Automation Engineer
& business systems builder

Every workflow is different, so every quote is custom. We start with a free 30-minute discovery call where you get a rough idea of what automating your task looks like; if we move forward, you receive a fixed written quote covering scope, timeline and price — and the quote is what you pay. You approve the number before any work starts, and simple single-task automations typically ship within a week.

A single-task automation usually ships within a week. Chrome extensions and multi-app workflows take 2–6 weeks depending on complexity. You review progress at every milestone, so there are no long silences.

Yes. I build Manifest V3 extensions for data capture, workflow automation and internal tooling — published privately to your team via the Chrome Web Store, or distributed internally. You own the full source code.

Your automations run inside your own Google account and your own infrastructure — I never store your data on my side. Credentials stay in your hands, and I’m happy to sign an NDA before we start.

Every project includes 30 days of free support after launch. Google occasionally updates its APIs, and your own process may evolve — small fixes are covered. After that, an optional monthly retainer keeps everything maintained.

You review working software at every milestone and pay per approved stage — so there is never a big-bang reveal where you’re stuck with something you don’t want. If a milestone misses the agreed scope, I fix it before payment; that clause is in the written quote.

For standard needs, sometimes you should — and I’ll tell you so. But subscriptions bill forever, own your data, and bend your process to their features. A custom system costs once, runs in your own accounts, and does exactly what your workflow needs. The SaaS-vs-owned comparison on my homepage shows the 3-year math.

Most likely, yes. I regularly integrate Google Workspace, Airtable, Notion, Stripe, Shopify, Slack, HubSpot and any service with an API — through Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom code. If it has an API (or a website), we can automate it.

Yes — that’s a big part of my 2026 work. Practical wins: classifying inbound email, extracting structured fields from PDFs and messages, drafting replies for human approval, and summarizing documents. I wire this via the Gemini API, OpenAI or n8n’s AI agent nodes directly into your Sheets, Gmail or apps — with a verification step on anything customer-facing, so a hallucination never reaches a client unsupervised.

Rule of thumb from real builds: if the task has fixed rules — invoices, syncing, reports — a deterministic script is cheaper, faster and never improvises. If the input is unstructured (emails, documents, research) or needs judgment calls, an AI agent earns its keep. Most businesses need both: an agent to triage and decide, a script to execute reliably. The free audit call sorts this out for your specific workflow in 30 minutes.
