AI Automation Engineer & GoHighLevel (GHL) Systems Architect ​Most CRM automations break at scale because they are built using fragile, multi-app zaps with zero error-handling or API rate-limit protection. ​I engineer production-grade AI Lead Triage Engines, n8n / Makecom workflow architectures, and GoHighLevel (GHL) CRM automations designed to handle high lead volumes without dropping data or failing silently. ​If your sales team is losing revenue to slow response times, unvetted lead forms, or manual data entry, I replace those manual bottlenecks with automated, self-healing systems. ​🎯 Core Infrastructure I Build: ​Real-Time Speed-to-Lead Triage Engines ​Webhook-triggered n8n & Makecom pipelines integrated with OpenAI API & Claude API. ​Automatically parses, qualifies, and scores incoming webform/ad leads, triggering instant SMS/Email follow-ups and calendar booking within 30 seconds. ​GoHighLevel & HubSpot CRM Automation ​Custom pipeline architecture, automated appointment booking flows, multi-channel lead nurture sequences, and GHL snapshot setups. ​Custom API/Webhook hand-offs connecting CRMs to internal databases (Supabase, PostgreSQL). AI Agents & Conversational Voice/Chat Bots ​Integration of conversational AI agents (Vapi, Retell AI, OpenAI) into GoHighLevel CRM for 24/7 lead pre-qualification and automated booking. ​B2B Outbound Data & Enrichment Pipelines ​Custom Claycom waterfall enrichment setups integrated with Smartlead, Instantly, and CRM routing. Representative System Implementations: Automated Speed-to-Lead Engine: Rebuilt a broken Zapier pipeline into a dedicated n8n + OpenAI + GoHighLevel setup for a high-ticket service agency, cutting lead response time from 4 hours to 22 seconds and increasing booked calls by 34%. ​Enterprise Lead Enrichment System: Architected a multi-provider Clay com and Makecom workflow that enriched and verified 10,000+ monthly B2B leads while pushing clean, intent-scored data directly into HubSpot CRM. ​🛠️ System & Engineering Stack: Workflow Core: n8n (Self-Hosted & Cloud), Makecom, Zapier, Webhooks, REST APIs. AI & Developer Tools: OpenAI API (GPT-4o), Anthropic Claude, Vapi, Retell AI, Python, JavaScript ​📩 How to Initiate an Audit: ​Do not hire me if you just want simple glue-work. I build resilient, enterprise-grade automation infrastructure. ​If you have a broken CRM pipeline or want to eliminate manual operations in your lead intake, send me a direct message with a brief outline of your current tech stack and the bottleneck you're experiencing. I will map out the exact system fix.
