Hi, I'm Dolapo 👋
I'm an MIT grad and formerly worked as a developer and AI product manager at Slack, Salesforce and Visa. Now, I build systems that make thousands of dollars for small and medium sized businesses. I do this with a variety of cutting-edge tools (like Python, GPT-4, DALL-E 2, Make, Zapier).
I am extremely skilled at implementing AI and building solutions that save businesses hundreds of hours. If you want performant, scalable systems that last, you've come to the right place!

The longer version (if you've got a minute):
Hey there! I'm Dolapo 👋. I specialize in transforming business operations through automation and AI, helping companies run more efficiently and focus on what truly matters. This is usually through tools like GPT-4, Make, Zapier, and when needed, bespoke developed solutions.
I've worked on a variety of projects, from streamlining workflows with Make.com and Zapier to implementing AI-driven tools that enhance business processes. Some of my favorite projects include:
- Automated lead generation & outreach setups (to effortlessly find leads, qualify them, and connect with them via email, SMS, or social media, using personalized, AI-crafted introductions).
- Integrating multiple systems (connecting different tools and platforms so your business runs like a well-oiled machine)
- Automated content marketing solutions (to seamlessly generate blog posts, articles, social media previews, images, websites, or YouTube videos).
- Onboarding workflows (to seamlessly handle client or new hire onboarding, covering everything from payment forms and briefs to CMS integrations and beyond).
I’m well-versed in tools like Monday, ClickUp, Zoho, and Airtable, and have hands-on experience building custom API integrations for any additional functionality.
Whether it’s CRM management, document automation, or just making your day-to-day operations smoother, I’ve got you covered! If you're looking for someone who loves turning complex processes into simple, automated solutions, I'm your guy. Whether you partner with me for a quick project or a long-term engagement, you’ll get reliable, high-quality work and great communication every step of the way.
Excited to connect!

I build AI tools and automations that take manual work off your team's plate. I also build AI apps in public on my YouTube channel, so you can watch how I work and see what I've made.
I spent two years as a software engineer at Amazon Web Services before going out on my own. That means I can work in the no-code tools most of these projects use, like n8n, Make, Zapier and GoHighLevel, and I can write real code when a project needs it. Most jobs need some of both.
WHAT I BUILD
🤖 AI agents and chatbots. Tools that read, decide and act on their own.
⚙️ Automations and integrations. Getting the apps you already pay for to talk to each other.
💻 Websites, web apps and internal tools. Dashboards, portals and custom software.
📊 Data and scraping. Pulling information off the web, cleaning it up and putting it where you need it.
SOME OF MY WORK
Voice AI for drive-thru ordering (Lilac Labs)
I built a voice agent that takes customer orders, handles the back and forth, and passes the order into the restaurant's system. It is used in national fast food chains.
Operations automation for a moving company
Their team was typing customer info by hand, booking jobs one at a time and chasing follow ups. I built a system that reads the emails, fills in the CRM, follows up on its own and books the appointment.
✅ Saved the team 16 hours a week
✅ Booked 183 jobs with zero manual typing in 3 months
✅ Logged 100% of surveys in the CRM automatically
✅ Turned 57% of survey invites into booked appointments
✅ Paid for itself 10 times over, before counting the extra jobs they closed
AI lead generation agent (5 star rating on Upwork)
An agent that finds Etsy and Shopify stores by reading their websites, Instagram pages and link in bio pages, then reaches out. The client said: "When Omer showed me the finished automation, I was blown away."
AI sales research platform (ExtractG2, founder)
Software that read customer reviews, pulled out what buyers actually complained about, and turned it into research reports for sales teams. It grew to over 300 users a month.
WATCH ME BUILD
I run a YouTube channel where I build things start to finish on camera. Voice agents that call and qualify leads, lead generation systems, booking and intake setups, scrapers. It is there so you can watch how I think through a problem before you spend a dollar with me.
HOW I WORK
• I start by talking to the people doing the work, and find where the time is going
• I build with the software your team already uses
• I aim at things you can count. Hours saved, appointments booked, money recovered
• I write it all down so your team can run it without me
Send me the job or the process that is eating your week. I will tell you what is worth automating and what is not.
