AI-powered software from Northeast Ohio
I'm Rob Palomo. I use AI and modern engineering practices to deliver quality software faster, backed by 20+ years in industries where mistakes are expensive: defense, aviation, manufacturing and IoT. I build the apps and tools businesses run on, add AI to the products they already have, and help software teams ship faster with fewer bugs. I take on a limited number of projects at a time, so each one gets my full attention.

Part of your business runs on spreadsheets, email and copy-paste.
How I helpYou have an idea for an app, but no one technical to build it.
How I helpYou keep hearing about AI, but you're not sure what it could do for your business.
How I helpAn old system runs the business, and only one person understands it.
How I helpEvery release is a scramble, and bugs keep reaching your customers.
How I helpYour developers have AI tools, but things aren't moving any faster.
How I helpWeb apps & MVPs
A working product without hiring a full team.
AI features
Put AI to work inside the software you use every day.
Legacy modernization
A modern replacement for the old tool your business depends on.
Test automation & CI/CD
Quality is a feature. Tests are what let a team move fast without fear.

AI-powered development
I use AI at every stage of the work: planning, building, reviewing and releasing, with the same process every time. Predictability is the key: the same steps give the same quality, from people and from AI. With the same team, it roughly halved delivery time.
Work that used to take a week now takes about two days. Features that took two to three weeks ship in 7–10 days. Small changes take minutes instead of hours.
AI writes code fast, so the checks have to be automatic. Every change runs the full test suite, and AI reviews each one before I do. Nothing ships on trust alone.
Each change moves from plan to build, review and release through automated steps. Work is checked as it's written, and scheduled checks run the tests and report problems on their own.
AI can do real work inside your app. My golf app turns a photo of a scorecard into scores in seconds.
Every AI-assisted line is reviewed, tested and owned by me.
Security and compliance software for the aviation industry.
Software developed, tested and deployed on highly secure networks at Lockheed Martin.
Full-mission F-35 simulators, across air vehicle, mission systems, infrastructure and formal test.
A next-generation neutron detector system at GE, and connected devices tested on real hardware at Landi Industries.
Projects I've led for clients, and one I built on my own.

Send a short description. I'll reply within two business days with questions or next steps, and if it looks like a good fit, we'll set up a call.
A written plan with clear deliverables, a timeline and a price before any work starts.
Working software early and often, with demos, so you see progress and can steer.
You own the code, delivered with tests, automated deployments and documentation.
I'm Rob Palomo, a lead software engineer in Northeast Ohio with more than 20 years of building production software: F-35 flight simulators at Lockheed Martin, neutron detector systems at GE, connected devices at Landi Industries, engineering tools at Bridgestone, and most recently an aviation security and compliance platform at AirTera.
I'm a leader who stays in the code. I lead by example, raise the quality bar and learn what makes each person on a team great. One senior engineer I mentored had never written an automated click-through test. He became a strong Playwright practitioner and took that skill to a better-paying job.
Palomo Full Stack Tech is my independent practice. I take on a limited number of projects at a time and lead each one personally, from the first call to hand-off.
Outside of client work, I'm a golfer (I built my own league app), passionate about fitness of all kinds, and always tinkering with new tech.
No. Tell me what you're trying to get done, and I'll handle the technical side and explain choices in plain terms when there's one to make.
Yes, at every stage, because it gets you quality software faster. Every line it helps write is reviewed and tested by me before it reaches you.
Every project starts with a written plan and a fixed estimate, so you know the price before any work begins.
Usually, yes. Most projects connect to tools a business already uses, and modernizing older systems is a big part of what I do.
Email for day-to-day questions, and a text or a phone call whenever that's quicker.
You do. It's delivered with tests, automated deployments and documentation, so you're never locked in to me.
That's something we work out together. Every product is different, so support and maintenance depend on what yours needs, and we'll agree on terms that fit.
Tell me what you're building or what's slowing your team down. I reply within two business days.
