Profile

AI automation specialist who founded and runs an agency building AI-driven systems for small businesses.

Comfortable owning a project end to end, from sales to backend automation, with a track record of shipped, revenue-generating work.

Experience

Founder & AI Automation Consultant  · SMB — smbaiweekly.com (Self-employed, Remote)
2025 — Present
  • Founded and run an AI automation agency serving small businesses, including restaurant and pharmacy clients, delivering website redesigns, AI chatbot integrations, and custom workflow automation.
  • Drive personal sales and business development, visiting pharmacy locations directly to pitch, negotiate, and close new client projects.
  • Designed and deployed a DoorDash order-automation system for pharmacy clients, streamlining order intake and fulfillment workflows without manual handling.
  • Digitized and structured a catalog of 2,000+ products into clean CSV datasets, building the data pipeline used to power client-facing systems and integrations.
  • Built and maintained automation workflows using Make.com integrated with the Claude API (Fable 5.1 in production) for content generation, data processing, and client-facing chatbots.
  • Designed and built 10+ production-ready, local-first mobile apps (Expo / React Native, TypeScript) with a privacy-first architecture that keeps no server-side user data, packaged for Google Play release via EAS.
  • Built a multi-model LLM routing layer that drafts with fast open models (Groq), runs deterministic Python checks, and reserves the Claude API for correction and QA — cutting inference cost while holding output quality.
  • Designed and deployed client websites and web apps on Cloudflare Pages & Workers, standardizing the deploy pipeline and adding an AI-powered code-review gate to catch issues before release.
  • Built and scaled a cold email acquisition engine (Brevo, Zoho Mail) reaching 90–900 emails/day depending on sequence, generating the agency's client pipeline from zero.
  • Own the full client lifecycle — technical scoping, system design, implementation, and delivery — while evaluating a longer-term roadmap to productize the offering into a SaaS platform.
AI Output Auditor & QC Specialist  · GetInsured (Remote)
2024 — 2025
  • Audited AI-generated outputs against compliance and quality standards, applying structured QC frameworks to catch factual and calibration errors in high-volume production workflows.
  • Built lightweight Python scripts in Google Colab to automate parts of the QC review process.
