Anthony Fernandez

Electronic Engineer · AI Software Engineer · IT Consultant

I help companies integrate AI into their workflows and build the custom software behind it — AI-powered features, web applications, REST APIs and database-backed systems. Trained as an electronic engineer, I bring hardware-grade rigour to every layer of the stack — available for freelance projects and consulting in English or Spanish.

BigShoesSy

Professional project

A full e-commerce platform for a footwear store: Angular 14 storefront backed by a Node.js/Express REST API.

An online store needed a complete customer experience — product catalogue, carts, user profiles and messaging — backed by a secure, structured API.

Stack

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Sequelize
  • MySQL
  • JWT
  • Docker

What I built

  • Angular 14 frontend with product catalogue, carousels, offers, user profiles, carts and contact views

Problem

Small businesses need a lightweight way to let customers schedule, reschedule and manage bookings without a heavyweight booking system.

Stack

  • CSS
  • JavaScript
  • Jotform AI

What I built

  • Responsive booking dashboard with an embedded Jotform AI agent
  • Live booking counter persisted with localStorage
  • Cross-tab count synchronisation via the storage event
