About william

I build AI-powered automations and full-stack systems that remove busywork and grow revenue. At Media Made Fresh I ship custom WordPress apps, Python and N8N workflows, and data-driven SEO that lifted one client’s organic traffic by 90% and automated 100+ hours per month. My expertise spans Python, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, React, MySQL, Docker, Azure, and GA4. I love turning fuzzy processes into reliable pipelines that scale, and I’m interested in collaborations around AI agents, on-prem or cloud workflows, and measurable growth.
