Top 1 Percent Automation Architect | AI Agents, Python, Custom Code
Most operations teams do not have a software problem. They have twenty manual steps nobody wrote down, spread across six tools that were never meant to talk to each other. 🏆 Top 1% on Upwork in Automation, API Integration, Business Process Automation and Scripts & Utilities · Top 5% Python · 500+ systems delivered · $3M+ client ROI · 100% Job Success US-based automation architect, 10+ years shipping software. By Upwork's own ranking data, one of the top ~5 in the US for Business Process Automation out of 11,000+. I retire that manual work and rebuild it as custom software your business owns. No low-code platforms. No subscription traps. If your n8n, Make, or Zapier setup has outgrown itself, I convert it to plain code you own — off the per-task meter, tested, yours. 🔧 WHAT I BUILD 🤖 AI agents — planner, tools, memory, guardrails. The engineering around the model, not a prompt wrapper. ⚡ Full-stack apps and SaaS — React/Next, Python/Node, PostgreSQL, auth, billing, admin. 📊 Dashboards, portals and internal tools — data-heavy UIs built to your exact workflow. 🔗 Backend automation and API integrations — REST, webhooks, OAuth, scheduled jobs across the tools your operations already run on. 📈 RECENT PROJECTS → AI RFP agent — 80–95% complete responses drawn from past proposals and pricing. Saving $200k+/yr. → Lead enrichment engine — discovery, scoring and CRM sync for UHNW targeting. Over $1M ROI/yr. → Document intelligence pipeline — PDF and PPT to embeddings to semantic search. 30+ hrs/week back. 🛠️ Python · TypeScript · React/Next · FastAPI · Node · PostgreSQL · Redis · Claude · GPT · RAG/pgvector · HubSpot · Salesforce · GoHighLevel · Stripe · Playwright · Docker · AWS/GCP 💬 HOW I WORK ✅ Free scoping call — you talk to the architect, not an account manager ✅ Architecture before code, and an honest cost up front ✅ You own the code — your repo, your infrastructure, no lock-in ✅ Documented and supported after launch — ongoing retainers welcome 🎯 Message me the process you're sick of doing by hand. I'll tell you the architecture, the real cost, and whether you even need custom work. 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀.
