๐ US Citizen in the Philippines (GMT+8), working U.S. hours
Most business owners didn't sign up to be human middleware between a dozen tools. But here we are. You're not looking for AI. You're looking for relief.
I've spent 25+ years in IT: running systems and teams, writing SOPs, handling CRM handoffs, cleaning up the messes nobody documented. I know what automation has to survive inside, because I've lived in it. I run my own practice on a custom AI operating system I built from scratch. Everything I recommend, I've built and run myself.
โ THE REAL PROBLEM
You've probably already tried AI: a "game-changing" tool that took 40 minutes to set up just to send one email. It helped in a demo, then it didn't deliver.
Most problems aren't about tools. Work gets stuck between inboxes, spreadsheets, people, and decisions nobody wrote down: who owns what, what happens at the handoff, what breaks when someone's out. What you needed wasn't another tool. It was someone to build the right thing for your situation, keep your judgment where it belongs, and keep it running while you run the business โ and, if you want, stay on and run it for you. That's a different skillset. That's what I do.
โ WHAT I ACTUALLY BUILD (AND THE PROOF)
๐ฅ๏ธ AI OPERATING SYSTEMS: Know-how lived in scattered chats, folders, and in minds. I engineered AIOS, a digital operating system, to serve as an operational backbone. It actively captures institutional knowledge โ client history, proof points, hard-won decisions โ into a living control plane that standardizes how work gets done and automates onboarding for every new engagement. Purpose-built skill agents act as role-based specialists โ research, deliverable production, client reconciliation, invoicing โ while built-in audit loops reinforce strict governance, demanding my explicit sign-off before anything client-facing ships.
โ๏ธ AVIATION & CRM AUTOMATION: A broker was losing 15-30 min of hand work per lead, tied to an always-on office PC. I built lead-enrichment, content, and follow-up pipelines on Claude Code + the Claude API into HubSpot, then moved them to run unattended in the cloud. Lead prep dropped to near-zero.
๐ฉบ HEALTHCARE ADMIN: A client drowning in 2,400 emails/month. I built a HIPAA-aware system that reads, sorts, references policy, and drafts replies (human-approved). 15 minutes per case dropped to under 2, and the backlog vanished.
๐๏ธ CONSTRUCTION & TRADES: A key person's knowledge lived in his head; hiring was paper and manual checks. I built an operations manual plus quick-starts so backup staff have a real playbook โ plus Claude hiring screens (I-9, drug-test, background, capability scoring, standardized report). The HR team runs it today.
โ THREE WAYS I DELIVER IT (USUALLY A MIX)
โช TRAIN YOUR PEOPLE โ for judgment or relationship work, I make your team great with AI and coach them until it's second nature. They stay the driver.
โช AUTOMATE IT โ for repetitive, high-volume work, I build the pipeline that runs on its own and waits for a human's yes.
โช I RUN IT โ when you'd rather not run it at all, I stay on as your operator, so you just get the outcome.
A human stays on the decision either way, and I never lock you in: it's your systems and your files, handable to someone else tomorrow.
โ THE TECH STACK
โช Agents & infrastructure: Claude Code, Claude Teams, scheduled cloud agents (Routines) โ nothing to babysit
โช Workflows: n8n (my depth, deterministic routing), Make, Zapier, custom production agents
โช Models: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini โ to read, sort, draft, decide, with human approval where it matters
โช Data & APIs: Supabase, Airtable, Postgres, Google Sheets, REST/webhook integrations, RAG
โช CRM & where work lives: HubSpot, ClickUp, Airtable, Notion, Monday, Smartsheet, Google Workspace
โ HOW I WORK
START WITH THE PRESSURE: The one thing costing you the most time or attention right now, not an "AI transformation." I get inside how the work actually happens.
BUILD SMALL, PROVE IT, EARN THE NEXT: No month-long black box. I build the smallest useful piece, run it alongside what you have, and prove it on real work before you depend on it. Often the most valuable thing I do is talk you out of the flashy build until the foundation that carries it is in.
GOVERN THE WHOLE WAY: Read-only by default, a human on anything that matters, monitoring and an escalation path. If something breaks, you hear it from me before your clients do.
DONE MEANS YOUR PEOPLE CAN RUN IT: Documented so it lives in your business, not in my head.
โ SOUND LIKE YOUR BUSINESS?
