I’ve built automation systems for a $𝟐.𝟏𝐁 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 (𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚.𝐚𝐩𝐩), 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝟕-𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 — I help teams identify operational bottlenecks, eliminate manual work, cut operating costs, and scale without adding headcount. 𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧: 📈 Helped a law firm go from 2-3 intakes per week to 25+ without adding any headcount. (10x growth) 📈 Gamma.app: Built custom n8n, Make, and Zapier templates for their API launch. 📈 $1M+/year coaching company: Built its complete n8n backend, saving the team 10+ hours per week and thousands per month in operating costs. 📈 Custom Law Firm Intake Platform: Built a custom intake management system with an admin dashboard, secure data handling, and end-to-end automations. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐖𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐝𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 ❌ Use generic, one-size-fits-all templates that break the moment your process changes. ❌ Tell you something is possible just to win the project when it realistically isn’t. ❌ Overcomplicate your systems with unnecessary tools, software, or moving parts. ❌ Build automations that look impressive but don’t save time, reduce costs, or improve operations. ❌ Cut corners on reliability, security, or maintainability just to get something shipped faster. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐝𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 ✅ Help you identify the real bottlenecks slowing down your operations. ✅ Build custom automations around your existing software stack, workflows, and goals. ✅ Design systems that save time, reduce manual work, and create measurable business value. ✅ Communicate clearly about what’s possible, what isn’t, and the best way to approach the build. ✅ Build with reliability, maintainability, and long-term usability in mind. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐃𝐎 I specialize in n8n automation, Claude, Claude Code, AI automation, API integrations, custom software, and CRM systems. I combine n8n + Claude Code to build systems that go far beyond basic tool-to-tool automation. That means I can build complete solutions involving: ✅ n8n automation workflows ✅ Claude and Claude Code systems ✅ AI agents and AI automation ✅ Custom dashboards and internal tools ✅ CRM and intake automation ✅ Databases and backend logic ✅ Document and reporting automation ✅ Lead qualification and follow-up systems ✅ Custom software connected directly to your existing stack The goal is to find the parts of your business that waste time, create bottlenecks, or require repetitive manual work — then build the right system to fix them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤖 SYSTEMS I BUILD AI + n8n Automation Custom n8n workflows, Claude integrations, AI agents, and automation systems for data processing, communication, reporting, document generation, lead management, and internal operations. Claude Code + Custom Software Using Claude Code, I build custom dashboards, admin portals, internal tools, client portals, databases, APIs, and software interfaces tailored around your workflow. CRM + Intake Automation I build automation systems for lead capture, qualification, follow-up, appointment booking, CRM routing, onboarding, and pipeline management using tools like n8n, GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Airtable, Claude, and APIs. API + Backend Automation I connect your existing software through n8n, APIs, webhooks, databases, Claude Code, JavaScript, and Python to eliminate manual steps and create reliable backend systems. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟢 LEAN SIX SIGMA GREEN BELT I’m also Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certified, which means I’m trained to identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, improve processes, and solve operational bottlenecks using a structured methodology. Before I build with n8n, Claude, Claude Code, or custom software, I look at the underlying workflow first. ✅ What steps are unnecessary? ✅ Where are delays or errors happening? ✅ Where will automation create the biggest business impact? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧰 TOOLS n8n · Claude · Claude Code · Make · OpenAI API · Anthropic Claude API · Supabase · PostgreSQL · Airtable · GoHighLevel · HubSpot · Google Workspace · Slack · Twilio · Stripe · REST APIs · Webhooks ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I focus on building automation systems that solve real business problems If your team is spending hours on repetitive work, dealing with disconnected systems, or struggling with a process that should be automated: 📩 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞. I’ll help you determine whether the right solution is n8n automation, Claude, Claude Code, AI automation, custom software, an API integration — or a combination of them.
