AI Workflow Automation & CRM Integrations | Make Advanced, Claude MCP

I build AI automations that move work between the systems a company already runs on — Salesforce, CRMs, email, phone, documents, internal apps — so data lands where it belongs without anyone copying and pasting. Most of my work looks like one of these: → AI agents with real tool access. A Claude-based agent wired directly into Salesforce via SOQL, answering relationship and pipeline questions in plain English instead of someone building another report. → LLM email and document processing. Classification and extraction pipelines that read inbound mail, pull out what matters, and write it straight into CRM records. → Enrichment and alerts. Pipelines that fill in company and contact details on new leads, and notices that put the right record in front of the right person in Slack or email when something changes. → Automated briefings. A Python service that pulls meeting transcripts, generates AI summaries, and routes follow-ups to the right place. → Systems integration. Make (Advanced certified), Python, and custom code connecting Salesforce, Monday, Twilio, Google Workspace, MySQL, and whatever else is in the stack. I work best with small and mid-sized companies that need a senior person on call — not a full-time hire, and not an agency with a project manager sitting between you and the work. Most clients start with one problem and stay; my longest current engagement is 550+ hours and still running. I'm also a specialist in SugarCRM and SuiteCRM — 12+ years of custom modules, logic hooks, API work, upgrades, and commercial add-ons published in the official marketplaces. If your project touches Sugar or Suite internals, it's unlikely I haven't already solved it. Based in Spokane, WA. US hours, native English, and I'll tell you when AI isn't the right tool rather than build it quietly. If you have a process held together by manual steps, send me a short description and I'll tell you whether it's worth automating.
