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.

What I build • AI lead generation systems • Automated outreach & follow-ups • AI prospecting agents • CRM automation pipelines • Appointment booking systems • Client onboarding workflows Tools Make, Zapier, n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, Clay, Apollo, Airtable, HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, APIs & Webhooks My background combines M&A consulting, capital raising, and automation, which means I approach systems with a business and revenue lens, not just a technical one.

𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒓𝒖𝒏. There's a specific kind of frustration that comes from hiring a developer, getting a working app, and then watching it quietly become a liability, hard to change, impossible to hand off, held together by logic nobody documented. I fix that before it starts. I build SaaS platforms, cross-platform apps, and automation systems for startups and lean teams that need things production-ready from day one. Clean architecture. Zero dead weight. Automation wired into the product — not stapled on after the fact. 7 years. Dozens of products shipped. Every one of them is still running. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ THE WORK ◆ SaaS Platforms that Scale Without Rewrites Secure auth · RBAC · modular APIs · multi-tenant architecture · dashboards built for real operators, not just demo days. ◆ MVPs That Actually Validate Web MVPs scoped tight, built fast, and structured so the next version doesn't require starting over. Next js · React · Supabase · Firebase · MERN · Bubble. ◆ Automation That Replaces Entire Job Functions Not just "connect two apps." Full workflow architecture using n8n, Make dot com, Zapier, Airtable — eliminating the manual work your team has quietly accepted as normal. ◆ Low-Code / No-Code Systems That Don’t Break at Scale Bubble · Webflow · Retool · Airtable · Supabase · n8n · Make dot com · Zapier Designed with proper data modeling, backend logic, and error handling, so your system holds up beyond the MVP stage. ◆ Internal Tools for Teams That Hate Bloated Software Custom CRMs, admin panels, ops dashboards — built using Retool, Supabase, or custom stacks based on complexity and scale. ◆ Integrations That Just Work Shopify · Webflow · Bubble · Slack · Circle · Klaviyo · Stripe · REST / GraphQL APIs Connected. Tested. Documented. Built with retries, logging, and failure handling. ◆ Event-Driven Systems Triggers, alerts, webhook pipelines, queue-based processing, and real-time workflows — automated end-to-end so nothing falls through the cracks at 2am. ◆ Workflow Architecture & Process Engineering Mapping business logic → translating into automation pipelines → connecting no-code tools with custom backend systems Includes conditional logic, branching, scheduling, retries, and full observability. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ THREE THINGS THAT MAKE THIS DIFFERENT ⚡Architecture isn't an afterthought here. Most MVPs are built to demo. Mine are built to survive — a product pivot, a funding round, a new hire who needs to understand the codebase in a week. ⚡Automation is a design decision, not a feature request. I look for what your team does manually and eliminate it during build — not as a bolt-on after launch. ⚡Small teams deserve enterprise-grade thinking. You don't need 20 engineers. You need systems designed so 3 people can run what used to take 10. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ STACK Next.js · React · Angular · React Native · Expo · TypeScript Node.js · Python · PostgreSQL · Supabase · Firebase · REST APIs n8n · Make · Zapier · Airtable · GHL . Webhooks Shopify · Webflow · Slack · Klaviyo · Circle · Payment APIs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ FROM RECENT CLIENTS ❝ "Expert in both mobile app development and workflow automation. Truly amazing to work with. Will definitely work with her again." ❝ "Well-structured automation between Google Sheets, Trello, and Slack. Smooth, reliable, and easy to follow — with thoughtful extras like logging and a detailed guide. Highly recommended." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ GOOD FIT FOR Startups pre-launch or just post-traction · Lean teams replacing manual operations SaaS founders validating before scaling · Operators who've outgrown spreadsheets and no-code ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔄𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡.
