I help businesses automate the repetitive work that eats their week — capturing leads, syncing data between tools, following up, posting content, and connecting every app you use into one pipeline that runs on its own. I'm an n8n and AI automation specialist. If two tools in your business don't talk to each other, or a task gets done by hand over and over, I can almost certainly automate it. Whether you need one clean workflow or an entire backend wired across a dozen apps, I build reliable, fully documented systems with proper error handling — not fragile automations that break silently the moment something changes. WHAT I CAN BUILD FOR YOU: - Workflow & business process automation — n8n (expert), plus Make / Zapier - AI automation & AI agents — OpenAI/GPT & Claude, RAG chatbots, LLM-powered workflows - AI voice agents — inbound/outbound call agents that qualify leads, book appointments & sync to your CRM (Vapi, Retell, Twilio Voice) - CRM automation & lead pipelines — capture, qualify, tag, route & follow up (Follow Up Boss, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Airtable) - Social media automation — auto-generate and publish content to Facebook/Instagram from your own triggers, with AI-written captions - Multichannel messaging — Twilio SMS, WhatsApp & email automation - API & webhook integrations — connect any tool with a REST API, plus custom code in JavaScript & Python - Document & data automation — DocuSign, PDF/data extraction, Google Sheets, databases RECENT WORK: I built an end-to-end system that runs a client's entire lead-to-contract pipeline: a master webhook routes every CRM event to the right workflow, auto-qualifies and tags leads, syncs email lists, sends SMS, and auto-issues DocuSign agreements. A connected system recovered 1,000+ contacts' missing emails automatically — with zero manual entry. I've also built an AI voice agent that calls leads, qualifies them, and logs results straight to Google Sheets, plus an AI social pipeline that turns a single image upload into a published, captioned post. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME: ✅ Systems that are documented, tested, and built to keep running after handoff ✅ Real business outcomes — fewer dropped leads, faster response, hours saved every week ✅ Fast, clear communication — I respond within hours If you've got a repetitive process, disconnected tools, or data slipping through the cracks, send me a message and let's map out what we can automate.
