I build AI systems that bring in and keep customers: AI receptionists that book jobs, fast lead follow-up, retention, and the training so your team runs them. Claude Certified Architect and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. I co-built a real-time AI platform that ran 500+ live conversations last month, and I teach 1,100+ developers to ship production AI agents on YouTube (66,000+ views). Before AI, I sold solar: real appointments, real closes. So I build around what moves your numbers: hours saved, leads answered, deals closed. Not tech for its own sake. I'm also recording a 20-lesson production agentic AI engineering course (LangChain, LangGraph) for a client here on Upwork. What I build: - Claude rollouts for teams: set up on your real work, custom skills, and hands-on training until it sticks - AI agents that do real work: research, lead sourcing, inbox triage, reporting, using Claude, OpenAI and your own tools - Automations in n8n or code (Python, FastAPI, Next.js) that connect your CRM, email, sheets and APIs - RAG systems that answer from your own documents, with sources - Voice agents and AI receptionists that answer the phone, book appointments and hand off to a human - Claude Code builds: internal tools, MVPs, and custom skills for your team How I work: before you spend anything, I usually build a small first version of what you asked for, so you can see the approach instead of reading about it. Then we scope the real thing together. I'm newer to Upwork, so my reviews are still catching up to my work. Happy to share any build from the channel or walk you through one live.
