I build Make scenarios that keep running when things break — error handling on every critical route, documented handoff, and no lock-in.
Proof of the standard I build to:
My lead build ran 90 days in production, checked itself every 60 seconds, and survived three deliberate attempts to kill it — forced shutdowns, broken scripts, network drops. It detected each failure fast, recovered clean, and never needed a rebuild. Full write-up: GitHub - amear238/self-healing-ai-infrastructure: An AI monitoring agent that watches production infrastructure every 60 seconds, diagnoses its own failures, fixes low-risk issues in scope, and escalates the rest for human approval. 90 days in production. · GitHub
What that discipline looks like in Make:
- Error handlers as a requirement, not an afterthought. Every critical route gets a defined failure path — retry, resume, or stop-and-alert — so a scenario never dies silently and gets discovered by your customer instead of you.
- Failure visibility. When something breaks, you get told — before it becomes a client-facing incident.
- Human-in-the-loop where it matters. For anything risky, the scenario proposes and a human approves. Nothing irreversible runs without a yes.
- Tested changes before production, where the setup allows it. For agency or white-label work that can mean sandbox or staging accounts, duplicated scenarios, or test data before anything touches live operations.
White-label and agency work:
I work behind the scenes. I do not contact your end client unless you ask me to. Handoff includes documentation for the scenarios, connections, failure paths and operating assumptions, so your team — or another competent Make builder — can understand what was built and maintain it later.
The other thing I build against is lock-in. Most automation gets sold with a hidden maintenance contract attached: the builder is the only one who can fix it. I think that’s a design choice, not a requirement. I build inside your Make account — you own the scenarios, the connections, and the documentation, and any competent builder can service what I hand over. Ongoing support is available if you want it; it is never required to keep your system alive.
Before I built automation, I ran businesses — family restaurants, a coffee shop, a martial arts gym. I know exactly what it costs when a system the business depends on goes down during service. That’s the standard I build to: not “it worked in the demo,” but “it kept working after we tried to break it.”
Rate: opening rate is in the low $40s per hour (USD). Fixed-scope quotes available once the scope is actually fixed.
Getting in touch: reply to this topic or send me a message with the thing in your business — or your client’s business — that’s wasting time or breaking too often. Tell me what you’re trying to automate, what apps are involved, and whether it’s direct or white-label. I’ll tell you straight whether it should be automated — and whether I’m the right person to build it.
