Wassim Taher

My name is Wassim, and I have over 15 years of professional experience in web development, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence. My clients range from single entrepreneurs to small, mid, large, and Fortune 500 corporations. I believe that building a successful application starts with understanding the needs behind building this application. Most developers jump straight to the technical side of things to perform what is needed while I research the best possible implementation to solve the client's problem. This approach has saved my clients and me tremendous efforts and time and has led to much better results.

I work with numerous technologies and programming languages, specializing in:

Web & Mobile Development:
- Modern Web Applications (Next.js, React, Vue 3, Svelte)
- Full-Stack Solutions (TypeScript, Node.js, Bun, Deno)
- Serverless Architecture & Edge Computing

- Micro-Frontend Architecture
- WebAssembly Applications
- Headless CMS Integration (Contentful, Strapi, Sanity)
- Custom API Development with GraphQL & tRPC
- E-commerce Solutions (Shopify, Medusa, Next.js Commerce)
- Chrome Extensions & Browser Add-ons
- Web Apps with NoCode (Bubble.io, Webflow, and similar)
- Mobile app development with Flutter, React Native & Firebase
- DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines (GitHub Actions, Vercel, Netlify)

AI & Automation:
- Advanced LLM implementation (Claude, GPT-4o, Llama 3, Mistral, Gemini)
- Multimodal AI systems (vision, audio, text integration)
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture design
- Agent frameworks and autonomous AI systems
- Vector database optimization (Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus)
- Model fine-tuning and PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning)
- Custom prompt engineering techniques
- AI Tools integration (Langchain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel)
- Edge AI deployment and optimization

Despite the fact that I have worked as a Freelancer for 3 years before joining Active Web, it was the first company I ever joined and the first professional environment I participated in.

I started as a Trainee for a very short period of time. In just 2 weeks I got promoted to a full time job as a programmer where I started to gain real professional experience. I have switched between full & part-time at Active Web depending on my college schedule during that time.

I am so grateful to every day I spent at Active Web because these were the days where I gained my love to everything related to the web and software development.

Achievements:

► Built a Voting System for Sagesse University on their Miss Sagesse event which has been featured on a local TV channel (LBCI).
► Improved the E-Commerce System that was initially built by Active Web with more additions/features.
► Integrated third party features into the E-Commerce System such as: SMS & Payment Gateways by local providers.
► Developed several websites for various clients.
► Built Database Architecture for several systems.
► Worked for the first time on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) where I applied everything I learned to the company's website.

Up until this day, I still communicate with my previous managers at Active Web. When I left Active Web it was a small company with few employees, and now it is among the leading Web Design companies in Lebanon. I'm so glad to see the continuous achievements of Active Web, and feel extremely happy that I was part of these achievements & success.
