Bill Gufran
Software Engineer
I’m Bill — I build experience on the web. Frontend is my playground, where performance, design, and usability all come together.
While my work centers on the frontend, I take a full-stack approach when needed — building APIs, working with databases, and ensuring the pieces behind the scenes run just as smoothly. I’ve also have good time experimenting with AI. Building tools powered by LLM, or just tinkering with prompts and agents to see what’s possible.
I love learning new technologies, solving challenging problems, and using em-dashes in my sentences.
