Hire the Best Automation Engineers in Denver, CO

I've spent 15+ years architecting production systems - from AI persona agent to global livestreaming services and cybersecurity analytics at 𝐂𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨. Two 𝐂𝐓𝐎 roles and a Director of Engineering gave me the architectural perspective that only comes from owning the entire technical surface of a company. As Granum's first Lead AI Engineer, I'm building GenAI infrastructure with a focus on agentic AI automations - powering intelligent workflows across Granum's unified software ecosystem.

I use tools like Claude, Cursor, and Copilot daily and actively coach teams to do the same - writing better prompts, building with AI-in-the-loop, and shipping faster without sacrificing quality. ➤ What I build • Full-stack AI products - End-to-end design and development of AI-powered applications: AI chatbots and virtual assistants, RAG-based knowledge portals, financial document processing and compliance analysis, healthcare clinical note summarization and intake automation, legal contract review and clause extraction, real estate listing generation and market analysis, e-commerce product enrichment and recommendation engines. • AI automation & workflows - LLM-driven pipelines that replace manual processes: document analysis, report generation, data extraction, email summarization, intelligent routing • Multi-agent systems - Autonomous agents that plan, reason, use tools, and collaborate to complete complex tasks (research, analysis, content generation, data pipelines) • RAG-powered knowledge systems - Production RAG with vector search, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and domain-specific chunking strategies for accurate, grounded responses • Conversational AI & assistants - Custom chatbots, copilots, and AI assistants with memory, tool use, and guardrails - deployed into Slack, web apps, and internal tools ➤ Track record • Lead AI Engineer, Granum: Building GenAI infra and agentic AI automations for landscaping and arborist businesses across Granum's unified ecosystem (LMN, SingleOps, Greenius) • CTO, Asha.ai: I led the transformation of an experimental prototype into a robust platform for building lifelike AI personas. I architected core systems including vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, and tone-aware response modeling. I also built and now lead a small, fast-moving team that ships meaningful features such as proactive outreach, personality calibration, and memory-based interaction—all designed to preserve human connection and personal legacy at scale. • CTO, Driift Live: Designed the architecture behind a globally available ticketed livestreaming and e-commerce service.

Hi, I'm Cole 👋 I build systems that currently generate hundreds of thousands of dollars for 6-and-7 figure agencies and real estate professionals. → I scaled a California-based lead gen agency from $5k to $50k/month using AI → I’ve built out systems generating $100k+ for real estate agents and investors → I leverage my insights as an ex-top sales rep at a Denver tech company to generate quality leads I am also certified in automation platforms and tools with an ever-present focus on maximizing leverage and building reliable systems using cutting edge tools like Make, n8n, GPT, Character-3, and more. In short, if you're looking for a scalable, well-oiled system that lasts, you've come to the right place. — The longer, in-depth version (if you’re interested): Happy to meet you! I’m Cole 👋.

I’ve created dozens of systems - many of them responsible for thousands of dollars in revenue or savings. My favorites to build (and personally use) are: - Multi-touch automatic lead gen & outreach systems that source, qualify, and reach out leads using email/SMS/social media and customized, AI-generated icebreakers - Content marketing systems that generate blogs, tweets, LinkedIn posts, images, and more to cut marketing creative time by 50%+ - Onboarding systems that fully automate new client onboarding including proposal generation and signing, payment forms, CRM integration, onboarding document creation, project management kickoff, and even initial service delivery I also have experience with most CRM’s and project management tools such as Pipedrive, Close, ClickUp, Airtable, Salesforce, Hubspot, etc. and have managed custom API’s for custom features and functionality.
