👋I build automations and AI workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks, without opening a backdoor to your data.
My edge? I spent 8 years as a cybersecurity researcher (Ph.D., CISSP) at a major telecom lab.
So when I connect CRMs, inboxes and tools together, I'm not just thinking "Does it work?", I'm thinking "Is it the safest option given the current state of knowledge?"
Most automation gets built fast and loose, with credentials in plain text and data flowing to places it shouldn't. I build it locked down from day one.
What I can do for you:
• Automate the manual stuff: lead intake, follow-ups, data entry, reporting, scheduling; using Make, Zapier, n8n, and Python
• Connect your tools so they actually talk to each other (CRMs, Slack, Google Workspace, HubSpot, email, and more)
• Build AI into your workflows safely, so it helps without exposing your customer data
• Audit an existing setup and tell you, plainly, where it's leaking time or risk
A few things I've recently built for clients:
• Security automations that cut alerting time from days to minutes, so problems get caught while they still matter
• Connected a CRM to a marketing platform via API so leads flow automatically, with no manual export between systems
• Automated Slack message archiving into Google Drive
• Ran security assessments for small businesses unsure how exposed they were
• General automation + tech support across Slack, HubSpot, Zapier, Google Sheets, Looker, and more
