Stop Doing Work Your Business Should Do For Itself
I build AI-powered systems that automate the repetitive work in your business -- so you can stop being the bottleneck in your own operation.
Services
What I Build
Systems that save you time and money -- no bloat, no black boxes.
Workflow Automation
Connect your tools, eliminate repetitive tasks, and build systems that run without you. From email routing to inventory sync -- if you do it more than twice, I can automate it.
AI Integration
AI that classifies, routes, drafts, and decides -- so you don't have to. Plugs into your existing tools without replacing them.
Custom Web Tools
Dashboards, client portals, and internal tools built to solve a specific problem. No bloated platforms, no features you'll never use.

What I've Built
Real systems, tested in production on a live operation, with measurable outcomes.
AI Email Triage System
A business owner spending 45 minutes every morning sorting emails. This system handles all of it the moment an email arrives -- AI classifies it, logs it, pings the right channel, and responds to leads in under 60 seconds.

Shopify x eBay Inventory Sync
Selling on two platforms means overselling is inevitable -- until now. This bidirectional sync updates eBay quantity the moment Shopify inventory changes (and vice versa), with anti-loop logic to prevent runaway updates.

Workflow Library
A repository of robust, modular n8n workflows built for real-world operations. View the technical implementations on GitHub.
AI Abandoned Cart Recovery
Shopify native abandoned cart is one generic email. This runs a multi-touchpoint sequence: email at 30 min, email at 24 hours, SMS at 48 hours for high-value carts -- all AI-personalized based on cart contents.
Stale Listing Reviver
eBay listings with zero watchers die in the Cassini algorithm. Every week this workflow identifies stale inventory, regenerates titles with AI, refreshes pricing, and relists -- recovering 20-30% of dead inventory automatically.
Book Listing Pipeline (Barcode to eBay)
Scan a book barcode, AI enriches the metadata from Google Books + Open Library, listing pushes to eBay in under 60 seconds. Replaces ~15 minutes of manual data entry per listing.
AI Buyer Message AutoResponder
Customer messages get classified by an AI (simple question, order inquiry, complaint, price negotiation) and auto-answered when confidence is high. Complex messages escalate to you with AI-drafted reply suggestions.
Lead to HubSpot with AI Scoring
Lead webhook comes in, Gemini scores 1-10 and summarizes the interest, hot leads (score > 7) route to priority branch, HubSpot contact + follow-up task created automatically, Slack alert for hot leads.
Sales + Profit Dashboard
Shopify/eBay analytics show revenue. They don't show margin. This pulls orders, applies COGS per SKU, calculates fees + shipping + net profit, writes to a live dashboard -- so you know what you're actually making.
Listing Health Monitor
Scans listings daily: thin photos, oversized titles, missing item specifics, pricing outliers. Flags each listing red/yellow/green. Digest to Slack every morning -- fix what's killing your conversions before it costs you sales.
Sourcing Deal Finder
Scans eBay active listings vs sold comps, scores potential profit, surfaces top deals to Slack every morning. Turns 20 hours of manual sourcing into 10 minutes reviewing a pre-filtered list.
AI-Powered Lead Capture Pipeline
Form submission → AI summarizes the lead's bottleneck + automation ask → CRM entry created → admin alert + thank-you email with Cal.com booking link sent in under 15 seconds. Zero leads lost to inbox chaos.
Therapy Referral Routing
A clinic manually matching patients to therapists by specialty, insurance, and availability. This workflow takes an intake form, runs AI matching, and sends the referral to the right provider -- with a confirmation to the patient in under a minute.

How It Works
Audit
We map your workflows and find the time sinks. You'll know exactly where the hours go before we write a single line of automation.
Build
You see progress and test as we go. No black box, no 'trust us' -- you're involved at every step.
Deploy
Live in your environment with monitoring, documentation, and error handling baked in. Not a prototype -- production-ready.
Optimize
We track performance and tune. When your business changes, your automations adapt with it.
About
Built by Someone Who Runs a Business, Not an Agency
I build automations because I run a small business myself and got tired of doing the same tasks over and over. This isn't about impressing other developers with the latest framework -- it's about practical systems that generate real value.
You work directly with me -- not an account manager, not a junior dev. One person who knows your business and builds accordingly. When something needs to change, you talk to the person who built it.
You own everything. The workflows, the code, the documentation. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platforms, no surprises. If you want to walk away, you take it all with you.

For You
Who This Is For
If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
Running Across Multiple Systems
Your business runs across a stack of platforms -- orders, clients, messages, inventory, spreadsheets. Things fall out of sync and you're the human glue holding it together. You need automation that keeps pace without a rip-and-replace.
Drowning in Manual Work
You spend hours on data entry, email sorting, invoice chasing, and report building. You know there's a better way -- you just haven't had time to find it.
Automation-Curious, Not Sure Where to Start
You've heard about automation and AI but don't know what applies to your business. You want someone to show you the opportunities, not sell you a platform.
Tools That Don't Talk to Each Other
You're using Sheets, Slack, a CRM, email, and five other tools -- but none of them are connected. You're the integration layer, and it's exhausting.
FAQ
Common Questions
Most workflows ship in 1-2 weeks. You see progress from day one -- not a black box that reveals itself at the deadline.
That's exactly what the audit is for. We map your workflows, identify the biggest time sinks, and recommend where automation will have the most impact.
No. You own everything -- the workflows, the code, the documentation. If you want to walk away tomorrow, you take it all with you.
Primarily n8n for workflow automation, and Claude or Gemini AI for decision-making, classification, and content generation. I pick the right tool for your stack -- you don't need to know the difference.
Every project is scoped and quoted upfront. No hourly surprises, no scope creep. Most automations pay for themselves within the first month.
