Hey, I'm Oday. I build Automations that help companies scale and reclaim thousands of hours. Some highlights: - Saved $2M+/year by automating the onboarding and selection of critical suppliers - Automated the processing of 60,000 invoices annually for a real estate developer - Launched an AI-powered patient communication system that scaled to $30k+ ARR - 3x'd inbound leads for law and accounting firms using automated capture workflows I work across Python, n8n, Apify, APIs, webhooks, and Excel, and I pick up whatever's needed to get the job done right. With AI, the opportunity to build solutions that used to take entire teams is bigger than ever. But the real value isn't in the tech, it's in understanding the business problem deeply enough to architect something that actually lasts. Let's build something together.

Hey, I’m Charlie 👋 1% of companies are implementing AI effectively. I’ll put you among them. - I have 3+ years of experience working with AI. - I have consulted with senior UK elected politicians. - I will build you the same AI automation systems that companies use to generate $500,000+/ month (see below). Workflows which may interest you: - Risk Analysis Automation: A system which automatically analyses every client call and uses AI to predict the likelihood of churn. If the likelihood is high, a team member is instantly notified via slack or email. The team member can then address the client's concerns before they escalate into complaints and negative feedback. - Ad Performance Analysis: A system which analysis live ad performance data. It sends alerts when an ad outperforms others (e.g. has a very high CTR). It identifies the patterns that effective ads have in common and then uses this insight to suggest future copy. - Custom AI: A system that automatically collects client data - slack/email messages, calls, ad performance - and adds this to a knowledge base for a custom AI. Team members overlooking multiple clients can then query the AI for specific client details. I use best-in-class tools like Claude Code, N8N, Instantly, Anthropic, ChatGPT, Codex, etc. If you’re looking for someone to build AI powered growth systems that maximise business potential, let’s talk. Best, Charlie
