Hey, I'm Ocean. I build Claude-powered automation for service businesses. My last three projects surfaced $300K+ in recoverable value. →🔍 I built a Claude financial system for a $470K service firm that surfaced $144K in value →📊 I ran an AI audit for a $25M distribution company and identified over $162K in value →🚀 I consulted a $3.7M YC-backed startup on their position in the $11B autonomous AI agent market The thread across all three: I don't ship clever automations, I ship systems that survive a real production environment. If you're a service business losing time to outbound, admin, or back-office drag, that's the gap I close.

If you’re tired of doing the same thing over and over again, I can help you automate it. What I build: Business process automation (Make, Zapier): Connecting data in your business API integrations: No native modules?

Top Rated AI automation engineer. 5 stars on every closed job. I build production-grade automation in n8n, Claude API, custom MCP servers, and Apify. Most n8n freelancers on here bolt error handling and security on at the end. I build it in from the start, so your automation doesn't break the first time something unexpected happens. What I usually build: - n8n workflows connecting whatever APIs you need, with proper error handling and retry logic - AI agents using OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google models, chained together in n8n with structured outputs - Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, and CRM API integrations into your existing stack - Apify actors and browser automation for scraping and data pipelines - Python scripts and REST endpoints that run scheduled jobs or extend n8n - Postgres schema work, SQL queries, and database integration - OAuth 2.0 flows, API key handling, and proper secrets management - Custom MCP servers and agent scaffolding for teams using Claude Code How I work: Build engagements are scoped projects with a fixed deliverable and full handover documentation. Retainer is my preferred model if you have an ongoing pipeline of automation work — new flows, maintenance, iteration. If you're not sure what to automate first, I can run an audit: map your manual processes, identify the highest-ROI targets, and give you a prioritized build list before any code is written. I'm a good fit if you have a manual process eating 5+ hours a week, you're figuring out where AI actually fits in your workflow, or you want a long-term engineer who learns your stack and owns the automation layer. How a project usually starts: you message me with the problem, I send a fixed-price or retainer quote within 24 hours, weekly demos during the build, full handover docs at the end.
