AI AUTOMATION EXPERT | n8n | Make com | Zapier | AI AGENTS | API INTEGRATION | GOHIGHLEVEL
If your business still relies on manual processes, disconnected tools, repetitive admin work, and slow lead follow-up, you're losing valuable time, leads, and revenue.
I design and build AI Automation systems, AI Agents, and Workflow Automation that turn manual operations into reliable, scalable systems. Using n8n, Make com, Zapier, GoHighLevel, APIs, Webhooks, and custom workflow logic, I connect your tools and add AI where it creates real value, qualifying leads, handling inquiries, drafting responses, triggering follow-ups, updating CRM records, and moving data automatically.
The goal isn't another collection of disconnected automations. It's a properly designed system that fits your business process and keeps critical workflows moving without constant manual intervention.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ WHAT I BUILD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔹 n8n Workflow Automation
Custom n8n workflows with branching logic, APIs, Webhooks, data processing, triggers, and multi-step logic.
Example: Form submission → data validation → AI lead qualification → CRM update → lead routing → automated follow-up.
🔹 Make com Automation
Custom Make com scenarios using triggers, filters, routers, conditional logic, and integrations.
Example: New lead → data processed → categorized → CRM record created → sales notification → follow-up.
🔹 Zapier Automation
Multi-step Zapier workflows connecting CRM, communication, productivity, and business applications.
Example: New customer → CRM update → onboarding workflow → team notification → scheduled follow-up.
🔹 AI Agents & AI Chatbots
AI systems for lead qualification, customer support, automated responses, and business workflows.
• AI qualifies prospects and routes qualified leads.
• Chatbot answers common questions and escalates complex requests.
• AI analyzes an inquiry, drafts a response, and triggers the next workflow.
🔹 AI Voice Agent Automation
AI voice workflows for lead qualification, appointment booking, follow-up, and CRM handoff.
Example: Incoming call → AI handles conversation → captures information → qualifies lead → updates CRM.
🔹 API Integration & Webhooks
REST APIs, Webhooks, custom integrations, data synchronization, and connections between systems without native integrations.
Example: Webhook event → data validation → business logic → multiple systems updated automatically.
🔹 GoHighLevel & CRM Automation
Lead capture, qualification, routing, nurturing, pipeline automation, and follow-up.
Example: New lead → tag → qualification → pipeline update → sales notification → automated follow-up.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 WHAT I AUTOMATE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✔ Lead capture, scoring, qualification & routing
✔ Sales follow-up and nurturing
✔ CRM updates and pipeline management
✔ Customer onboarding and support
✔ Appointment booking workflows
✔ AI chatbot and voice workflows
✔ Data synchronization between platforms
✔ Repetitive administrative processes
✔ Automated notifications and task creation
✔ Multi-step business workflows
✔ AI-powered decisions and responses
If your team repeatedly copies information, sends the same messages, updates CRM fields, or moves data between applications, that process can often be automated.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 WHY WORK WITH ME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
My full-stack development background lets me understand business processes, APIs, underlying systems, and custom logic when standard automation reaches its limits.
I map the workflow, identify bottlenecks, determine where AI adds value, design the architecture, integrate the systems, and build around the desired outcome.
The result: less manual work, faster lead response, connected systems, and scalable operations.

⭐ Top Rated | ⭐ 100% Job Success Score
⭐ 12+ Completed Engagements
Clients have reclaimed approximately 10–20 hours per week, reduced manual errors, and improved lead response from days to minutes.

I build AI automation systems on n8n, Make, GoHighLevel, and Airtable for service businesses and operators who are growing but being held back by manual work, broken workflows, and data they can't trust.
There's a difference between someone who can connect tools and someone who understands why those tools need to be connected. What's breaking down. Where revenue is leaking. What a working system actually has to do to hold up at scale.
I don't just build what you ask for. I diagnose what's actually broken first.
I work directly with business owners and operators — not as a subcontractor for agencies.
Recent builds:
A performance marketing agency was losing 3 to 4 hours a week manually logging into client Zoom accounts, counting calls, cross-checking GoHighLevel and spreadsheets, and eating disputed invoices because they had no proof of outcomes. Two to three other people had already tried to solve it.
We built a two-phase system: AI-powered call qualification that auto-classifies every call as billable or not with transcript evidence, connected to a full billing OS with a client portal, Stripe invoicing, dispute management, and enforcement logic — Airtable as the single source of truth. Result: $38,100 in verified billable revenue captured across 322 tracked meetings. Zero manual reconciliation.
"You're wasting a lot more time trying to fix this yourself than you would just working with Chad. Your time is worth more than that."
An HVAC company in Austin was answering every inbound call manually — no standardized intake, no automated booking, technicians getting routed back-to-back across the city without drive time built in. Emergency calls had no triage process.
We deployed an AI voice receptionist on Retell AI that handles the full intake flow: repairs, installs, maintenance, cancellations, reschedules, emergency triage, and spam filtering — all without a human touching the call. A calendar agent in n8n manages booking logic and drive-time buffering automatically. The phone is now answered 24/7 without staffing a full-time CSR.
A second Sway Digital engagement is currently in build: a full Ops Intelligence OS connecting Meta Ads, Microsoft Clarity, GoHighLevel, Airtable, and Zoom into a single source of truth. Every layer of the business — ad spend, landing page performance, lead journeys, investor outcomes, and billing — visible in one place. Built to run up to 10 clients without structural changes.
What I typically solve:
- Admin-heavy workflows eating founder or team time
- CRM data that's inconsistent, incomplete, or untrustworthy
- Billing and revenue tracking that can't survive a dispute
- No visibility into what's actually happening operationally
- Processes that break or need manual patching as you grow
- AI and voice systems that need to handle real-world edge cases
Stack: n8n · Make · GoHighLevel · Airtable · Retell AI · OpenAI · Softr · Stripe · Zoom · Meta Ads API · APIs and custom integrations
How engagements work:
1. I learn your goals, constraints, and what success actually looks like
2. Scope and plan: build roadmap, access checklist, and clear deliverables
3. Build, test, ship: regular updates and QA before handoff
4. 30-day post-launch support included: fixes and optimization at no extra charge
If you want someone to execute a spec, I'm probably not your person. If you want someone who can look at your operation, identify where the real problem is, and build something that holds up — let's talk.
Hit the green Send a message button, tell me what you're trying to fix, what tools you're on, and any deadlines. I'll ask a few targeted questions and we'll go from there.
