Sound familiar?
The work that quietly eats your week.
Your team copies data between tools all day
✓I connect them with n8n and APIs so data moves on its own, with logs and retries.
You can’t see real profit, cash or retention
✓One dashboard from your banks, store, ads and subscriptions, updated automatically.
Quotes, follow-ups and leads go cold
✓Inbox-to-quote pipelines, CRM automations and nurture that start the moment a lead arrives.
You want AI but don’t trust it with decisions
✓Agents that propose, rules that check, and a human who approves in Slack before anything ships.

About
An engineer who reads the P&L.
Most developers understand code. Most eCommerce operators understand the business. I bridge both. My path started in accounting (ACCA), moved into running eCommerce catalogs across Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, eBay and Walmart, and the repetitive work there led me to automation, and automation led me to AI.
Today I'm Project Manager at Automate St Pete, a US automation company, and I build AI systems for clients in eCommerce, real estate, healthcare and B2B sales. Humans approve the important calls, everything is logged, and the agent says "I don't know" instead of guessing.

FAQ
Questions clients ask before we start.
Which tools do you work with?+
n8n (self-hosted or cloud), Make, Zapier, GoHighLevel, Shopify, Supabase, Airtable, Microsoft 365, Claude and OpenAI, plus custom React/Next.js apps. If your tool has an API, I can usually connect it.
Do I need to switch my current tools?+
No. I build around what you already use and only suggest a change when it clearly pays for itself.
Is AI safe to use on real business decisions?+
I design agents to propose, not decide. Hard rules check every proposal, a human approves important actions, and everything is logged.
How long does a starter build take?+
Most single-workflow builds are scoped in days to a few weeks. You get the timeline in the written spec before we start.
What happens after launch?+
You get docs and a handover video. If you want ongoing help, the retainer covers monitoring, fixes and new automations.
Who owns the work?+
You do: code, workflows, accounts and data.
