I help small businesses and operations teams eliminate manual work by building structured automation systems that actually run themselves. If your team is still relying on spreadsheets, copy-paste workflows, or "someone remembering to check," there is a better way. I design and build systems using Airtable, Make, and AI integrations that: Organize your data into clean, linked Airtable databases Automatically trigger actions based on form submissions, status changes, or dates Generate AI-powered summaries, reports, and notifications Route outcomes using conditional logic, no more manual sorting Send emails, create tasks, and update records without anyone lifting a finger Give you clear dashboards so nothing falls through the cracks My approach is strategic, not just technical. I start by understanding your workflow, finding the friction points, and building a solution that reduces admin hours and improves response time. I've built multi-scenario automation pipelines for compliance tracking and operations management, connecting form tools, AI, email, and databases into seamless end-to-end systems. You're not hiring someone to connect apps. You're hiring someone to build systems that reduce operational drag and give your team time back. If you're looking for clear communication, thoughtful implementation, and automation that actually sticks, let's talk.

With an extensive Upwork client history profile and having been Expert-vetted by Upwork as being in the top 1% of freelancers, I look forward to working with you soon! I am an integrations expert and am able to use tools such as Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate (formerly called Flow), and Make (formerly called Integromat), to create API integrations between many different applications. I have a keen understanding of backend data and how to easily get relevant information from one system to another. Integrating systems on the backend helps business workflow to be simplistic, efficient, and fast. I have been working on integrations since 2016, and have linked together numerous CRMs, accounting systems, marketing systems, spreadsheets, etc in a variety of ways, some simple and some extremely complex. Given API documentation, I am able to build custom connections, triggers, and actions in Zapier for many cloud based applications that do not yet have Zapier integration. Some of my other skills include Javascript, Airtable, Google Sheets, Google Forms, Fillable PDFs, Softr, JotForm, Typeform, Fillout Forms, X2CRM, Excel, Canvas, Planning Center, TeamUnify, Amateur Radio Operator, French language. As the owner of Glaive Consulting, I understand the needs of the small business owner to automate as much of the business as possible to allow focus on client work. Task tracking, time tracking and invoicing and customer followup are among some workflows that I have optimized for my business. Let me help you do the same!

If you're on Upwork looking for someone to automate a repetitive or inefficient process, I can help turn it into a reliable system that saves time, reduces errors, and is easier to manage. Automation should not become another process you need to constantly monitor. It should remove routine work and give you or your team more time for tasks that require human attention. As an AI Automation Specialist, I start with the process, not with a predetermined tool. I first understand how the work is handled today, where time is being lost, what information needs to move, and what can go wrong. Then I map the logic, choose the right technology, and build a workflow that works in real conditions—not only in a perfect test. I can help with: Data and workflow automation — synchronizing information between platforms, removing duplicate entry, routing requests, and creating automated updates or tasks. Lead and CRM automation — capturing leads, updating deal stages, scheduling appointments, sending follow-ups, and organizing customer communication. AI-powered information processing — handling incoming emails, forms, documents, and attachments; extracting key information; and creating structured records or reports. • AI agents for customer support — detecting intent, answering common questions automatically, and escalating anything urgent to a person, with a full log of every interaction. Call transcription workflows — turning call recordings or existing transcripts into summaries, reports, follow-up tasks, and CRM updates. Content and reporting automation — collecting information from multiple sources, generating briefings or content, formatting results, and delivering them automatically. Airtable systems and portals — building structured databases, dashboards, and role-based B2B or client portals. Examples of outcomes I have already delivered: Replaced daily manual research and report preparation with an automatically generated morning-show briefing delivered before airtime. (Make, Airtable, Claude, Gmail) Reduced the time spent reading emails and attachments by building an AI-powered intake system that extracts information, routes documents, and creates structured reports. (Make, OpenAI, Airtable, Gmail) • Built a self-monitoring system that detects Make scenario failures, diagnoses the cause, and alerts the right person automatically instead of a workflow breaking silently. (Make, Airtable, Gmail, Telegram, AI Agent) Turned a manually maintained catalog into a scalable Shopify storefront for hundreds of advertising locations. (Shopify, Airtable, Make, Zapier) Automated lead capture, CRM updates, and follow-ups to reduce duplicate entry and missed opportunities. (Airtable, HubSpot, Calendly, Zapier, Gmail) Replaced manual form sorting with a JotForm and Make automation that routes every submission to the correct Trello board and creates the required task. (JotForm, Make, Trello) • Replaced manual first-line customer support with an AI agent that detects intent, responds automatically, and escalates urgent cases to a person. (n8n, Airtable, Claude, OpenAI, Telegram) I also test missing data, duplicates, incorrect routing, API and platform limitations, failed operations, and other edge cases. The completed workflow is delivered with clear documentation so it can be understood and maintained after handoff. 🏆 Top-12 Finalist in the Make Community Challenge 2026 for AI Automation Doctor, a workflow monitoring and error-diagnosis system. More examples, workflow diagrams, and implementation details are available in my Upwork portfolio. Core tools: Make (Integromat), Airtable, n8n, Zapier, Claude, OpenAI, Shopify, HubSpot, JotForm, Trello, Softr, Calendly, Gmail, Google Sheets, Telegram, REST APIs, HTTP, JSON, and webhooks. I choose the stack based on the workflow. Other platforms can often be connected through native integrations, APIs, or webhooks. Tell me what you or your team are still doing manually, where the process keeps breaking, and what result you need. I'll tell you honestly what can be automated, what limitations may exist, and how I would approach the project.

I build client management systems and financial dashboards for small business owners — Dubsado and HoneyBook workflows that run your intake-to-invoice process automatically, Airtable systems that replace scattered spreadsheets, and Google Sheets dashboards that show you where your money is actually going. What I do: CRM & Client Workflows: Dubsado and HoneyBook setups that automate lead intake, proposals, contracts, and invoicing without manual intervention. Operations & Systems: Company hubs, trackers, and workflows in Airtable, Notion, and Zapier built so your team actually uses them. Financial Dashboards: Clean Google Sheets models tracking revenue, expenses, and margins — designed for owners, not data analysts. SOPs & Process Documentation: Translating daily operations out of people's heads into structured, step-by-step documentation anyone can execute. Data Cleanup & Architecture: Turning broken spreadsheets and multi-platform exports into reliable, automated weekly reporting. A recent example: A business owner came to me juggling his numbers across scattered spreadsheets and gut feel. I built him a Google Sheets operations hub with automated calculations and plain-language decision guides built directly into the sheet. It is what he runs his cleaning business on today, and he uses it live on calls with his own consulting clients. His direct feedback is in the testimonials below. How I work: I ask the right operational questions before building anything. I’d rather flag an underlying bottleneck in your data than quietly guess at what you need. I build systems you can easily run and adapt yourself after the project ends — if it falls apart without me, I didn't do my job. About me: I have 12 years of experience across data analytics, systems architecture, and process improvement — modernizing agency reporting, structuring tracking systems, and translating raw data into clear business decisions. Bilingual in English (native) and Spanish (advanced). If your backend operations feel disorganized or you're making decisions without a clear financial picture, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to fix. I'll take a look and give you an honest assessment of how to solve it.
