AI Automation Specialist | Designing Systems That Reduces Repetitive Business Operations | n8n, Agentic AI, Claude, and Codex

Professional Background

I’m an AI automation specialist who builds systems that run real operations, not demos. I designed and run my own consulting pipeline end to end where a prospect fills out a form, the system checks fit, books a discovery call, and drafts the follow-up documents automatically. I also built a full-service operation for an HVAC company where the dispatch, field closeout, inventory, and vendor invoices, are all connected with a human approving every decision that spends money or commits a technician’s time.

I work primarily in n8n, Supabase/Postgres, and REST APIs, with Claude, Codex, and OpenRouter for the AI layer. I design for the failure paths first, since that’s what actually breaks in production, and I keep a human in the loop wherever a system shouldn’t be trusted to decide on its own.

Based in the Philippines, I self-host my own infrastructure and build every project to be understood by the next person who has to maintain it, not just to work once and disappear.
