William F.

I'm a forward deployed AI engineer. I embed with your team on a fractional basis and build what makes your systems and AI actually work together: integrations, AI agents, automations, and the internal tools your people use every day. Most teams I work with already have the software. The CRM, the ERP or accounting system, the spreadsheets, a few AI subscriptions. What they're missing is someone who sits close to the work, sees where people retype data or chase status by hand, and fixes it inside the systems they already run. How I work: - Embedded and ongoing: usually 10 to 15 hours a week. I work inside your tools, learn the workflow, and ship every week. - In your stack: n8n, Claude and OpenAI, MCP servers, Next.js, Supabase and Postgres, Python, plus your CRM, ERP, HubSpot, or Shopify. - Production-ready: error handling, monitoring, documentation, and a plain-English walkthrough for every build. - Reviewed: if you build with AI coding agents or started from a Lovable or Bolt MVP, I review and harden what ships so nothing goes live on the agent's say-so. Proof: - Co-founder and CTO of BFEAI: 7 production apps, Stripe subscription and credit billing, multi-tenant Postgres with row-level security, 6 AI engines. - Self-hosted n8n in production: 42 workflows, 11 live. - Custom MCP servers connecting Claude to CRMs, databases, and internal APIs. - Top Rated Plus on Upwork. Ongoing work is billed hourly at $125/hr. Not ready for an ongoing engagement? Start with an Automation Rescue Sprint: $1,200, 5 business days, your broken n8n, Make, or Zapier flows fixed, with alerts and runbooks. Send me two sentences on where your team still does things by hand. Within a day I'll tell you what I'd fix first and what it would take.
