Software & AI Engineer · Woodbridge Township, New Jersey
I'm Israel Traore. I founded Aquila & Priscilla LLC and built ORAVA, the app a small business — especially an auto repair shop — runs its whole day on: sales, estimates customers approve by text, repair orders, payments and customer messages, all from a phone.
About
I've spent my career building enterprise software on .NET — the kind that runs claims, contracts and back offices for large companies, where reliability and integrations matter more than demos. More recently that work has been about AI: reading documents, pulling out the fields that matter, and putting them into a workflow a person can trust.
In October 2022 I founded Aquila & Priscilla LLC to take that same rigor to the businesses that keep a town running. The first product is ORAVA. Through the company I also build custom software and AI automation for other businesses, and I help them get found by the AI assistants their customers now ask for recommendations.
My full name is Rabaswende Israel Louis Yvan Traore. Rabaswende is my first name, but most people call me Israel; some know me as Louis Yvan.
What I've built
Point of sale, invoices and card payments, estimates with text-to-approve and signature, bookings, inventory and one inbox for customer texts. Repair orders, vehicle inspections and declined-work follow-ups for auto shops.
One assistant inside ORAVA that knows the record on screen and can draft an invoice, a customer message, a reminder or a stock change. It never acts on its own: every action comes back as a card the owner confirms or edits.
When a technician starts a job, ORAVA suggests labor hours and parts in order of trust: the shop's own history first, then a shared library, then AI research marked "verify before sending".
A photo of a supplier receipt becomes stock and a purchase. A screenshot of a customer's chat becomes an order. A technician's dictated note becomes a plain-language explanation the customer can read — never shown before a person approves it.
Consulting
Web and mobile apps built end to end, hosted and kept running — from customer portals to internal systems.
Connect AI to the tools you already use: intake, follow-ups, documents, reporting. With a human approval step where it matters.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude "who's good for this near me?", the answer comes from what the web agrees on about you. I set up the facts, profiles and pages that make you part of that answer — and measure it monthly.
Every engagement starts with an NDA, and I never touch your systems without written permission. Projects run through Aquila & Priscilla LLC.
