Aquarius Maximus – AI Engineer & Full‑Stack Developer

AI ENGINEER · FULL‑STACK DEVELOPER

Designing and shipping AI‑native products end‑to‑end.

From LLM systems design to production‑ready web apps, I help teams turn vision into deployed, measurable products.

I specialize in AI‑driven product experiences – architecting LLM workflows, building full‑stack web applications, and iterating quickly with real users. My work spans SaaS, marketplaces, and experimental social platforms.

Below is a selection of live projects across AI, marketplaces, brand sites, and experimental apps — all deployed to production and optimized for fast iteration.

How I build AI‑native products

Practical systems that turn large language models into reliable features users actually value.

End‑to‑end AI systems design

I treat LLMs as one component in a larger system. That means designing clear interfaces, safety rails, and feedback loops around model calls — from retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) to multi‑step tool‑using agents. I favor composable prompts, schema‑driven tooling, and high‑signal telemetry over brittle integrations.

On the infrastructure side, I prefer TypeScript‑first backends (Next.js / Node) with vector stores, queueing, and serverless functions where they make sense — shipped to providers like Vercel, Netlify, or custom cloud setups depending on the project.

Core toolkit

· Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
· Backend: Node/TypeScript APIs, serverless functions
· AI: LLM APIs, RAG, vector search, tool‑using agents
· Models: Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI)
· IDEs: Cursor, Windsor, and good old Terminal :-)
· Infra: Vercel, Netlify, CI/CD, observability tooling

ABOUT

A builder comfortable at every layer of the stack.

I move comfortably between product thinking, systems design, and implementation. Whether it's an AI‑powered SaaS, a brand site, or an internal tool, I prioritize crisp UX, reliable infrastructure, and a code base that future contributors will actually enjoy working in.

This portfolio highlights shipped work — not just prototypes. Every project above represents real users, real constraints, and real iteration cycles, which is where I do my best work.

COLLABORATION

Let’s build your next AI‑native product.

Available for select collaborations, advisory, and hands‑on engineering.

Share a bit about your product, where it is today, and what you want AI to unlock — I can help design and ship the path from idea to production.
