Overview / Bio If your team is still doing manually what a system could handle automatically, that's where I come in. I help businesses across e-commerce, logistics, SaaS, and beyond design automation systems that eliminate repetitive work, connect scattered platforms, and free up their teams to focus on what actually moves the needle. Whether you're losing hours to manual data entry, struggling with disconnected tools, or scaling faster than your processes can keep up, I've built the fix for all of it. What sets me apart: With a background in Economics and 4+ years building automation systems, I don't just wire up tools. I understand business processes. That means I ask the right questions before writing a single workflow, and I design systems that actually fit how your business operates. 200+ workflows deployed. Clients across multiple industries. Systems still running reliably long after handoff. What I can help you with: Workflow automation, n8n and Make (Integromat) end-to-end builds API integrations and webhooks, connecting platforms that weren't built to talk to each other ERPNext / Frappe customization, custom modules, doctypes, scripts, and configurations Multi-platform system design, one clean, unified operation across your entire stack Repetitive task elimination, if your team does it manually more than once, it can be automated Industries I work with: E-commerce · Logistics & supply chain · SaaS & tech operations · And businesses that don't fit a neat label but know they're losing time to broken processes. How I work: I start by mapping your full workflow, understanding your business logic, your team's pain points, and where time is actually being lost. Only then do I design and build automation around how you actually operate, not a generic template pulled from a tutorial. The result: reliable systems your team can depend on, maintain, and grow with, without needing to call me every time something changes. Ready to stop patching problems and start building systems? Send me a message describing your current workflow, and I'll tell you exactly where automation can make the biggest difference.

TOP-RATED PLUS | 99% Job Success | 41+ Projects | 7+ Years Experience 🚀 Senior Software Engineer | Low-Code & No-Code Architect | Systems Integration Factotum | DevOps Python | OpenClaw | Odoo | n8n | Make | Zapier | Power Automate | Airtable | Low-Code | No-Code I am a versatile Software Engineer and Integration Factotum who specializes in connecting bespoke software ecosystems, engineering custom data pipelines, and bridging the gap between completely isolated business applications using a hybrid mix of custom code, low-code, and no-code platforms. I build production systems that actually work in real business environments—not just setups that look good on paper. My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering, DevOps cloud infrastructure, and low-code/no-code workflow automation. If your current software platforms do not communicate with each other, I build the custom middleware, API configurations, and automated data pipelines that bridge them seamlessly. I specialize in less-code and hybrid automation development—leveraging agile no-code visual builders for speed, while writing native Python and JavaScript code to bypass platform limitations. Whether you need to integrate a customized Odoo ERP environment, orchestrate autonomous OpenClaw multi-agent AI workflows, sync relational no-code hubs like Airtable, or connect disparate platforms via n8n, Make, Zapier, or Power Automate, I design the "glue" that makes your entire tech stack function as a unified system. 🔧 CORE AREAS OF EXPERTISE 1. Low-Code & No-Code Workflow Automation (n8n, Make, Zapier, Power Automate) Multi-Platform Orchestration: Designing and maintaining complex, fault-tolerant, low-code automation pipelines using n8n (self-hosted or cloud), Make (Integromat), and Zapier. Enterprise Windows Automation: Utilizing Microsoft Power Automate to connect legacy desktop applications, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 environments with modern cloud platforms via low-code workflows. Hybrid "Less-Code" Systems: Writing custom Python and JavaScript scripts directly within n8n, Make, and Zapier workflows to bypass native no-code limitations, handle complex data loops, and bypass API rate limits. Rapid Prototyping: Deploying agile, maintenance-friendly no-code triggers and actions to automate manual business operations with minimal friction. 2. Relational No-Code Databases & E-Commerce Infrastructure (Airtable, Shopify, Ecwid) Airtable Database Architecture: Designing highly optimized relational schemas, advanced formulas, low-code scripting blocks, and native no-code automations inside Airtable to act as an operational backend or single source of truth. E-Commerce Pipeline Engineering: Syncing digital storefronts like Shopify and Ecwid with central inventory systems, tracking orders, managing customers, and automating downstream fulfillment. Unified Commerce Data Flows: Linking Shopify and Ecwid APIs to low-code tools like Airtable, HubSpot, Zoho, and Odoo via n8n and Make to eliminate manual data entry. 3. Bespoke Software, API Architecture & CRM Integration Custom Integration Frameworks: Connecting proprietary, legacy, or niche business applications that completely lack native, out-of-the-box low-code or no-code integrations. CRM Architecture & Syncing: Advanced API configuration, data mapping, and automated workflow development inside enterprise CRMs like HubSpot and Zoho. Cross-Platform Synchronization: Building bi-directional, real-time data syncs between HubSpot, Zoho, Odoo ERP, and external custom backends using webhooks, APIs, and low-code web controllers. 4. Enterprise Odoo ERP Customization & Core Development Full Odoo Deployments: Comprehensive Odoo ERP setups across Sales, Inventory, Purchase, CRM, Accounting, and Manufacturing. Custom Odoo Modules: Advanced Odoo development creating tailored Python models, XML views, and proprietary business logic when no-code features aren't enough. Odoo Integration Pipelines: Direct API connection linking Odoo to Airtable, Shopify, Ecwid, HubSpot, and Zoho using native endpoints, custom middleware, low-code n8n logic, or Zapier. 5. AI, LLM Integration & OpenClaw Agentic Frameworks Agentic AI Ecosystems: Building production-grade multi-agent AI networks and autonomous decision-making loops using OpenClaw. OpenClaw & Low-Code Hybridization: Integrating OpenClaw AI agents directly into low-code/no-code automation platforms like n8n, Make, and Zapier for intelligent document classification, data extraction, and routing. Contextual AI Pipelines: Feeding data from Airtable, HubSpot, Zoho, and Odoo directly into OpenClaw-driven RAG systems to build highly customized, domain-specific AI assistants. 6. Transactional & Marketing Email Automation (SendGrid, Mailchimp) Email Infrastructure Management: Setting up, configuring, and scaling SendGrid and Mailchimp APIs for reliable transactional and marketing delivery. Event-Driven Journeys: Building triggers (e.g., Shopify abandoned cart, Hu
