Forward Deployed Engineer | AI Automation (Airtable, Make, n8n)

I embed directly with your team, map your actual workflows, and build high-impact AI systems that scale your operations—then I train your team so you aren't dependent on me. Most companies have adopted AI, but very few see real bottom-line impact. That gap is rarely a technology problem; it’s an execution problem. Licenses get handed out without adoption, outside consultants ship brittle automations that break when processes change, or teams build "skills" nobody ever uses. Over 194 contracts, 5,300+ tracked hours, and a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork, I've seen these exact failure modes. My approach fixes them: Workflow Discovery: I join live working sessions with your team to capture how the work actually gets done. Owned Systems: I build reusable, versioned AI skills and automations that belong entirely to your company. Production Integration: I wire automations into your core tools (CRM, mail, docs, tickets, APIs) with enterprise-grade security, access controls, and clear audit trails. Team Handoff: I train an internal champion so your team continues iterating and building long after our engagement ends. Real ROI: We measure success on adoption depth and hours saved—not vanity metric skill counts. I do the hands-on engineering myself across Airtable, Make, n8n, Zapier, and custom code. Security, data privacy, and role-based access are built in from day one. Send me a message with where your team's operational bottlenecks are today, and let's map out what the next 6 to 12 weeks look like.
