Daniel Quaresma Afonso.Founder, LukGud.

I am Daniel Quaresma Afonso, founder of LukGud. I trained in design, engineering and writing, and I apply all three to every project, across four areas: Software, AI, Web and Consulting.

I studied and trained across several technical disciplines. I spent years learning to code, to design, to write. In 2025, I realized that generative AI models had reached a point where execution speed was no longer the bottleneck — the bottleneck was taste, curation, and decision-making. And those I had cultivated my whole life.

I don't sell AI — I sell curation.

I publish the price, or the minimum, of every offer, and each proposal fixes the scope, the timeline and the price before work starts. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted in writing, as a fixed amount, before it starts.

The technical stack is modern but not experimental. Next.js 14+ App Router with TypeScript for all applications; Tailwind CSS for styling; Framer Motion and GSAP for animations; Sanity or Payload as CMS; Supabase or Vercel Postgres for database when applicable.

I use AI tools to speed up the mechanical part of the work, and I personally review every architecture, design and product decision. I never enter personal data you entrust to me into those tools. The AI I implement for clients is a separate offer, with its own pages.

Every project has written acceptance criteria. Performance is measured with Lighthouse, a website auditing tool. Accessibility follows the international WCAG 2.2 guidelines, level AA, on the elements I build. In software projects, the critical paths have automated tests.
