Last client engagement: 2500 hours/week of manual work replaced with AI-powered automation. System handles 1M+ executions/month at under 0.01% failure rate. I build AI automation systems that replace headcount. Not chatbots that demo well and break in production. Real systems: n8n and Make workflows, custom Node.js/Python, LLM integrations (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini), CRM automation (HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Airtable, Close), and cold email infrastructure (EmailBison, SmartLead, Instantly). HOW I WORK: 1. 20-min scoping call to map your manual processes and set KPIs 2. AI audit: I identify every automation opportunity with ROI estimate 3. Build + ship: mix of no-code and custom code, whatever gets you live fastest 4. Measure + optimize: quantitative report on time saved, error rate, cost reduction WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: - I'll send you a free 3-minute Loom auditing your current workflow before you hire me - Systems I build run in production at scale, not just in demos - I think like a business owner, not a task executor. If your approach is wrong, I'll tell you before I bill you If you're spending 20+ hours/week on work that should be automated, send me a message. I'll tell you exactly what I'd build and what it would save you.

I engineer intelligent software systems that combine scalable cloud infrastructure, advanced AI capabilities, and production-grade full-stack architecture. With professional experience spanning distributed systems, AI-powered workflows, enterprise SaaS platforms, and cloud-native engineering, I help startups and businesses build robust, high-performance applications that are designed for real-world scale. Previously, I contributed to large-scale engineering initiatives at Alibaba, where I worked on distributed inspection systems, asynchronous processing pipelines, cloud infrastructure optimization, and mission-critical platform tooling. Today, my primary focus is building next-generation AI applications, including: • Autonomous AI Agent Systems • LLM-Powered SaaS Platforms • RAG & Vector Database Architectures • AI Workflow Automation • Multi-Agent Orchestration • Intelligent Data Pipelines • Cloud-Native Backend Systems • High-Performance Full-Stack Applications Core expertise includes: Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux, React Native Backend: Node.js, NestJS, Spring Boot, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, REST APIs AI & Infrastructure: OpenAI, Claude, LlamaIndex, RAG Pipelines, Vector Search, AWS Lambda, ECS/Fargate, SQS, EventBridge, Docker, SageMaker I approach every project with an architecture-first mindset focused on: ✔ Scalability ✔ Reliability ✔ Maintainability ✔ Performance ✔ Clean system design Clients work with me when they need more than just a developer. They need an engineer who can architect systems correctly, solve complex technical problems, and deliver production-ready solutions with long-term business value. If you're building an AI product, SaaS platform, automation system, or scalable cloud application, I can help turn your vision into a robust, deployable product.

Hi, I'm Noah 👋 I build the custom AI and automation systems for businesses like AI-powered lead gen and outbound, custom AI agents, and the workflows that wire everything together. → I built an AI-powered outbound & lead-gen system for a large healthcare recruitment agency → I grew my AI automation brand to 16k+ followers and 6M+ views in under a year, with 100+ paying members → Certified Gold Retell AI Partner View my portfolio below to see what I've built. Let's talk! ——— The longer version: Good to meet you! I'm Noah, the technical half of SixFlow Automations. I'm the one who turns "can you build X?" into a system that actually works, and keeps working after handoff. My background is in engineering. I spent years designing, programming, and validating real hardware and software — controlling autonomous robots, building data pipelines, publishing research tools — before going full-time into AI and automation. That training is the difference between a build that breaks the first time it hits an edge case and one that runs quietly for months. What I build: Internal process automations Pipeline & follow-up systems Data & research workflows AI-powered lead generation & outbound Custom API integrations Voice AI agents (Gold Retell AI Partner) If your project touches AI or automation, I can probably build it and if a simple off-the-shelf tool would serve you better than a custom build, I'll tell you that straight. No overselling, no charging you for complexity you don't need. When you hire me, you're hiring the person who actually builds it, not a middleman who outsources the work. You get technical answers directly from the person writing the code, and you stay in contact with me after handoff, because I'm the one who knows the system inside out. Send me a message and let's talk through what you're trying to build. Cheers, Noah P.S. — Working with a tool, platform, or problem I didn't list? Still worth a message. Figuring out new systems is most of the job, and I love it.

A Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience testing SaaS, enterprise web apps, APIs, desktop apps, and mobile products at companies like Workday, Cisco, Intel, Thinkific, and CyberQP. I specialize in finding the bugs that usually escape basic test cases: permission issues, broken edge cases, data mismatches, workflow gaps, integration failures, flaky UI behavior, and release-blocking regressions. My strength is not just testing screens. I understand how modern SaaS products work: multi-tenant environments, role-based access, APIs, dashboards, session handling, backend/frontend boundaries, CI/CD pipelines, and customer-facing workflows.

I specialize in automation for systems where quality depends on backend correctness, integrations, and data consistency. I have hands-on experience building API automation for large sets of endpoints, with clear pass/fail results and coverage reporting to support release decisions. Key areas of experience: - API automation for complex backend systems - Integration and provisioning testing - Automation of migration result verification - Automated testing of payment workflows - Database validation through automated tests I prefer automation that: - validates real business logic - catches regressions early - scales as the system grows My goal is to help teams move faster without losing confidence in system stability.
