About

I build the systems behind modern operations.

I work across product design, automation, AI-assisted workflows and systems integration — turning complex business processes into practical digital products.

Positioning

More than connecting tools.

I design the whole system around how an operation actually runs: the workflow and its states, how data moves between platforms, the automation logic, and the interface people use every day.

That means the work sits across several disciplines at once.

Working across

  1. Product Systems
  2. Workflow Automation
  3. AI-Assisted Operations
  4. Dashboards & Interfaces
  5. CRM & Business Systems
  6. Systems Integration

What I Do

The operational problems I work on.

  1. Work spread across disconnected tools and spreadsheets.
  2. Manual handoffs between intake, sales, finance and delivery.
  3. Documents that have to be read before work can start.
  4. Approvals and follow-ups that live in inboxes.
  5. Teams without a clear view of where each job sits.

Experience

From individual automations to operational platforms.

My work has increasingly moved beyond individual automations into complete operational systems — combining workflow logic, AI, data, dashboards and third-party platforms into one working environment.

  1. Automation & Integrations

    Workflow automations connecting finance, project management, CRM and lead sources in Zapier and Make.

  2. CRM & Operational Workflows

    Pipelines, tags and timed sequences in GoHighLevel covering booking, reminders, recovery and reactivation.

  3. AI-Assisted Systems

    n8n workflows that add AI where interpretation helps — lead analysis, task planning and document Q&A — with people approving the decisions.

  4. Product & Production Platforms

    A production estimating and operations platform, and a director dashboard that brings CRM, accounting and construction data into one view.

Core Capabilities

Where I spend most of my time.

  • Product Systems

    Designing operational tools from process through interface.

  • Workflow Automation

    Building reliable automation across business systems.

  • AI-Assisted Workflows

    Using AI where interpretation, classification or reasoning improves a process.

  • CRM & Operations

    Connecting intake, opportunities, approvals and operational state.

  • Dashboards & Interfaces

    Creating practical interfaces for teams to operate complex workflows.

  • Systems Integration

    Connecting APIs, databases, payments and third-party platforms.

How I Work

From process to working system.

  1. Understand the operation

    Map what actually happens in the business.

  2. Design the workflow

    Define states, decisions, data and handoffs.

  3. Connect the systems

    Integrate the platforms that support the process.

  4. Build the interface

    Create the workspace people actually use.

  5. Automate carefully

    Automate repetitive work, keeping human review where it matters.

  6. Refine in production

    Improve based on real operational use.

Working With Me

What you can expect.

  • Clear systems

    Workflows that are easy to follow, explain and hand over.

  • Maintainable logic

    Built so it can be changed later without starting again.

  • Operations first

    The process drives the tooling, not the other way round.

  • Reliable integrations

    Validation, duplicate checks and error alerts where systems meet.

  • Human review where it matters

    AI and automation prepare the work; people approve the decisions.

  • Business-first decisions

    Technology chosen for the problem, not for novelty.
