I build, audit and rescue automation systems where failures have real financial consequences. Your automation either makes money or loses it quietly. I find out which, fix what's broken, and build what should exist in business workflows and trading systems. 30+ years in engineering, two decades of pricing risk in heavy industry. 174 Upwork contracts. 100% Job Success and 15+ years building automated trading systems. My advantage is not simply knowing how to code an automation. I know how to find where a system can fail, what that failure is costing, and whether it should be repaired, automated or rebuilt. BUSINESS SYSTEMS & REVENUE AUTOMATION Most business-system failures aren't inside one app. They're in the handoff — Lead → CRM → salesperson → appointment → quote → customer → invoice. That is where leads go unassigned, follow-ups are missed, data is copied manually, integrations fail silently, a lot of time is spent in manual activities and nobody notices, but ultimately these result in lost revenue. I trace those handoffs, put a number on what each gap costs, and prioritize fixes by cost, risk and payback. Then I can implement the solution using automated lead routing, CRM automation, n8n/Make workflows, Python, APIs, webhooks, dashboards, monitoring. Sometimes the fix is an AI agent. Sometimes it's a validation rule or a scheduled sync. I recommend whichever one actually solves it. AI AUTOMATION — RELIABILITY, AUDIT & RESCUE Anyone can assemble an AI workflow fast now. The harder question is whether it still does the right thing when nobody is watching. I rescue automations that pass a demo and fail in production — silent API errors, double-fired retries, bad CRM writes, no error handling. I reproduce the failure, tell you fix-or-rebuild, and add the controls that make it hold: validation, retries, guardrails, logging, alerting, human escalation. Stack: n8n, Make, Python, REST APIs, OpenAI/LLM APIs, Vapi, Twilio, CRM integrations. MT4 / MT5 TRADING SYSTEMS 15+ years building automated trading systems. Trading my own live accounts since 2013, I've watched strategies fail against real broker conditions, not just a clean backtest. I build MT4/MT5 EAs and indicators: multi-timeframe systems, market structure and supply/demand logic, session filters, grid/recovery logic, drawdown protection, broker-specific execution handling. Plus the risk layer: position sizing off real tick value, daily loss limits, drawdown cut-outs, prop-firm rule engines that block a trade before it violates the rules. Python + MT5 integrations for signal ingestion, historical data, backtesting, Telegram/webhook integration. EA AUDIT & RESCUE I audit trading systems someone else started. With increasing AI-generated codes that compile clean but lose money: wrong lot sizing, off-by-one indexing, entries on unfinished candles, backtests that don't survive contact with a live broker. I reproduce the failure and tell you plainly: fix it, or don't spend more on it. Written findings either way. HOW I WORK Milestone-based, spec agreed before code. You get source, documentation, and implementation notes (not a black box you can't maintain). Trading work is validated in Strategy Tester; automations are tested on failure paths, not just the happy path. If you have a workflow leaking leads or time, an AI automation that isn't reliable, or an MT5 system that needs to be built or rescued, send me the details. You'll get my technical read before you commit to anything larger or spend money fixing.
