Hi, I’m David 👋 I'm an engineering veteran, having played a major role in projects that have generated millions of dollars in revenue for companies like Universal Studios, BP and Mondelez. I once saved a major Australian fuel joint venture (BP and UGL) from a $10,000 mistake by utilizing AI to audit parts they had purchased for an install. I've built internal software tools which have saved over $30,000 annually by eliminating manual tasks such drawing and document generation. I bring that same expertise to the world of business automation, designing systems using Claude Code, n8n, Make and other tools to streamline repetitive processes such as: - Lead Generation - Booking systems - Hiring systems - Invoice follow ups - Proposal generation systems And much more. These aren't just tools for clients - I live by them, having automated my own life to filter emails, track calories, send smart reminders, scrape real estate, and notify me of local events. Rest assured I will bring the same passion and care to you and your business. My goal is simple: To help you spend less time on the boring, error prone tasks, and more time on the tasks that drive revenue. With nearly a decade in industry, I know how important communication is. You'll get clear, consistent updates at every step along the way. If you're ready to get started, lets chat.

I specialize in building automation layers around existing AI systems. Many businesses already have an AI agent, receptionist, chatbot, or internal LLM workflow in place, but struggle with reliability, downstream task automation, or integrations with CRMs and third-party tools. I help improve these systems by designing and implementing backend workflows that make AI outputs more actionable and consistent in real-world environments. My experience includes developing batch-processing pipelines for LLM-based classification across multiple providers such as OpenAI GPT models, Google Gemini, and Amazon Bedrock Claude. I have implemented tools to create structured JSONL batch requests (including few-shot setups), submit and track inference jobs, parse returned outputs into structured results, and evaluate classification performance programmatically. In addition to model integration, I work on improving workflow reliability through request structuring, response caching, token usage monitoring, and automation of repetitive AI-driven tasks such as follow-ups, booking logic, document classification, and service matching. Typical areas where I can help include: • Integrating LLMs into existing applications or websites • Improving reliability of AI voice/chat receptionist workflows • Automating reminders, updates, and follow-ups • CRM or third-party API integrations • Prompt orchestration and context/session handling • Batch inference setup and monitoring • Output parsing and structured reporting • Cost optimization through efficient request handling If you already have an AI-powered system and want to improve stability, automate downstream actions, or connect it to your operational tools, I can assist in making the workflow more production-ready and scalable.

AI AUTOMATION & GTM STRATEGIST I build systems that replace manual work and drive real pipeline — the two are connected, and that's increasingly where I focus. Recent builds: • Invoice automation for a car dealership — 99% faster processing (4 minutes to 4 seconds), live in 4 days • Invoice processing + automated staff compliance flagging for an NDIS provider — replacing a fully manual timesheet-chasing process • Multi-tenant SaaS platform for car rental businesses — built and deployed from scratch, currently running two active tenants Currently in development: an AI-assisted, agent-verified recruitment/migration platform, and an EMR/practice management system for allied-health clinics (booking, records, financial reconciliation). What I typically deliver: ✅ Automated lead generation — average 15-25 qualified meetings/month ✅ Email infrastructure at 95%+ verified accuracy, zero-bounce setups ✅ Back-office automation — 8-15 hours/week saved combined across invoicing, approvals, and admin ✅ Voice AI receptionists and booking systems ✅ Real-time analytics dashboards and CRM auto-enrichment Tools: Make, n8n, Vapi, Instantly, Apollo, Airtable, GA4/GTM, Xero, ZeroBounce. Based in Brisbane, working with clients across Australia, East Africa, and India.
