I got into automation because I kept seeing businesses lose hours every week to work that honestly should not involve a human at all. That stuck with me and eventually became what I do full time.

Most of what I build sits in the background and runs without anyone touching it. Scrapers pulling data from dozens of sites at once, pipelines that clean and enrich that data, then push it wherever it needs to go, whether that is an email platform, a Slack channel, a CRM or a database. I have worked with Make, Python, Selenium, Playwright, PostgreSQL, REST APIs and a handful of AI tools depending on what the job actually needs.

Some projects I am proud of: a system that monitors 22 UK retail websites simultaneously and automatically distributes deals to email subscribers and social media with zero manual input. A pipeline that went through 5.6 million UK business records, filtered them down to 12,700 active law firms and enriched each one with AI generated summaries and tags. An e-commerce monitoring tool covering 11 Thai platforms that detects discounts and delivers clean reports on a schedule.

I work best with founders and small teams who have a clear problem and want someone who will actually think about it rather than just execute instructions blindly. I ask questions, I flag things that look wrong, and I do not disappear after delivery.

If something in your business is eating time it should not be eating, feel free to reach out. Open to projects and retainers.
