TECH OPS

I run the technical operations for a lead gen and AI automation consultancy - this is literally what I do every day.

What I've built that's directly relevant:

- Full n8n automation suites connecting voice AI, CRMs, and call tracking platforms (Ringba included). Dozens of production workflows handling lead routing, webhook processing, and API orchestration.

- RetellAI voice agent integrations - built conversational AI pipelines that connect to CRM systems and trigger downstream automations based on call outcomes.

- React frontends for lead capture and internal dashboards. Clean, conversion-focused, shipped fast.

- AWS infrastructure management - Lambda functions, S3, EC2 instances, CloudFront distributions. Comfortable managing the full stack.

- 30+ API integrations across CRMs (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Salesforce), communication platforms, and data tools. When something breaks at 2am, I'm the one fixing it.

I'm self-sufficient. You describe the outcome, I figure out the implementation. I document everything as I go so systems are repeatable and hand-offable. If something is blocked, I surface it early with options - not excuses.

Available 30+ hrs/week, US East timezone (flexible hours). Happy to start with a paid trial project to prove the fit.
