Production automation systems in n8n and Zapier — AI agents, API integrations, and CRM backends that keep running after I'm gone. Recent build: a full operations system for a construction company connecting Jobber, Google Workspace, OpenAI, and Discord across 15+ live workflows. The centerpiece is an AI estimator agent — a chat-based quoting tool backed by a four-step pricing engine: it takes the contractor's stated price first, falls back to the master pricing database, then asks AI for current market rates, then flags anything it can't price. Finished quotes draft straight into Jobber for review. Every action is safe to retry, errors are categorized and logged in a way that protects customer data, and a watchdog pings the bot every 30 minutes and emails the owner if it goes down — with API costs kept predictable even on long conversations. Before that: a financial reconciliation system for an IFA firm (built in Google Apps Script) that ingests income reports from multiple sources and formats, normalizes and deduplicates them, matches actual payments against expected fees, and flags discrepancies in an auditable dashboard with an interactive override card. The client runs it monthly with no developer involvement. Most broken automations aren't tool problems — they're systems problems: poor inputs, unclear logic, duplicate data, weak error handling, no visibility when something fails. Closing that gap is the whole job. I do my best work on: AI-powered workflows where the model is one validated part of a larger system (Claude / OpenAI structured output, not raw prompts) Multi-source data integrations where formats don't match and duplicates have to be caught API + CRM work (Jobber, HubSpot, Google Workspace) that rewards careful design and defensive error handling Systems that keep running reliably without me after handoff Primary stack: n8n, Zapier, Python, JavaScript, Google Apps Script, Claude & OpenAI APIs, Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot — connecting CRMs to reliable, maintainable AI-supported backends. If that sounds like your problem, send me the messy version — the formats that don't match, the process held together by hand. That's where I do my best work.
