About William

Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer(React · Node.js · AWS) specializing inAI integrationin production.10 yearsdelivering end-to-end web & mobile products; today, I'm placing LLMs at the heart of products to automate business processes.

What I do with AI:
• LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) in your products: assistants, chatbots, agents, content generation
• Natural language assistants: secure text-to-SQL, on-the-fly generated dashboards
• Automation: translation, code/interface generation, data extraction and classification
• Agentic development (Claude Code): deliver more, faster, with quality

Product side:
• Your web or mobile product from A to Z (front, back, cloud)
• Robust and scalable AWS serverless architecture
• Taking over, stabilizing, and scaling an existing application

My reference — Gayakoa (Event SaaS):I designed and evolved the complete platform (700+ events, 600,000+ users). On the AI side: 'Maya', a natural language assistant that generates secure SQL queries and visualizations on the fly (Claude API, tool use, streaming), plus multilingual translation and LLM-powered UI generation. Platform: AWS serverless (~500 endpoints), real-time (WebSockets, streaming), 40,000+ invoices / €7M+, facial recognition, Stripe / SumUp payments.

My stack:
• AI — LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), API integration, agents, RAG, prompt engineering, Vercel AI SDK
• Front — React, React Native, TypeScript
• Back — Node.js, REST API, serverless
• Cloud — AWS (Lambda, API Gateway), CI/CD
