Who is
Luciana Santos?
Hey, I’m Luciana.
I'm a software engineering leader with 17 years in tech and a cognitive performance strategist specialized in optimizing how tech professionals' brains function in high-stakes environments.
For 7 years, I led engineering teams through aggressive deadlines and constant pivots at high-pressure organizations.
Each success came with a cognitive cost I couldn't see until it was too late.
What began as survival became expertise:
I learned to engineer the interface between my nervous system and my technical work, discovering patterns and protocols that transformed my performance without sacrificing well-being.
Today, I help high-performing tech professionals achieve sustainable cognitive excellence by:
→ Mapping the invisible architecture between their nervous system and technical performance
→ Debugging the system-level issues causing disconnect between external success and internal experience
→ Engineering personalized protocols for maintaining cognitive performance in high-pressure environments
This isn't productivity advice.
It's cognitive performance engineering for your most valuable technical asset: your brain.
Debug your career. Redesign your work.
