AI Voice Agent Developer | Vapi AI & Retell AI | Automated Call Handling & Lead Booking
Missed calls and slow follow-up cost businesses real revenue. I build AI voice agents on Vapi AI and Retell AI that answer calls, qualify leads, and book appointments so your business responds instantly, 24/7, without hiring extra staff.
★★★★★ "This is my second time working with Zarah, and once again she delivered exceptional work." repeat client, home services business
What I build:
Inbound AI voice agents that answer, qualify, and route calls (Twilio, PBX, Asterisk)
Outbound AI callers for lead follow-up, re-engagement, and appointment confirmation
AI receptionists for healthcare, real estate, hospitality, and local service businesses
End-to-end integration with your CRM, calendar, and workflow tools (HubSpot, GoHighLevel, n8n, Make, Zapier)
Recent results:
Dental clinic: built an AI receptionist handling booking, reminders, and patient inquiries client reported zero missed new-patient calls in the first month
Local service business: deployed a Retell AI outbound caller that re-engaged a dormant lead list, booking 18 appointments in the first two weeks
Lead workflow client: integrated Retell AI with n8n for fully automated intake eliminated manual data entry and cut lead response time from hours to under a minute
How it works: message me with your use case → I'll map your call flow and tell you honestly whether a voice agent fits → if it does, most builds are live within 1-2 weeks.
If you're losing leads to missed calls or slow response times, let's talk.

I build AI systems that don’t break in production, don’t crumble at scale, and don’t become your next expensive rewrite.
Over the past year I've shipped a voice AI healthcare assistant handling 50,000+ users (cutting staff workload by 70%), built agentic workflows for real-time patient triage and scheduling, and developed LLM infrastructure that runs in live enterprise environments. I currently build tooling for enterprise companies including a platform for deploying and scaling AI models in production.
My core stack:
→ Voice & Real-Time AI: LiveKit, Deepgram, Cartesia
→ Agentic Systems: LangChain, OpenAI API, multi-agent orchestration
→ LLM Deployment: vLLM, Ollama, Hugging Face, GPU inference, CUDA
→ Full-Stack: React.js, Next.js, FastAPI, Django, Node.js
→ DevOps / Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana, Linux, Slurm
What I build:
- AI voice agents for customer-facing and healthcare use cases
- Agentic automation pipelines (lead generation, triage, scheduling)
- LLM infrastructure including both local and cloud deployment, inference optimization
- Full-stack AI-powered applications with real backend systems
- GPU clusters and HPC environments for AI research
I've been awarded First Prize at the National Tech Expo for edge AI systems and built a 1.2 petaflop GPU cluster for AI research from scratch.

HIPAA-aware AI voice agents for healthcare — built on Synthflow, Retell AI and ElevenLabs. I turn missed calls into booked appointments with 24/7 reception, appointment booking and CRM automation that capture every inquiry and route it into your real systems.
I specialize in production voice agents (Synthflow, Retell AI, Voiceflow, ElevenLabs) wired into your real systems — GoHighLevel, HubSpot, EHR / booking tools, Twilio telephony, plus AI chat & WhatsApp assistants (ManyChat, WATI) — with OpenAI / GPT-4o driving the conversation and n8n / Make orchestrating the workflow end to end.
Healthcare is where I'm strongest. Recent work includes:
Patient growth & booking across a 55-clinic chiropractic network (Australia)
24/7 AI shift-coordination for UK NHS healthcare staffing
Bilingual (EN / ES) after-hours patient reception (Miami)
Inbound AI receptionists for dental & medical clinics
AI voice agent for medical consults (Synthflow + PracticeQ / EHR)
I design with compliance in mind: HIPAA-aware architecture, PHI minimization, audit logging, and clear medical-escalation rules — the AI never diagnoses or gives medical advice; it routes to your staff.
Beyond healthcare, I deliver the same voice + integration stack for clinics, agencies, startups, and appointment-driven service businesses.
What I deliver:
AI voice & chat agents: inbound / outbound calls (Twilio, VoIP), WhatsApp & web chat, FAQ, triage, appointment booking
Lead qualification, enrichment & conversion bots
Knowledge-base & RAG assistants (document / data retrieval, multi-agent)
AI automation for business operations (n8n, Make, Zapier) + API / webhook integration
CRM & calendar integration (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Google Calendar)
QA & testing for conversation flows and backend logic
Backed by 8+ years in project management and backend development (JavaScript, Node.js, Express, serverless, Supabase), I own the full delivery cycle — architecture, conversation design, QA, deployment.
Let's build a voice agent that fits your business.
