David Joao David Joao, AI and automation Product Engineer in Évreux, Normandy and Paris

Évreux · Normandy · Paris

I turn ideas and business processes into smart, automated, production-ready digital products.

You're not looking for one more tool. You're looking for someone who understands the problem, designs the solution, connects your systems and delivers a product that runs.

You are:

Where are things stuck today?

Tick what you're dealing with. I'll tell you what I would build.

Ten steps. One point of contact.

The full chain, from idea to live product. Every step produces a concrete deliverable.

The method in detail
  1. 01

    Idea

    We start from the business problem: who uses it, what costs time, what needs to change.

    UX/UI

    User journeys, key screens and a clickable prototype, approved before a single line of code.

The proof: systems that run.

Four reference systems to try out with sample data. Each one has its case study: problem, architecture, features, role.

AI qualification agent

Problem
Incoming requests arrive in a jumble and wait days for a reply.
System
The form triggers n8n, Claude analyses and scores the request, drafts a reply and creates the CRM record.
Stack
n8n, Claude, Supabase, webhooks

Automation workflow

Problem
Invoices, reminders and notifications handled by hand, every week.
System
Trigger, filters, database, AI and notifications chained in a workflow that runs on its own.
Stack
n8n, REST API, Supabase, Claude

Client portal with roles

Problem
Clients and teams communicate by email, WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Nobody knows where a request stands.
System
A portal with authentication, roles, request tracking and automatic notifications.
Stack
Supabase Auth, RLS, n8n, Vercel

Connected dashboard

Problem
The figures sit in five different tools and nobody has the full picture.
System
A dashboard wired to Supabase and your APIs, continuously up to date.
Stack
Supabase, REST API, n8n, Vercel

      A stack chosen to ship fast and clean.

      Grouped by layer, from the interface down to the server.

      • Interface UX/UI, product prototyping, Lovable
      • Intelligence Claude, ChatGPT, Codex
      • Automation n8n
      • Integrations REST API, webhooks
      • Data Supabase: database, auth, storage
      • Delivery GitHub
      • Infrastructure Vercel, Hostinger, OVH, VPS

      AI-assisted engineering. Claude Code, Codex and Lovable to design and code faster, Higgsfield for visual creation.

      I think product, I write the code, I connect the systems.

      A Product Engineer specialising in AI and automation, I work across the whole cycle: scoping, UX/UI, frontend, backend, database, authentication, APIs, automated workflows, AI features and deployment.

      Based in Évreux, Normandy, an hour from Paris, I work with SMEs, startups and teams on site in Normandy and Île-de-France, and remotely anywhere in France.

      I use Claude Code, Codex and Lovable to speed up engineering, never to replace thinking. What interests me: turning a complex idea into a simple tool that saves time, gives structure to an activity or automates a high-value task.

      Precise
      I show what is built, and why.
      Clear
      Technology explained without needless jargon.
      Results-driven
      The business problem comes before the tool.
      Transparent
      I separate what I have mastered, what I am experimenting with and what I am learning.

      I also run two digital agencies: Abraccio Studio in Luanda and Daelio in France.
