Python developer behind FlowAI, a deployed SaaS platform automating WhatsApp customer communication and business workflows.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I built and deployed FlowAI, a SaaS platform that automates customer communication, appointments, and business workflows through WhatsApp.
For FlowAI, I developed Python and Flask backend functionality, integrated LLM APIs for context-aware responses, and implemented WhatsApp messaging and webhook workflows.
I also integrated Safaricom Daraja/M-Pesa payments and deployed FlowAI to the cloud. My business experience in retail, farming, and a family timber and hardware business has given me practical experience with customer needs and day-to-day operations.
