Shawn C.

I help businesses find where they are losing time and revenue, then I build the system that fixes it. Most of that work is automation, lead generation, and cold outreach, and I do the building myself instead of handing you a strategy deck. WHAT I HAVE BUILT AI receptionist product (current): I built the entire backend on self hosted n8n. Thirteen workflows act as the application's API layer, including a 173 node auth and billing flow, Stripe subscriptions with webhook signature verification and event deduplication, and a Postgres sales portal behind it. Outbound engine: sources businesses from public map data, resolves them to validated email addresses, personalizes every message per lead, sends through Instantly with one sender per campaign to protect deliverability, then pushes open and click data into a call queue so reps only phone people who just engaged. Around 154,000 businesses in the database. Internal tools: a rep dialer with tap to call, engagement ordered queues, and call dispositions that write straight back to the database. Plus admin dashboards and reporting. Trading automation for a derivatives firm, and a production web app for a finance media brand. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU - Cold email infrastructure that lands: domain setup, warmup, sender rotation, bounce guards, MX validation - Lead generation and enrichment pipelines, built from scratch or on top of your existing stack - n8n, Make, and Zapier automation, including self hosted production deployments - CRM cleanup, pipeline design, and reporting that tells you what is actually working - AI agents and LLM steps where they earn their place, not sprinkled everywhere - Internal dashboards and tools your team will actually use - API and database work: Supabase, Postgres, Stripe, and third party integrations HOW I WORK I start with your numbers and your process, not with a tool. Then I build the smallest thing that moves the metric, and I test the parts that cost money when they break. I scope in writing and work to a fixed price and a stated date. A kickoff and a handover meeting, written updates in between, and no standing calls, so the hours you pay for go into building rather than reporting. Before you hire anyone, send me the job. I will build a small working piece of it and send it back, yours to keep whether or not we work together. It answers the only question that matters faster than an interview does. Available for remote work, US business hours.
