Super helpful, easy to work with

He helped me build a macro that’s going to save my team hours of mind-numbing manual entry. On top of that, he suggested improvements that were way better than what I originally had in mind (and I thought my plan was pretty solid!). Super helpful, easy to work with, and clearly knows his stuff.

A strong understanding of complex automation systems

Franz delivered an excellent first milestone and demonstrated a strong understanding of complex automation systems. He built a working end-to-end pipeline using Google Sheets, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and HeyGen exactly as scoped, with clean status logic, dynamic configuration, and solid error handling.

How it works

From first call to handover

01

Trace the real workflow

We map the process your team actually follows, including workarounds, handoffs, and failure points.

02

Ship the first system

I build a focused production version and test it on the real work your team needs it to handle.

03

Make it dependable

We add logs, alerts, fallbacks, and documentation so the automation keeps working after launch.

04

Expand where it helps

Once the first system is working, we use the results to choose the next useful improvement.

Tools I build with

  • n8n
  • Make
  • Zapier
  • Python
  • JavaScript
  • Claude
  • OpenAI
  • Airtable
  • Supabase
  • Google Sheets
  • GoHighLevel
  • APIs
Where do we start?

Bring the workflow your team spends too much time on. We map the steps, handoffs, and failure points, then choose a focused first system.

Can you work with our existing tools?

Yes. I build with n8n, Make, Zapier, custom code, and APIs to connect the software your team already uses.

What happens after launch?

We make the system easier to maintain with logs, alerts, fallbacks, and documentation. Further improvements follow what we learn from using it.

What time zone are you in?

I work across US and European hours, so a call is easy to set up either way.
