Hello, I'm Leo Vicente
Technical Lead & Solutions Architect turning complex geospatial, IoT and SaaS challenges into elegant 3D, data-driven products—now shaping the UAE's Federal Urban Digital Twin.
Building software since I was 15 years old
I began thinkering some college dude's Visual Basic Project of Super Mario on a computer cafe during my high school days. The curiosity grew into hands-on, building real projects.
My story as a Solution Architect
From working on legacy payroll codebases in Manila to leading multi-disciplinary innovation teams in Dubai, my career has been a playground of constant iteration.
I founded a freelance gig during my university years, shipped HR systems, and e-commerce websites for local businesses, and learned the importance of shipping early and often.Master of None, I was a full-stack developer, back in the days where you can still say that you are a full-stack developer by knowing how to Design UI in Photoshop, convert PSD to HTML, and integrate with a backend and database.
After relocating to the UAE, I worked with B2B projects and SaaS platforms. Each projects reinforced my obsession with clarity, fast feedback loops and user-centric design.
Today I split my time between working on with my full-time job related to digital twins, and incubating micro-SaaS ideas that democratise data. I stay laser-focused on delivering tangible impact—because elegant architecture only matters when it brings value to the table.
