Hire the Best System Automation Specialists in Colorado

Hi, I'm Dawson 👋 I build AI-powered workflow systems for B2B businesses using n8n and Claude AI — the kind of systems that run in the background while your team focuses on what actually moves the needle. I've built an AI recommendation engine that added $1,400-$2,200 MRR for a 442K-follower brand, designed an email automation system that gave a real estate agent back 28+ hours every week, and managed a team of 10 as General Manager of a high-volume restaurant handling scheduling, payroll, customer issues, and keeping operations running smoothly every day. That real-world operations background is what makes the systems I build actually work in practice.

Struggling to get your team to actually use Asana? You don’t need more tasks. You need an operating system. I help founders and small teams turn their Asana workspace from a chaotic mess into a reliable Operations Command Center. With clean workflows, smart automations, and clear ownership that runs without you. The "Asana Rescue" Specialist I bring 15+ years of experience leading high-stakes programs and managing million-dollar budgets. I build backend systems that allow you to scale. Real Client Wins: My systems don't just look nice; they change lives. The 7-Year Vacation: Architected a system for a cleaning business owner that allowed her to take her first vacation in 7 years while the business ran smoothly without her. The $3M Scale: Built the operational backbone for a SaaS founder to hit her $3M revenue goal, eliminating decision fatigue and automating handoffs. The "Monday Morning" Peace: Saved a client 10+ hours per week by replacing scattered emails and Slack pings with one central "Truth Source." Is this you? ❌ Your team ignores Asana because it feels clunky or "noisy" ❌ You are constantly chasing updates via Slack, Email, and Text. ❌ You have 50+ "overdue" tasks that aren't actually real How I Fix It: ✔️ Asana Rescue & Detox: I log in, archive the junk, fix your taxonomy, and silence the notifications that are driving your team crazy ✔️ Workflow Automation: I build Rules so that handoffs happen automatically (e.g., "When status is Done -> Notify Project Manager") ✔️ Team Training: I record custom videos so your team actually knows how to use the system I built My Guarantee: I am not a virtual assistant who needs micromanagement. I am a Systems Architect. You give me access to the mess, point me to the goal, and I come back with a system that works. Most clients start with a "System Audit" or "Rescue Package." Ready to stop chasing tasks? Click "Invite to Job" and let’s get your backend sorted.

I run an automation platform that processes 200+ leads/day across 9 AI models — $3/month, zero manual intervention. That same architecture applies to whatever you need automated. 8 years building across hardware, IoT, and AI-powered software systems. I started in hardware — a CNC machine built from scratch, a 3D print lab serving 30,000 students, marine research electronics, solar-powered IoT. That background means I think about failure modes, edge cases, and what happens at 2 AM when nobody's watching. Now I apply that same thinking to AI automation and software. What I've built recently: → Automated lead pipeline — scrapes, scores, and routes leads through 9 AI models with multi-provider routing across 10+ LLM APIs. Runs 24/7, $3/month. → OAuth integration platform — configured OAuth apps across GCP, Azure, and a dozen developer portals. Credential management, scope mapping, production verification. → Voice-powered POS system — restaurant staff speaks orders naturally, system parses in real time. 94% speech accuracy, 300ms response time. → Multi-agent software factory — 19,000+ lines of Go. Autonomous code generation with self-testing and iterative correction. I work fast. Most automation and integration jobs I can scope in a single conversation and deliver within days. You get documentation, a walkthrough, and a system your team can maintain without me. Tools I work with: Zapier, Make, n8n, Python, Airtable, Notion, Discord, API integrations (REST, webhooks, OAuth), AI/LLM pipelines (OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini), voice processing (Deepgram, Whisper). Returning to Upwork after years of building — 8 previous jobs here, all 5-star. Happy to do a quick call before starting any project. What does your current workflow look like before automation? That tells me where the real bottleneck is.

Hi, I’m Donovan 👋 I saved $66,100 annually in labor costs with an automated Zoom meeting scheduling system. I replaced a laborious, error-prone employee performance evaluation process with a fully automated solution that leverages AI and Power Automate, saving $3,500 per cycle. I saved $1,250 per month reducing license costs by syncing critical data from HubSpot to Excel. I’m happy to do this and more for you too. The longer, sit-down version (if you've got a minute) It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Donovan 👋. I have over a decade of experience creating hundreds of automations with Zapier and more recently, Make.com. Some drop-dead simple, many extremely complex. My favorites include: - I saved my client $66,100 per year by creating a solution called the Zoom Sessions Generator. It simplified the laborious process my client (a UX Research agency) faced of creating thousands of Zoom sessions per year by coupling together a number of services, leveraging the Zoom API, and creating a custom built Slack bot. - I’ve built an AI email response system that determines if an incoming email is asking a question or not and responds accordingly. - I’ve built onboarding systems that have relieved HR and other team members from hours of laborious tasks. - I’ve built systems that leverage many popular platforms such as Airtable, Salesforce, Slack, Trello, and HubSpot If you are looking for someone passionate about process automation, I’m your guy. Whether you want to save a few minutes in your day by not having to copy/paste from one app to another, or you need a full blown onboarding workflow, I can help. I look forward to meeting you!
