Erik M.
US-Based AI SaaS Engineer | AI Agents, Automation, Next.js, Supabase
🚀 AI Automation & SaaS Engineering I build AI and automation software for small businesses and ship it to production. Most recently, I rebuilt a delivery contractor's background-check filing system in Python so it files every ten minutes and alerts the owner's phone when anything stalls. 🌟 Recent Client Work ✅ Background-check filing automation (Python, Selenium, Supabase): a duplicate guard that stopped 12 duplicate orders on its first live run, plus 195 automated tests ✅ AI script pipeline for a content creator (Next.js, Supabase, Claude): I recalibrated the AI hook scorer, and the client's average draft rating rose from about 2.5 to 4.0 ✅ Meeting-prep app for an advisory client (Next.js, Supabase): deployed in August with the client's account live ✅ Marketing site with a private publishing CMS for a cybersecurity consultancy (Next.js, Postgres) 🌟 How I Can Help ✅ AI SaaS and MVP development ✅ AI agents and workflow automation, built in code ✅ Claude & OpenAI integrations ✅ Python automation, browser automation and data extraction ✅ API and database integrations ✅ Custom Next.js websites with a built-in CMS 🌟 Tools & Technologies Claude, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Sase, Vercel. I handle the whole build: planning, architecture, development, testing, deployment and support. I build with AI coding tools and test each build before I hand it over. 🌟 Experience & Certifications ✅ 12 years at the Associated Press and Ross Video, integrating newsroom software and training the journalists who used it ✅ AWS Solutions Architect Associate (previously certified) ✅ AWS SysOps Administrator Associate (previously certified) ✅ AWS Cloud Practitioner (previously certified) 🌟 Who I Work With I work best with founders and small businesses who want one person to own a project from idea to working product. I'm based in Washington, DC. If you're building an AI product or automating a business process, send me a message and tell me what you're working on.
