**You're running a business, not a tech company. But somewhere along the way, your tools stopped talking to each other. Your inbox became a full-time job. Your marketing needs constant attention. And your team keeps answering the same questions over and over.**
**You don't need another tool. You need a partner who understands your business first — and then builds the right system around it.**
I'm Dalibor, founder of DEXPERT — an AI automation agency in Germany. I've been running my own businesses for over 15 years: automotive services, real estate, and AI consulting. I started automating because I had the same problems you have. Too many manual processes, too little time, too many things falling through the cracks.
Today, my entire operation runs on a 12-agent AI system I built myself. Finance, marketing, legal, property management, email, documents — each handled by a specialized AI agent, all orchestrated through a central control plane. It's not theoretical. It runs every day, on real data, for real businesses.
**I bring that experience to every client engagement.** We start with your actual workflow — not a template. We figure out together where AI makes sense, where simple automation is enough, and where you just need a better process. Then we build it step by step, with you testing and giving feedback at every stage.
——— WHAT WE CAN BUILD TOGETHER ———
🤖 **AI Chatbots & Virtual Assistants** — Your customers get instant answers 24/7. Leads get qualified. Appointments get booked. Your team handles only what truly needs a human. Built for your website, WhatsApp, or Telegram — connected to your CRM and calendar.
📧 **Email & Inbox Automation** — AI sorts, labels, and routes your emails. Invoices go to accounting. Client requests get instant replies. Follow-ups happen on schedule. I've taken inboxes from 200+ daily emails down to 20 that actually need attention.
📈 **AI-Powered Marketing** — Research agents find trends and opportunities. Content agents create blog posts, social media, and newsletters. Distribution agents schedule and publish. All running on autopilot with your approval before anything goes live.
🔄 **System Integration & Sync** — Your CRM, calendar, email, chat, and documents — all connected. A change in one place updates everything else. No more copy-pasting between tools, no more "I forgot to update the spreadsheet."
📊 **Business Operating Systems** — Complete workspaces that serve as your company's central nervous system: CRM, project management, content calendars, finance tracking, document libraries. All automated and interconnected.
🧠 **Multi-Agent AI Systems** — For businesses ready to go further: multiple specialized AI agents working as a team. A Finance Agent handling bookkeeping. A Marketing Agent creating content. A Legal Agent tracking deadlines. All managed through Paperclip as the control plane — with goal tracking, cost control, quality gates, and approval workflows. Production-grade, self-hosted, GDPR-compliant.
——— HOW I WORK ———
Every engagement starts with a conversation — not a proposal template. I want to understand:
- What's eating your time right now?
- What falls through the cracks?
- What tools do you already use (and which ones frustrate you)?
- What would "working smoothly" actually look like for your business?
From there, we build a plan together. First version typically within 3-5 days so you can see something real, give feedback, and steer the direction. No big reveal after 3 months — you're involved every step of the way.
——— TECH STACK ———
Paperclip (AI Control Plane), OpenClaw, n8n, Flowise, Claude API, OpenAI API, Notion API, WhatsApp Business API, Google Workspace, Gmail API, Google Calendar API, Google Ads, WordPress, Cal (Scheduling), PostgreSQL, Docker, Hetzner Cloud, Coolify, Paperless-ngx
——— WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME ———
✓ I eat my own cooking — my businesses run on the exact systems I build for clients
✓ Business owner first, developer second — I understand ROI, cashflow, and "what actually matters"
✓ Your data, your server — self-hosted, no vendor lock-in, GDPR-compliant
✓ Fast feedback loops — first working version in 3-5 days, not 3 months
✓ Based in Germany — EU timezone, fluent English + German + Serbian
✓ Long-term partner, not a one-off contractor — I stick around because the system needs to grow with your business
**Tell me what's not working in your business right now. I'll reply with honest thoughts on what can be automated, what shouldn't be, and a rough plan to get there. No jargon, no overselling — just a conversation between two business owners.**

Stop hiring Virtual Assistants to solve Engineering problems.
If you are looking for someone to manually enter data or send generic emails, I am not the right fit.
I am the Principal of North Star Signals, a GTM Engineering firm. I architect and deploy the Revenue Operating Systems that power high-growth B2B sales teams. My clients are not buying my time; they are buying a proprietary infrastructure that automates 90% of their top-of-funnel grunt work.
The "North Star" Methodology: Most companies fail at outbound because of "Context Decay"—bad data, broken logic, and generic messaging. I fix this by treating your GTM motion as a software product, not a list of tasks.
My Core Architecture:
Advanced Clay Waterfalls: I don't just "find emails." I build complex logic trees that waterfall through multiple providers (Apollo, Prospeo, Datagma), normalize job titles using LLMs (OpenAI), and score leads based on "Why Now" signals before they ever touch your CRM.
HubSpot Architecture & Revenue Logic: Most HubSpot instances are a graveyard of messy data and broken reports. I turn your CRM into a high-fidelity Source of Truth. I specialize in architecting complex property schemas, automating lifecycle stage progressions (MQL to SQL), and building "Guardrail" workflows that prevent sales reps from entering bad data. I don't just add fields; I build the logic that makes your pipeline accurate and forecastable.
Human-in-the-Loop Logic: Automation is dangerous without verification. I build "Exception Loops" where low-confidence data is automatically routed to a manual review queue and fed back into the system, ensuring zero drift in your CRM.
The Tech Stack:
Enrichment: Clay, Apollo, BuiltWith.
Orchestration: n8n, Zapier, Make (Webhooks & API Integrations).
CRM: HubSpot (Enterprise/Ops Hub), Salesforce.
Execution: Smartlead, Instantly.
Who I Work With: I partner with VC-backed startups, Sales Agencies, and Fractional VPs of Sales who need enterprise-grade infrastructure.
I accept a limited number of retainer and project-based engagements. If you are ready to stop guessing and start engineering your revenue, let’s talk.
