AI Automation Expert | n8n, Make, Zapier, API, AI Agents, Chatbots

I help small businesses automate the repeatable admin work that slows down sales, follow-up, onboarding, and reporting. Send me a message or an invitation and I'll send you back a personalized Loom video showing exactly how I'd automate your process. No charge, no pitch call required. TWO SYSTEMS I'VE BUILT AND SHIPPED A social media posting automation for a home care agency. Live in production and in daily use. The office stopped posting by hand entirely. Built with Node.js and an API-driven scheduling queue, plus an evergreen content engine that cycles hundreds of approved posts and resets itself when the library runs out. A caregiver hiring response system in n8n. An applicant applies, gets a qualified response in under 5 minutes, books their own interview, and lands on a status tracker. Staff only get notified when a human decision is actually needed. Deterministic routing where reliability matters, AI classification only where judgment adds value. WHY ME • 100% Job Success Score | 5.0 average rating • Multiple automation systems deployed and running in production • n8n, Make, Zapier, plus custom API and webhook integrations • Node.js and JavaScript, so I'm not limited to what no-code tools can reach • 3 years on an enterprise web platform troubleshooting other people's broken implementations • Fixed scope in writing, documented handoff, no surprise invoices My background is in building websites for service businesses, so I understand the front end of the customer journey: landing pages, contact forms, quote requests, booking flows. Now I focus on what happens after that, making sure leads get routed, followed up with, organized, and reported on without everything depending on manual work. WORKFLOWS I BUILD MOST - Lead intake and routing - Follow-up sequences after a form submission or call booking - Inbox and request triage - Proposal and quote workflows - Client onboarding steps - Weekly reporting and status updates - Connecting website forms to the tools your team already uses - AI-assisted classification, drafting, and summarizing with human review built in - Custom internal tools, dashboards, and small apps around a specific workflow Most automation freelancers stop where no-code stops. If your workflow needs a real interface around it, a client portal, an internal dashboard, or a tool your team actually logs into, I build that too in Node.js, React, and Next.js. Automation first, and an app only where the workflow genuinely needs one. HOW I WORK I identify the highest-value workflow to fix first, then build around your current process instead of trying to replace everything. Every system I ship has error handling, duplicate handling, a manual override, and a human in the loop on anything that touches a customer. You get documentation and a walkthrough video so your team runs it without me. A good first step is a fixed-price AI Workflow Audit. I map your current process, identify your top 3 automation opportunities, rank them by likely business value, and tell you what to build first and what it costs. Hire me to build it and the audit fee comes off the project. Send me the process you want to kill and I'll tell you straight whether automation is the right answer for it. 🔧 EXPERTISE: AI Automation | n8n | Make | Integromat | Zapier | API Integration | Webhooks | AI Agents | Chatbot Development | ChatGPT Integration | Claude | Prompt Engineering | LLM Implementation | Workflow Automation | Business Process Automation | CRM Automation | Airtable | Google Sheets Automation | Node.js | JavaScript | Email Automation | Lead Generation Automation
