I build lead-generation systems that turn buying signals into booked B2B meetings: Clay, LLM agents, Close/HubSpot, EN/DE. My systems watch the market, enrich and score every account, and hand your team ready-to-send outreach.
👋 Hi, I'm Michael. In practice that means:
• detect buying signals // LinkedIn - Deep Research - Exa.ai - Parallel.ai
• enrich the right accounts // Clay + agentic waterfalls
• turn them into CRM-ready outreach // Close CRM - HubSpot - Airtable
Most "automation freelancers" connect tools. I engineer revenue systems: agentic pipelines that watch the market for buying signals, enrich and score every lead with LLMs, and hand your team a ready-to-send message, not a raw list.
Systems I've built and run in production:
⚡ Signal-based lead engine: monitors public market data daily, scores every company against your ICP (Gemini/Claude), generates a personalized outreach angle, and pushes it into Close CRM with custom fields and call notes. The sales team starts every morning with ready-to-call accounts instead of research work.
⚡ AI job-feed monitor: polls job feeds 24/7 (VPS/Docker), pre-filters with heuristics, LLM-scores every posting, and sends a Telegram alert within minutes of posting, so you reply first. The same system analyzed 966 projects to map an entire market segment.
⚡ Decision-maker extraction pipeline: company website to LinkedIn to verified email/phone via waterfall enrichment, batched into Airtable. 100k+ B2B leads enriched with Clay and custom scrapers; every row carries its source, so your sales team can trust the data.
⚡ Pre-meeting intelligence copilot: crawls a prospect's website and generates a sales briefing plus a branded proposal draft (PDF/DOCX) in minutes, replacing manual pre-call prep. Built with Claude, Next.js and Firecrawl; in daily use by a real sales team.
⚡ Recruiting automation: automated job-post detection plus AI candidate-to-job matching and scoring for a boutique recruiter in Austria; matching candidates surface the same day a role goes live.
What I do best:
🧠 Agentic LLM workflows: multi-step AI systems (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI) that research, score, decide and write, with structured outputs, retries and QA built in, so they run unattended
🔎 Signal detection & enrichment: Clay, Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel.ai, custom scrapers (Python/Playwright); waterfall enrichment that beats Clay credits on cost
✉️ Outbound grounded in evidence: every message cites a verifiable event (hiring, funding, project data, website changes), so replies come from relevance, not volume
🗄️ Public-data sourcing most freelancers miss: registers, procurement portals, ad libraries, niche directories. For DACH targets that includes Austrian and German commercial registers and legally clean imprint pipelines, delivered with native-German outreach
🔗 CRM & ops integration: Close, HubSpot, Airtable, Make/n8n; auto-sync, dedupe, auto-enrichment of missing contact data
Stack: Python · Claude & Gemini APIs · Clay · Firecrawl · Exa · Apify/Playwright · Airtable · Close CRM · HubSpot · n8n · Telegram bots · Docker/VPS · Next.js/React for internal tools
Industries: B2B SaaS, Recruiting, Insurance, Solar/Energy, Construction, Local Services, for clients across the US, EU and DACH.
Past clients:
✅ SIRECO: AI email + lead system with real-time project data
✅ Otti & Partner: automated job-post detection + candidate scoring
✅ Geisselhofer & Partner: industry-specific scraping + enrichment pipeline
A good fit if you:
• have data (or know it's out there) but no system turning it into pipeline
• want outreach that references real buying signals instead of "I came across your profile"
• need an AI workflow that survives production, unattended
I prototype fast, work async (CET, overlapping US mornings), and ship working systems in days. Happy to start with a tightly scoped first build so you can judge the work before committing to anything bigger.
Greetings from Vienna,
Michael
