I design production-grade AI automation systems that replace manual workflows, connect fragmented tools, and drive real business outcomes. I’m not just building automations; I’m building end-to-end systems that handle lead flow, customer journeys, backend operations, and AI-driven decision-making. With deep expertise in n8n, Make, APIs, and AI systems, I help companies move from scattered tools to fully automated, scalable infrastructure. ⚡ What I Actually Do I architect and deploy automation systems that: - Capture, qualify, and nurture leads automatically - Connect CRMs, payment systems, and backend APIs - Run AI-powered workflows (GPT, agents, scoring, summarization) - Automate sales pipelines, booking systems, and follow-ups - Process data pipelines (ETL, enrichment, reporting) - Handle multi-client / multi-tenant automation setups 🧠 Real Systems I’ve Built AI Lead Qualification Engine (n8n + GPT + Airtable + Twilio) → Scores leads, triggers follow-ups, books meetings automatically Multi-source Intake System (Webhook + Voicemail + CSV) → Normalizes and routes leads into a unified pipeline AI Content & Ads Automation → Generates ad copy, creatives, and publishes via APIs Research Agent Workflow → Multi-step AI research with structured outputs Backend Automation (GHL → n8n → API systems) → Handles purchases, subscriptions, and provisioning logic 🛠️ Core Stack n8n (advanced workflows, error handling, scaling) Node.js / Make / Zapier OpenAI / AI APIs (GPT, agents, automation logic) REST APIs & Webhooks (custom integrations) Airtable / Google Sheets / CRMs (HubSpot, GHL, etc.) Twilio / SendGrid / WA integrations 🎯 What Makes Me Different Most freelancers automate tasks. I design systems that run your business processes end-to-end. - Built for reliability (error handling, retries, logging) - Designed for scale (multi-client, modular workflows) - Focused on business impact, not just tech 🚀 If You Need: - AI automation replacing manual operations - A robust n8n / Make / backend automated system (not a fragile one) - CRM + API integrations that actually work - A scalable backend automation architecture 👉 I’m the person you bring in. 🤝 Let’s Build Something That Runs Without You Tell me your workflow — I’ll turn it into an automated system.
