Hi, I'm Sam! I build AI + automation systems that help businesses make more money.
โ Built a qualification system that filtered 58% of poor-fit leads with sub-60-second follow-up
โ Built an AI agent that increased response rates by 47% and saved 25 hours per week
โ Scaled a lead engine from zero to 28,000 leads per month in 3 days
Built a customer service chatbot for a real estate company that handled repeated inquiries before they reached the team. Reduced human interaction by 32%.
Built an AI chatbot inside a lead scraping dashboard to answer platform, campaign, and operational questions. Reduced founder-dependent questions by 13%.
Built a conversion-focused website for a real estate investment company. Connected directly to the CRM, generated an additional $17,000 per month, and added 21 buyers per month to the buyers list.
Built an HTML pricing calculator and virtual call checklist for live sales calls. Increased conversion rates by 15%.
Became the number one appointment setter at TheHomesHero in under 30 days, generating $15K to $25K per month in consistent revenue while supporting 1,000+ pre-foreclosure homeowners in the pipeline.
Booked 80+ qualified seller-finance appointments for a leading Canadian seller-financing company and helped open the Ontario market.
Booked 40+ sales calls for BeachviewProperties.ca for new-construction real estate in Mexico.
Produced 318% shop efficiency during peak automotive season at Orleans Auto Pro, generating roughly $3,485 per day in labor revenue within 8-hour shifts.
Reduced install time on full AC and furnace jobs by approximately 50% at Titley Mechanical, creating capacity for one additional install per day without increasing labor cost.
At 22, built a U.S. pre-foreclosure wholesaling operation and helped 117 homeowners through lender calls, reinstatement steps, and free resources.
Who I Work Best With
Founders and teams who already have real work moving but the operation is still too manual.
If your business runs on copied data, repeated replies, manual follow-up, missed handoffs, or the founder holding the whole thing together, that is where I can help.
The first step is a conversation. I will find where the work breaks down and build from there.
