I help clients organize, clean, and accurately manage data in spreadsheets and digital systems. My focus is on detail-heavy work where accuracy and consistency matter more than speed. I specialize in tasks such as: Data entry and spreadsheet organization Transferring information from receipts, screenshots, PDFs, and documents into clean formats Transcription of handwritten or unstructured notes into digital text Researching and updating contact or business information I take a careful, structured approach to my work. I make sure every entry is checked for accuracy and formatted consistently so the final result is easy to use and reliable. I’m comfortable with repetitive tasks and I stay focused until the work is completed correctly. If needed, I’m happy to complete a small sample so you can see my attention to detail before starting a full project. I’m available to start right away and can respond quickly to messages.

AI Automation Architect , GoHighLevel & n8n Specialist , Real Estate & Home Services "Speed to lead is the only metric that matters in 2025. If you are not responding to a new inquiry within 60 seconds, you are leaving 80% of your revenue on the table. I build the systems that make sure you never miss another lead again." Hi, I am Manam. I am based in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, operating in the EST time zone. Because I am local to North America, I am reachable almost any time for real,time collaboration, strategy calls, or emergency troubleshooting. I am a Senior Automation Architect who believes that technology should be "production,ready," meaning it is documented, reliable, and built to scale, not just a collection of fragile "cool ideas." With a professional background as a social media expert and a responsibility for reviewing Google My Business profiles, I bring a unique "human first" perspective to AI. Most developers build robotic systems that feel cold. I build welcoming, positive, and empathetic AI workflows that treat your customers with the same care a top,tier receptionist would. WHY WORK WITH ME? I specialize in the "high,tech" side of GoHighLevel and n8n. I don't just set up templates, I architect custom engines that solve specific business bottlenecks. When you hire me, you are getting: Local Expertise: Based in Ontario, Canada. No time zone gaps. No communication barriers. Documentation First: Every system I build includes Loom video walkthroughs and visual logic maps. You will actually understand and own your system. Proven Success: I have successfully deployed identical systems for HVAC companies, Real Estate teams, and car dealerships, helping them achieve 100+ closed transactions by automating the "boring" stuff. Top Rated Reliability: My 100% Job Success Score is a reflection of my commitment to hitting strict deadlines (usually 7,14 days) and delivering exactly what I promise. TECHNICAL STACK & SPECIALIZATIONS # GoHighLevel (GHL) Mastery I handle the deep architecture of GHL. This includes missed,call text,back systems, complex multi,stage pipelines, and custom snapshot creation for agencies. I specialize in lead activation and appointment,booking agents that live inside your CRM, ensuring every lead is qualified before it reaches your team. # n8n & Make.com Orchestration When GHL cannot do it alone, I use n8n or Make to bridge the gap. I connect Follow Up Boss, Ylopo, Zillow, and PPC lead sources to your AI agents. I am an expert in API and Webhook architecture, handling JSON authentication, error handling, and data mapping between disparate systems. # AI Voice & Conversational SMS I integrate VAPI, Retell AI, and OpenAI to create voice agents that sound human. These agents handle inbound calls, answer FAQs, and book appointments directly into your calendar. My SMS workflows use "reply/no,reply" logic and hot,lead detection to escalate urgent opportunities to your team via Slack or SMS. # Real Estate & Home Services Expertise I understand the lead lifecycle for Realtors and HVAC/Plumbing owners. I have built "Lead Strike Engines" that monitor 14,000+ lead databases for behavioral triggers, like a lead clicking a home valuation link. My systems respond instantly while maintaining full TCPA compliance, quiet hours, and opt,out handling. MY 5,STEP "PRODUCTION,READY" PROCESS The Audit: We identify where you are losing leads. Is it missed calls? Stale database leads? Slow response times? The Logic Map: I design a visual flowchart of the automation. You approve the logic before I build it. The Build: I develop the workflow in a test environment to ensure zero interruption to your live operations. The Stress Test: I run every edge case. What if they don't reply? What if it's 2:00 AM? What if the lead is a duplicate? Documentation & Handoff: I provide a full training package so your team knows exactly how to monitor and use the new system. I am not just a freelancer, I am your technical partner. My goal is to help you scale your business without increasing your overhead. Whether you need a simple FAQ chatbot or a complex multi,agent AI acquisition system, I have the experience to deliver it. Ready to see a demo? I have recorded video walkthroughs of my previous HVAC lead engines and Real Estate strike systems. I would love to share them with you. Can we schedule a brief call this week to discuss your 2026 growth goals? I am in Cambridge, Ontario, and I am ready to start. Best regards, Manam Pervez

