AI Automation & Full-Stack Engineer

I build AI systems that help businesses respond faster, automate operations, and scale smarter.

I combine AI automation with full-stack development to create voice agents, chatbots, connected workflows, CRM systems, SaaS products, and conversion-focused websites — for startups, agencies, and service businesses across the US.

6+ years building AI-powered business systems · Remote, working with US-based teams

More captured leads

Every call, form, and chat gets a response before the opportunity goes cold.

Faster response times

AI agents answer immediately, day or night, instead of leads waiting on a callback.

Reduced manual work

Repetitive data entry and follow-up gets handled automatically in the background.

Better follow-up

Structured sequences make sure no lead is forgotten or followed up with inconsistently.

Connected systems

Your website, CRM, calendar, and communication tools work as one system, not silos.

Improved customer experience

Customers get quick, accurate answers instead of long waits or repeated questions.

Scalable operations

Systems built to handle more volume without adding proportional headcount.

About

Systems thinking, applied to real business operations.

I'm an AI automation and full-stack engineer with more than six years of experience across web development, business systems, e-commerce, CRM integrations, and AI automation.

My strength isn't just building individual tools — it's understanding how a website, an AI voice agent, a form, a calendar, a CRM, a payment system, and internal notifications should work together. Instead of handing over disconnected pieces, I design and build the practical system that connects them, so the business runs on one coherent flow rather than a patchwork of tools.

I've led development work and delivered projects across real estate, dental and healthcare-related services, fitness, e-commerce, learning management systems, and professional services — building whatever combination of website, automation, and backend system each business actually needed.
