Hector L.
AI Systems & Automation Engineer
I help businesses solve operational problems with AI, automation, and practical software solutions. My strength is taking messy, manual, or unclear business processes and turning them into clean, reliable systems that save time, reduce errors, and make teams more efficient. I work best at the intersection of operations, AI, automation, and business strategy — understanding the real problem first, then choosing the right tools to solve it. I have experience building AI-powered workflows, CRM automations, conversational agents, webhook/API integrations, structured data pipelines, and internal tools using platforms like HubSpot, Retell AI, Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and custom code. What I can help with: • AI agents and chatbot workflows • HubSpot CRM automation and custom workflows • Zapier and Microsoft Power Automate systems • API and webhook integrations • Lead intake, qualification, and follow-up automation • Structured data extraction and record creation • Business process automation • Internal tool and workflow design • Prompt engineering and LLM workflow optimization • QA, debugging, documentation, and workflow improvement I’m a problem solver first. I don’t just build automations for the sake of automation — I look at how your business actually works, identify what is slowing you down, and create practical systems that make your operation smoother, faster, and easier to manage. Whether you need to automate a repetitive task, connect multiple platforms, build an AI-powered workflow, or simply figure out the best technical path forward, I bring the tools, curiosity, and execution needed to get it done.
