Top 1% AI Voice and Automation Architect. 15+ large automation systems, 30+ multilingual Voice AI Agents over last 3 years across multiple industries.
I automate small businesses that rely heavy on conversational AI - Voice AI agents, SMS, emails, chatbots. Keeping everything together in CRM with clean reports.
My clients come usually from home services, car rentals, real estate and similar business - they have solid business, good reviews but stuck in operations.
My approach:
1. Architecture first. With AI, executing the actual automation is much easier now. The hard part is designing the system right from the start - that’s why I focus a lot on understanding your business and plan priorities with you.
2. Weekly deployments. I structure the project into weekly iterations so you get value as soon as possible and we get users feedback.
3. AI-native documentation. Everything I build is documented in a format your own AI assistant (Claude or ChatGPT) can read. I connect it directly to your assistant so your team can just ask it.
Voice Agents for inbound and outbound systems. I build reliable, production ready agents:
- Low latency, high accuracy
- Highly personalized calls - pull data from your CRM/DB before call
- Multilingual (English, Spanish, French, Arabic)
- Multiple industries (Home Services, Automotive, Recruiting, Healthcare)
- Connected to ecosystem(CRMs, Calendars, PBX/VOIP systems/SIP)
- Qualifications, Objection Handling, Appointments, Call Transfers, SMS
The stack I work with:
- WebRTC/Pipecat/Livekit/Ultravox for complex agents
- Retell, Elevenlabs, VAPI for simple agents
- n8n, make, zapier for automations
- MCP servers to connect system with Claude/GPT assistants
- Claude Code for rapid development in Python and JS
- Twilio, Telnyx, custom SIP trunks
- GoHighLevel, Hubspot, Zoho, Pipedrive
- Clay, Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead
- Supabase, Airtable, Clickup
I'm bringing my 14 years software engineer, devops, tech lead experience to build Voice agents in a proven, agile and modern approach:
- Evaluations driven development. Building Voice Agents based on datasets of multiple scenarios on how real conversations might go(qualifications, obj. handling, appointments, etc)
- Versioning agents and automations in Github
- Fine tuning/dynamic flows for complex agents
- Kubernetes for custom deployments and handling of 100+ calls concurrently
Languages I worked with when building Voice Agents:
- English
- French(Quebec)
- Spanish
- Gulf Arabic
- Dutch
I have own toolset/frameworks to build and evaluate voice ai agents rapidly.

AI Automation & CRM Expert | n8n, GoHighLevel (GHL), AI Agents
Mississauga, Canada
$25/hr$25 per hour5.0 (4) 7 jobs $700+ total earnings
I build and fix CRM and AI automations that capture leads, qualify them, book appointments, update pipelines, and keep follow up moving. My core work is in n8n, GoHighLevel (GHL), HubSpot, Retell, Vapi, Make, Zapier, APIs, and webhooks.
Most of my work falls into two areas: fixing existing systems that are unreliable or difficult to maintain, and building complete automation systems from scratch.
What I can help with:
CRM automation: Lead routing, pipeline stages, contact matching, deduplication, field updates, follow up logic, tasks, notifications, and reporting.
AI voice and chat agents: Inbound and outbound agents for lead qualification, appointment booking, objection handling, CRM updates, human handoff, and tool or function calls.
Workflow automation: n8n, Make, and Zapier workflows connecting CRMs, forms, calendars, databases, AI models, messaging channels, and internal tools.
API and webhook integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, JSON payloads, authentication, data mapping, retries, error paths, and synchronization between systems.
CRM setup and cleanup: GoHighLevel (GHL), HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Monday, and Airtable, including pipelines, fields, workflows, lead management, and system migrations.
I have 18+ years of experience across software, systems, solution consulting, pre sales, and automation. That background helps when a project involves more than connecting two apps and requires understanding how the CRM, automation, AI, data, and business process should work together.
I can help with a single broken workflow, an API issue, or a larger system involving multiple tools. I work directly on the implementation, test the important edge cases, and make sure the logic is understandable when the project is handed over.
I also work with OpenAI, Claude, ElevenLabs, Twilio, Supabase, Node.js, Python, MongoDB, and custom REST APIs when the workflow needs functionality beyond standard no code actions.
If something is already broken, send me the current setup and where it is failing. If you are building from scratch, send me the process you want automated and the systems involved. I can usually identify the main technical considerations quickly.
