Hi there, I'm William Watts 👋

AI & Backend Engineer | Specialized in Agentic Orchestration & High-Performance Backends

I am a Software Engineer focused on the intersection of Modern LLM Orchestration and Asynchronous Backend Infrastructure. My work focuses on building application layers that transform unstructured data into high-precision knowledge bases. To ensure production readiness, I use test-driven development for system reliability and optimize token usage to minimize LLM runtime costs.


🌟 Featured Project

PDF Intelligence RAG

PDF Intelligence RAG Engine A scalable RAG pipeline featuring stateful conversational memory, NLU-driven query expansion, and automated evaluation suites.


💻 Core AI & Backend Stack


🛠️ Expanded Technical Toolkit

AI / Machine Learning / NLP

  • Frameworks: LangChain, HuggingFace Transformers
  • Vector Databases: FAISS
  • Models & Local Inference: Ollama, Llama 3.3, Sentence-Transformers
  • LLMOps & Observability: Langfuse v3 (Application Tracing & Evaluation)
  • Concepts: Agentic RAG, Chain-of-Thought (CoT), Prompt Chaining, Semantic Search

Backend Engineering

  • Languages: Python, SQL, C/C++, Java
  • APIs & Frameworks: FastAPI (Async/Await), RESTful Design, Pydantic
  • Data Stores: MySQL, MongoDB
  • Cloud & DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD Pipelines

Engineering Methodologies

  • AI Evaluation & Quality Assurance: Test-Driven Development (TDD), RAG Faithfulness & Relevancy Benchmarking, Automated Evaluation Suites via pytest, Asynchronous Logic Verification (httpx).
  • System Design: Architectural Hygiene, Asynchronous Non-Blocking I/O, Persistent Resource Management (Docker Volume Optimization).

🌱 About Me

  • Engineering Philosophy: I am a Documentation-First developer who practices Test-Driven AI Development. I maintain a "Second Brain" in Obsidian and believe that if a system isn't documented or tested, it isn't finished—I treat technical notes, READMEs, and automated evaluation suites with the same precision as the source code.
  • Fuel Source: My code is almost exclusively powered by italiano espresso roast coffee and an unhealthy amount of technical curiosity.
  • 🐾 The Hot Take: I am a staunch Cat Enthusiast 🐱. While I respect the loyalty of dogs, I'd prefer the quiet, independent judgment of a cat watching me debug code for three hours.
