Hi, my name is Claudio Teles. I'm the founder and owner of Teles Apps, a company located in Florida in the United States. We focus on developing custom built applications for companies that have their own workflows. Often I'll step in as a project manager or fractional CTO to be able to see what their business needs are. What is it that they're trying to build and then translating that into technical actionable tasks for the development team to implement? AI has become a big part of development and we very much use it. But you have to know how to use AI because we understand every aspect of software development. We can spot when AI is doing something wrong and then we can adjust to make sure that the product that you're building can be shipped and will be trustworthy. We've already helped various clients develop their own applications which you can see that in portfolio section of my page. If you have any questions about how software development should work, how to implement AI into it, please feel free to reach out to me at any time.
