If your operation runs like some version of copy-pasting, spreadsheets, and someone remembering to follow up, that's what I fix. I build production-grade automations and AI systems (n8n, Claude Code, AI agents, CRM integrations) that replace manual work, cut costs, and stop revenue from leaking through the cracks. My process is simple: map your workflow, kill the steps that shouldn't exist, then automate what's left. I'm a business operator first and an automation engineer second. I spent 9 years at a startup that grew from $1M to nearly $50M, as the person sent department to department to maximize ROI through automation. That means you get the simplest build that produces the result, not the most impressive-looking one. Recent results: - Developed an automated project manager for a $30M/yr manufacturer supplying national retail chains, where one manual scheduling mistake had already cost them $200K. Their delivery and production schedules across 7 facilities in the US and Mexico now sync automatically, saving roughly 15 hours per week and eliminating scheduling errors entirely. The project became an ongoing retainer. - Built an AI voice system that makes 50,000+ outbound calls per week and books appointments automatically, generating $5.8M in deal pipeline. Tell me which process is eating your team's hours and I'll reply with exactly how I'd automate it. ----- Tools & Platforms: Automation: n8n, Claude Code, Make AI Voice & Chat: Vapi, Eleven Labs, Retell LLMs: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Deepseek, OpenRouter Databases: Supabase, Airtable, Notion, Qdrant, Pinecone CRMs & Marketing: GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Manychat, Instantly APIs, Webhooks & Custom Dev
