// who, what, why
Elie Serge Tannous
User Journey Specialist and E-Commerce Professional with a decade of customer-experience work across retail, fintech, and grocery. Over the last two years I turned that operational instinct into hands-on AI engineering, shipping Claude- and OpenAI-powered systems on top of full-stack platforms I architect and code myself.
// two pillars, one engineer (click to expand)
// how I work
Operational reality first
If the people who use it can't trust it, the model doesn't matter.
Governance over autonomy
AI proposes, humans confirm. No silent overwrites, ever.
UX for operators
Internal tools deserve the same craft as customer-facing ones.
Read before you write
Read the data and the journey before writing the code.
