NDA, so this site publishes the capability and the figure rather than the engagement. Ask me in a conversation and I will walk you through any of it in the detail the agreement allows.

Questions
What people ask first
The questions recruiters and hiring managers open with, answered here rather than only in the chat.
What are you looking for?
Open to software engineering, forward deployed and applied AI roles, remote. The seat I do best is the one where the systems already exist, already run in production, and usually are not documented.
When could you start?
Immediately. There is no notice period to serve on my current engagement, so the start date is whatever your process allows rather than a month spent waiting it out. Hours are US Pacific from UTC+8, which has been the schedule since 2024.
Employee, contractor, or through an employer of record?
Any of the three, as long as the seat is full time. Most US and UK companies cannot put someone in the Philippines on their own payroll, so an employer of record is usually the practical route and I am comfortable with it. A full-time contract works the same way. Full time is the part that matters to me.
What is your rate or salary expectation?
I keep that off the public record and talk about it in the first conversation instead. Tell me the band the role carries and I will tell you straight away whether it works. I am willing to negotiate within a budget, and I would rather neither of us anchored on a number before we know what the seat actually is.
What is your work authorisation, and would you relocate?
Philippine citizen, authorised to work here, holding no US or UK visa today. Remote is the default and what I am set up for. For a sponsored role in the US or the UK, relocation is on the table and I will go through the process.
What does your current role actually cover?
I am the sole software engineer at a US managed service provider, so one seat holds the whole delivery function: scoping and estimating, building, deploying and handing over. About 1,310 hours across 45 organizations since 2024.
Why is there no portfolio of projects?
Because the work is covered by agreements I intend to keep. What I publish is the capability and the figure behind it. In a conversation I can go as deep as the agreement allows, and that is usually deep enough.
Then how do I judge the work?
By the numbers on the skills page, which are counted rather than estimated, and by talking to me. Hand me a system you already run and ask how I would take it over — that tells you more than a screenshot would.
You are in the Philippines. How does the timezone work?
I work US Pacific hours from UTC+8 and have done since 2024. 335 of 1,240 logged time entries start outside 08:00 to 18:00 Pacific or on a weekend, so the overlap is not theoretical.
How much of this is AI work?
A real share, and it is named as systems rather than as a title: AI ticket intelligence over a live PSA, a retrieval layer behind an internal assistant, a tool-calling Teams agent, and an MCP server forked and extended for company-wide use. AI-assisted development is a separate thing and I keep the two apart.
What is the biggest thing you have shipped?
By scale, moving 83,722 Jira issues into a 2,000-seat enterprise tenant in one production cutover, after four sandbox runs, two of them full rehearsals. By reach, the Azure platform every internal AI and integration system at the company runs on.
Where do the numbers on this site come from?
A knowledge vault built from the systems of record themselves: the PSA, migration reports, repositories, platform execution logs. This site is written from it by hand, with everything identifying stripped out, so a figure here is the same figure the source returned.
Do you write documentation?
Yes, and it is one of the strongest parts of the record: 36 pages in a company knowledge base at a September 2026 reading, drawing 4,388 views, a deployment guide authored across 79 of its 80 versions, and read-only vaults built so the next engineer can pick up a system nobody wrote down.
What about the Cisco certifications?
CCNP Enterprise and two specialist certificates, earned in 2023. They are real and they expire in November 2026. Network engineering is no longer the target seat, so what carried over is the Python automation, the change control and the production-estate discipline, not the protocols.
Can I see code?
Current work sits in private repositories and stays there. Older personal repositories are public on GitHub, and they are personal and academic projects rather than a sample of current practice.
Do you still freelance?
I ran a registered software studio alongside the full-time role until September 2026, and it is on the About page. It is not a competing commitment now, and I am happy to talk through what it covered.
How do I get in touch?
The Contact page, or LinkedIn. Replies usually come within a day.