Most PMOs produce reports. I build the systems that produce decisions. After 12 years running project controls on programs from $60M to $400M (EPC, construction, SaaS, ERP), I've seen the same pattern: PMOs that track everything but influence nothing. Executives get slide decks. Nothing gets decided. I come in, find the real gaps, and build governance frameworks, executive dashboards, and AI-powered PMO systems that leadership actually opens on Monday morning. What I build: → PMO governance from scratch: RAID logs, intake processes, change control workflows, RACI charts, and templates teams actually use (not bypass) → Executive dashboards (Power BI + Smartsheet) with live CPI/SPI, S-Curves, risk heatmaps, and one-page flight plans → AI-powered PMO operating systems: automated status synthesis, risk flagging, and reporting via Make + Claude API → Integrated master schedules in Primavera P6 and MS Project: from 25-project construction portfolios to 5,000-task EPC programs → EVM reporting (CPI, SPI, variance analysis) that finance and executives can read without a translator At Algonquin College, I built the PMO governance framework for a $75M ERP transformation across 7+ workstreams, eliminated 10+ hours per week of manual reporting, chaired the Change Control Committee, and integrated MS Project, SharePoint, JIRA, and Excel into a single reporting system. Over the past year I've extended this work into small businesses and SaaS development companies, teams that need the same discipline but with a lean approach. For these clients I typically deploy Smartsheet or Asana as the operating backbone, scaled to fit the team size and budget without the enterprise overhead. ------------------------------------------------- How I work: I don't need 3 weeks of onboarding calls before I start. I diagnose fast, build faster, and hand off with documentation your team can actually use. Week 1 - Diagnostic: I find the real problems, not just the obvious ones. Week 2–3: Build: governance frameworks, dashboards, automation, schedules. Delivery: A working system, full handoff documentation, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. Everything is deliverable-driven and async-friendly. If you want structured weekly check-ins, I build those in. If you prefer async-only, that works too. I respond within 12–24 hours and communicate in plain language, no consultant-speak. Not sure if this is the right engagement? Start with the Free PMO Health Check [link in profile] before you commit to anything. ------------------------------------------------- What clients say: "Grateful for Amir's expertise in all things PMO, governance and the hands on ability to demonstrate how to execute. The most difficult challenge at Algonquin was controlling the hybrid approach which included getting change management buy-in for the various ceremonies, multiple control tools (vendor/3rd party included) such as MS Project/Project Server, SharePoint, Jira, Service Now, SmartSheets and Azure DevOps. Amir is tremendously skilled in monitoring the governance impacts in near real time and making the necessary adjustments for delivery. I always think of Amir for his early consultation when I need to approach a new engagement. Thanks Amir!" Sam Wong - Algonquin College ------------------------------------------------------ "Amir has been working with our organization "PAND Settlement Service" for the past six years in various capacities, including five years as a strategic advisor and board member, where he played a key role in building the governance backbone of our organization. His strategic mindset, structured approach, and ability to translate complex project data into clear executive direction have significantly strengthened our operational efficiency and long-term planning. In addition to his leadership contributions, Amir has delivered high-impact PMP, Excel, and Project Management workshops for our community and designed a comprehensive Educational Email Course for our employment program, all of which received remarkable feedback. Most recently, as a member of our Board of Directors, he continues to advise at the executive level, providing valuable insight on organizational roadmap development and strategic growth."

I help businesses replace spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases, and manual workflows with user friendly software systems, built around how they actually operate. Most of the companies I work with have reached a point where their existing processes are no longer scaling efficiently: -spreadsheets becoming difficult to manage -disconnected tools and duplicated data -too much manual work -lack of visibility into operations -systems that have simply outgrown their original purpose That’s where I come in. I specialize in building operational business systems such as: • CRM / ERP / MRP systems • Inventory and order management systems • Job tracking and workforce systems • Quoting and estimating tools • Dashboards and reporting platforms • Automated workflows and integrations • Microsoft Access to Web App conversions My approach is different from most custom development because I build using a proven, custom framework and architecture refined across dozens of real-world business applications. This allows me to deliver: ✔ Faster development ✔ Lower overall project cost ✔ Reliable and scalable systems ✔ Clean, maintainable code ✔ Consistent workflows and user experience With this approach, you’re not paying to reinvent the wheel - you’re benefiting from systems and patterns that have already been proven in production environments. Before transitioning into software development full-time, I spent 8 years working in engineering and manufacturing in Canada. That experience gives me a strong understanding of operational workflows, process design, and the real-world business challenges behind the software. Today, I have: 🏆 Nearly 100 successfully completed projects on Upwork 🏆 100% Job Success Score maintained for over 8 years 🏆 Extensive experience with complex operational systems and custom workflows I’m also a strong believer in transparency and long-term reliability. -Clear and honest communication throughout projects -Fixed-price projects whenever possible -Strong internal QA/testing process -Lifetime bug-fix guarantee on fixed-rate builds If your current systems are slowing your business down, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to take a look and discuss possible solutions.
