Damian P.

Australian Building Designer | Architectural Drafting

Ascot, Australia
$35 per hour
13 jobs

I am an Australian building designer and architectural draftsperson who helps homeowners, builders, developers and manufacturers turn ideas, sketches and incomplete project information into clear, practical drawing packages. My experience includes new homes, renovations and extensions, modular and prefabricated buildings, accommodation developments, feasibility studies, commercial fit-outs and change-of-use projects. I have worked on projects across Western Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales. I approach each project as more than a drafting exercise. I review the available information, identify missing details and potential design conflicts, and organise the documentation so it can be readily understood and coordinated by clients, builders and specialist consultants. Depending on the project stage, I can assist with concept and feasibility design, planning and building approval drawings, coordinated architectural documentation and 3D visualisation. I work primarily in Chief Architect X18, supported by DWG and PDF workflows compatible with AutoCAD. My drawings are prepared with reference to the National Construction Code, relevant Australian Standards and applicable local planning requirements. I also identify matters that need to be resolved by building surveyors, engineers, energy assessors, access consultants or other specialists. Clients can expect direct communication, careful work and a realistic assessment of the information required to move their project forward. I hold current professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Please send me your project location, a brief description and any available drawings or sketches. I can review the information and help define the scope.

AI Automation & API Integration Engineer | Laravel, HubSpot, Xero, MCP

Brisbane, Australia
$100 per hour
34 jobs
$900K+ total earnings

I connect business systems to AI. 20 years building CRM, ERP and accounting integrations for Australian companies (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Xero, MYOB), and most recently CTO of an AI marketing SaaS where I shipped generative-AI and LLM pipelines in production (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Temporal workflows). $900K+ earned on Upwork, 100% Job Success, 15,000+ hours, Top Rated Plus. Every integration I ship is secure by default: read-only where possible, audit-logged, consent-aware, no personal data at rest unless you need it. WHAT I BUILD • AI agents that work inside your existing systems: read the CRM, draft quotes, triage enquiries, reconcile invoices, with audit logs and human approval before anything sends. • Integrations between the tools you already pay for: HubSpot ↔ Salesforce, CRM → Klaviyo, Xero or MYOB ↔ your app, marketplaces ↔ inventory (FlxPoint, Cin7, BigCommerce). • Custom Laravel, Node.js or Python back ends and REST/GraphQL APIs when off-the-shelf tools run out. • Rescue and rebuild of broken n8n, Make and Zapier automations. • Long-term ownership: monthly retainers for the systems I build. RECENT RESULTS • AI marketing SaaS (CTO, 2023–2025): led a ~200,000-line platform — Neo4j + PostgreSQL GraphQL API, Temporal workflows, 12 social and ad-platform integrations (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, LinkedIn) including the Meta app review and Google verification approvals, Stripe subscriptions with quota enforcement, generative-AI ad creatives and LLM classification, extraction, sentiment and summarisation services on AWS ECS, 150+ automated tests. • Childcare group (via a Sydney agency): CRM → Klaviyo bridge replacing a Zapier build. 3,370 families synced at cutover, 15-minute sync, no personal data at rest, 181 automated tests, 7 CloudWatch alarms. Live since August 2026, delivered in 8 weeks. • Pest-control franchise: ERP with a built-in cloud call centre (Twilio IVR, voicemail, after-hours routing, operator presence), suburb-based technician scheduling, invoicing, SMS campaigns and 12 management reports. 10 years in production, upgraded through to Laravel 12. • Security services company: CRM/ERP for guard rosters, patrols, alarm response and key management, with Xero invoicing, Deputy rostering and TrackTik integrations and automated nightly contract billing. 6 years as sole developer. • E-commerce retailer: integration middleware connecting BigCommerce, FlxPoint, Cin7, Prisync and TestFreaks — 10 scheduled sync jobs for orders, inventory, purchase orders and repricing, delivered in 4 months ("almost no revisions required", client). • DTC e-commerce brand (Shopify AU/US, Amazon, eBay, three 3PLs): paid technical audit and orchestration architecture, 43 pages across 4 documents, covering bundle-aware routing, inventory normalisation and source-of-truth boundaries; the blueprint for a fixed-price build. • Industrial inspection SaaS: 7 years modernising a multi-tenant Laravel platform (6 roles, 3 report formats, 126 migrations), now adding a read-only MCP gateway so AI assistants can query it safely. • Education provider: bidirectional Salesforce ↔ HubSpot sync across 10 record types, idempotent re-runs with per-record audit logs. HOW I WORK Brisbane time zone, overlapping US mornings and UK afternoons. Replies within the hour on business days. I build with Claude Code and ship with CI (static analysis, automated tests), scripted AWS provisioning, runbooks and a handover pack. Clean, SOLID code your next developer can read. Currently architecting a privacy-preserving AI platform (RAG on AWS Bedrock) for a regulated Australian sector.
