Raul A.
Automation & Systems Developer
🧑💻 TOP RATED PLUS AUTOMATION DEVELOPER - Google Apps Script, n8n, AI, APIs, Cloud Databases & Google Sheets I have more than 5 years of experience developing a production application completely from scratch without AI assistance. That experience gave me a strong foundation in software architecture, problem-solving, debugging, optimization, and building reliable systems from the ground up. Now that AI is available, it has unlocked even more of my potential as an automation developer. I can combine my years of hands-on development experience with AI, automation platforms, APIs, databases, and Google Workspace to build solutions faster while still understanding and controlling the underlying code and architecture. I build tailored backend systems, scalable custom CRMs, internal business tools, data pipelines, and direct API integrations that eliminate manual work, streamline operations, and reduce unnecessary SaaS costs. 🗝️ CORE SPECIALTIES 👉🏻 Custom CRMs & Google Apps Script Solutions Leveraging deep expertise in Google Apps Script to build full-scale custom CRMs, automated document generation engines, internal tools, dashboards, approval workflows, email automation, and web applications directly within Google Workspace. 👉🏻 Google Sheets Formula Wizard 🧙♂️ Advanced Google Sheets is one of my strongest areas. I work extensively with QUERY, ARRAYFORMULA, FILTER, XLOOKUP, MAP, BYROW, BYCOL, LAMBDA, LET, dynamic arrays, and complex formula-based systems to turn Sheets into powerful business applications. 👉🏻 Cloud-Hosted Web Apps & Databases Designing scalable applications using Firebase, Supabase, PostgreSQL, and other cloud technologies with authentication, user roles, APIs, and structured databases when Google Sheets is no longer the right backend. 👉🏻 Direct API Integrations & E-Commerce Connecting Shopify, Meta Ads, Google Ads, GoHighLevel, Xero, QuickBooks, Kajabi, and other platforms directly through REST APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, JSON, and OAuth. 👉🏻 n8n & Workflow Automation Building complex, event-driven workflows using n8n, APIs, webhooks, Google Workspace, databases, and AI services. I design custom automation workflows that connect multiple systems and eliminate repetitive manual processes. 👉🏻 AI-Powered Automation Integrating Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude into business workflows for document processing, data classification, email analysis, grammar and spelling correction, intelligent routing, and other repetitive tasks. 👉🏻 BigQuery & Advanced Data Pipelines Processing larger datasets using Google BigQuery, Connected Sheets, Apps Script, and automated data pipelines for reporting, dashboards, and KPI tracking. 👉🏻 Google Workspace Administration Hands-on experience managing Google Workspace environments, including users, groups, organizational units, security policies, 2FA, Drive, Gmail, DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and Workspace migrations. 👏🏻 FEATURED SUCCESSES 🔹 Custom CRM Engineering (Apps Script & Cloud) Built tailored CRM systems and internal business applications ranging from Google Workspace/Apps Script solutions to cloud-based applications with databases, authentication, APIs, and role-based access. 🔹 E-Commerce Data Consolidation Bypassed expensive third-party data connectors by engineering direct Shopify, Meta Ads, and Google Ads API pipelines into Google Workspace dashboards. 🔹 LMS Certification Engine Engineered an automated certification platform connecting Kajabi to Google Workspace, automatically verifying student eligibility, generating branded PDF certificates, and emailing the final assets. 🔹 AI-Powered Lesson Management System Built a custom lesson-management system with automated document generation, email workflows, and Gemini-powered grammar and spelling checks. 🔹 Large-Scale Data & Reporting Systems Built automated data pipelines using Google Sheets, Apps Script, BigQuery, and Connected Sheets for large datasets and business reporting. My focus is always on delivering clean, maintainable backend logic that solves real business bottlenecks without unnecessarily inflating your tech stack.
