What I build

AI workflow automation

Automation that ships work, not surprises — with humans on the writing side until evals prove otherwise, and a log for every decision.

#What I build

One workflow, end-to-end

Intake → classify → route → act, in your accounts, on n8n/Make or code-level LangGraph.

Lead capture → qualify → route

Every lead caught, scored, routed, and followed up in minutes — nothing slips.

Data pipelines / ETL

Validation, idempotency, and alerting so the report your business runs on is correct and fresh.

Integrations

Make the CRM, billing, support desk, and spreadsheet talk — with error handling and an audit trail.

#n8n, Make, or code — how I choose

The platform is a means, not a religion. I pick the lightest tool that fits the workflow’s complexity and who has to maintain it:

Reach forWhenTrade-off
Make / ZapierSimple, linear glue between SaaS apps your team already pays forFast to build; gets brittle past a few branches
n8n (self-host)Branching logic, your own data, or you want to own the runtimeMore power + control; you host and maintain it
Code (LangGraph / typed)AI in the loop, real state, retries, approval gates, testsMost robust + testable; needs an engineer to change
!
The honest caveat: a no-code tool that “works” in a demo often can’t express the error handling, idempotency, and approval gates a production workflow needs. When the risk is real, I’ll recommend code — even though it’s the harder sell.

#The design principle

The most reliable automation I’ve shipped sends zero AI-written messages — it reads, classifies, routes, and alerts a human. Human approval points are placed where the risk is, and earned down with evidence, never assumed away. That design deletes entire classes of failure.

How approval points are placed and earned down is documented in Human approval.
