AI & workflow automation
n8n, Make, Zapier
Automation that does the ROI math first.
Most "AI consultants" sell you a ChatGPT prompt. I build the workflow around it, in n8n, Make, Zapier or custom code, with Claude or OpenAI only where it earns its place. The kind that runs without you watching it.

What I automate
Six workflows I build for DTC brands

The WISMO killer
Matches Shopify and 3PL status and answers "where is my order?" on its own.

Delivery-timed review requests
Fires when the parcel arrives. Unhappy customers go to private feedback before a public review.

Ad-feed inventory sync
Pauses ads the moment a SKU sells out, so you stop paying for clicks to out-of-stock pages.

Real ROI math
If the math doesn't work, I'll tell you
Before I build anything, we work out what it saves. I'd rather lose the project than ship pointless automation.
- 3 to 5 ideas, ranked by hours saved
- A fixed price before any code
- No build if it won't pay for itself

Real automation looks boring: a report in your inbox every Monday, a lead score updating in HubSpot. Boring, until you notice you've stopped doing 8 hours of manual work a week.
Tools
n8n, Make, Zapier or code. Whichever fits.
I pick the tool for your stack and budget, not for a referral fee.
Zapier
Fastest to build, the most app integrations. The most expensive per task at scale.
Fast winsMake
Visual editor, more power than Zapier, mid-range cost per operation.
Visual logicn8n
Open source and self-hostable. The most powerful, and free to run on your own server.
High volumeCustom code
Node.js or PHP services when no-code can't do it. Hosted on Railway, Vercel or your VPS.
The hard stuff
AI, where it pays
The right model is the cheapest one that clears your quality bar.
Claude for nuanced writing, a GPT model for general tasks, a smaller model for high-volume work, open-source and self-hosted when data can't leave your servers.

FAQ
Automation questions, answered
What's the difference between n8n, Make and Zapier?
Zapier is the fastest to build with the most integrations, but the most expensive per task at scale. Make has a visual editor, more power and a mid-range cost. n8n is open source, self-hostable and the most powerful, with the steepest learning curve. I recommend one based on how complex the workflow is and how often it runs.
Do I have to use OpenAI or ChatGPT?
No. I pick the model for the job: Claude for nuanced text, a GPT model for general tasks, cheaper models for high volume, open-source if you need to self-host for compliance. The right model is the cheapest one that hits your quality bar.
What does an automation project cost?
It depends on the tool, the number of steps and whether AI is involved. You get one fixed price after a free 30-minute call. Most projects pay for themselves in 2 to 6 months, and we do that math before we start.
Will my data go to OpenAI or Anthropic?
For most workflows, yes: that's how the APIs work. Both offer terms that keep your data out of training. For legal, medical or financial work, I can self-host an open-source model so nothing leaves your servers.
What happens if an automation breaks at 3am?
It alerts you (or me) on Slack or email straight away, retries on its own, and falls back to a manual queue so nothing gets lost. That's built in from the start, not added later.
