AI Automation & Integration Expert | n8n, Make, API, CRM, LLM Systems

AI automation that survives production. My last build eliminated 2,500 hours/week of manual work and now runs over 1M executions a month at under a 0.01% failure rate. I build systems that replace headcount. Not chatbots that demo well and break in production. WHAT I HAVE SHIPPED A B2B outbound agency was running its entire pipeline by hand. I rebuilt it as a self-running system across EmailBison, Clay and HubSpot. It has generated over 12,000 positive replies to date and it is still running without me touching it, with a total revenue generated of over 50 million. A client support operation was answering the same questions manually every day. I connected Claude to their HubSpot and CRM so the system handles the repeat volume and escalates only what needs a human. A senior care provider needed reliable resident and family communication. I built the system that runs it. That contract ran four months. HOW I BUILD SO IT DOES NOT BREAK Most automation fails silently. It stops, nobody notices for three weeks, and the damage is already done. So I build for the failure case first. 1. Scoping call. I map your actual process and we agree on the numbers that define success. 2. Audit. I identify every automation opportunity and estimate the return on each one before you commit to any of them. 3. Build. No-code where no-code is correct, custom Node.js or Python where it is not. I test at your real volume, not at demo volume. 4. Error handling and alerting. Every workflow reports its own failures to a channel you watch. You find out from the system, not from an angry customer. 5. Handoff. Written documentation, a walkthrough session with your team, and the raw workflow exports. You own the build. 6. 30 days of monitoring after go-live, included. WHO THIS IS FOR Companies losing 20 or more hours a week to work a system should be doing. Teams that already tried a cheap build and watched it break. Operators who want the thing documented and handed over, not held hostage. Not a fit if you want a one-off script with no testing, or if the goal is a demo rather than something that runs on Monday. WHY ME AND NOT AN OFFSHORE BUILD I am in Calgary, on Mountain Time. You get same-day overlap with North American hours and you talk to the person who writes the code. There is no account manager between you and the build. WHAT I WORK WITH Workflow automation in n8n and Make. Custom Node.js and Python where the no-code tools run out of road. LLM integration with Claude, GPT and Gemini. CRM automation across HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Airtable and Close. Cold email infrastructure in EmailBison, SmartLead and Instantly. Databases in PostgreSQL and Supabase. HOW TO START Send me a message describing the process that is eating your week. I will record a free 3-minute audit of it and tell you exactly what I would build, what it would save, and what it would cost. If I do not think automation is the right answer, I will tell you that instead. If I build it and it does not hit the numbers we agreed in scoping, I keep working until it does.
