I'm Lucas Lopes, a software engineer building AI agents and Digital Twins for the offshore energy industry. I care about taking complex systems and making them simple to use.

Experience

Dec 2021 - Present

Software Engineer

PhDsoft

  • Leading the agentic interface for the Web Digital Twin, the platform behind our work with Petrobras, the largest company in Latin America, MODEC and Shell. The AI agent becomes the main way people use it, from finding answers in engineering documents to operating the system in plain language.
  • Moved how we host our services to containers orchestrated on Azure, cutting hosting costs and giving us the freedom to scale each service as demand changes.
  • Led the migration to MongoDB, significantly reducing costs while making critical queries faster and the data layer simpler.
  • Built real-time 3D views with Three.js so teams can monitor offshore rigs straight from the browser.

About Me

Most of my attention right now goes to one question: what changes when you can simply talk to complex software? I'm leading the work on our agentic interface, where the AI agent sits at the center of the product instead of being a feature on the side.

That work has taken me past just writing code. More and more of it is deciding what's worth building, shaping how the agent should behave, and making sure it holds up for the engineers who rely on it.

What I care about most is building things people actually use. Given the choice, I'll ship something useful over something impressive.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
