Who is
Luciana Santos?

Hey, I’m Luciana.

I’m a software engineering leader with 18 years in tech and a performance expert focused on optimizing how neurodivergent tech professionals operate in high-stakes environments.

For seven years, I led engineering teams through aggressive deadlines and constant pivots inside high-pressure organizations. Being neurodivergent myself, every success came with an invisible cognitive cost. One I’ve always felt instinctively compelled to reverse-engineer.

What began as survival became expertise:

Over time, I built a high-performance playbook with a neurodivergent toolkit baked in: mapped patterns, frameworks, and protocols that improved performance without sacrificing well-being.

Today, I help neurodivergent tech leaders achieve sustainable, aligned performance by:
Mapping the invisible interface between their nervous system and technical performance
Debugging what drives the disconnect between external success and internal experience
Providing personalized protocols to maintain performance and alignment in high-pressure environments

If you’re a neurodivergent leader in tech looking to discover your own toolkit for performance and well-being: let’s talk.
