AI Systems Engineer | Claude Code, AI Agents, Automation & APIs

I build AI-powered business systems that automate operations, connect your tools, and turn manual processes into reliable, scalable workflows. I’m an AI Systems Engineer and Automation Specialist with a software development background, combining AI, automation, APIs, integrations, and custom software to solve business problems, not just connect a few apps. If you have a process that is repetitive, manual, fragmented across multiple tools, or difficult to scale, I can help you determine what should be automated, how the system should work, and then build it. What I Build AI Agents & AI Assistants: - AI agents for business operations - Customer support and internal AI assistants - Lead qualification, routing and follow-up - Research and data-processing agents - AI email workflows - Document and information processing - Human-in-the-loop workflows - Multi-step agentic systems Claude & AI Development: - Claude API integrations - Claude Code workflows - Claude-powered business assistants - AI agents and tool-use workflows - MCP / Model Context Protocol integrations - OpenAI and other LLM integrations - AI workflow design and implementation Business & Workflow Automation: - Business process automation - CRM and sales automation - Lead generation and follow-up - Customer onboarding - Reporting and notifications - Data synchronization - Email and communication automation - AI-powered operational workflows API & Systems Integration: - REST APIs - Webhooks - OAuth and authentication - Third-party API integrations - CRM integrations - Google Workspace - Shopify - WhatsApp - Custom integrations between business systems Custom Software & Internal Tools When a project requires more than an automation platform can provide, I can build the software layer behind it: - Custom APIs and backend services - Internal business applications - AI-powered dashboards - Admin and operator tools - Data-processing systems - Custom automation services - Database-backed applications - AI SaaS functionality - Custom integrations and connectors My Technology Stack: AI: Claude, Claude Code, Anthropic API, OpenAI API, AI Agents, MCP, RAG Automation: n8n, Make, Zapier Development: JavaScript, Python, Node.js, APIs, Webhooks, Custom Software Business Systems: CRMs, Airtable, Google Workspace, Google Sheets, Shopify, WhatsApp, Databases, Internal Tools Conversational AI: Botpress, ManyChat, AI Chatbots & Assistants Web: WordPress and custom web applications How I Approach Projects I don't start with: "Which automation tool should I use?" I start with: "What is the business trying to accomplish, and what should the system look like?" I can help with: 1. Process Discovery - Understand the current workflow, bottlenecks, repetitive work and automation opportunities. 2. Solution Architecture - Determine whether the right approach is AI, n8n, Make, Zapier, APIs, MCP, custom software, or a combination. 3. Implementation - Build the automation, AI agents, integrations, APIs and software required. 4. Testing & Reliability - Handle edge cases, errors, authentication, approvals, data flow and system reliability. 5. Documentation & Improvement - Make the system maintainable and ready to evolve as the business grows. The goal isn't just an automation that works once. It's a system that becomes part of how your business operates. Why My Software Background Matters Automation projects often start simple and become more sophisticated. A basic workflow may need Make or Zapier. A more advanced system may require an AI agent, API integration, database, custom backend, authentication, or internal application. I can handle that progression without requiring you to find another developer halfway through the project. My work sits at the intersection of: AI → Automation → APIs → Software → Business Operations Whether you know exactly what you want built or only know the problem you're trying to solve, I can help take it from problem → architecture → implementation → working system. Looking for a Long-Term Technical Partner? I'm particularly interested in working with businesses, agencies, and teams with an ongoing backlog of: AI automation Claude / Claude Code projects AI agents MCP integrations API integrations Internal tools CRM automation Business-process automation Custom software AI-powered operational systems If you know what you want built, I can build it. If you know the problem but not the solution, I can help architect it. Tell me what you're trying to automate, integrate, or build.
