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!
