Contract role

- Reduced newsletter production time from 5–7 days to under 5 minutes by building an AI content pipeline (n8n, Airtable, Perplexity, ConvertKit) that extracts brand voice from writing samples and auto-publishes on-brand newsletters across multiple clients.
- Reduced manual sales tracking to near-zero by building a real-time performance dashboard (Airtable Interfaces + n8n) that ingested leads from Lusha API, Google Sheets, and contact forms, deduplicated via suppression logic, and synced meeting data from Google Calendar and Smartlead for accurate rep-level attribution.
- Cut proposal turnaround time from 2 days to under 30 minutes by engineering an AI sales pipeline (Fireflies.ai, n8n, Make.com, PandaDoc, Claude MCP) that auto-transcribes discovery calls, drafts personalized proposals via an AI agent, and delivers them via a single Airtable button.

- Saved 10+ admin hours per month by automating invoice processing across Gmail and Google Drive, triggering document parsing, CRM record creation, and payment status tracking with zero manual input.
- Protected brand reputation at scale by building a GMB review routing system that detected post-service sentiment and directed satisfied clients to review pages and dissatisfied clients to internal feedback forms.
- Improved lead first-response time by 300%+ by automating inbound email triage (Make.com, Gmail), ensuring every website inquiry received an immediate personalised reply with zero manual effort.
- Sharpened ad targeting precision by scraping competitor Instagram audiences and syncing them to Facebook Custom Audiences, cutting audience build time by 70% and removing a manual, error-prone export process.
- Reduced manual CRM work to zero by building a lead capture pipeline that auto-populated Airtable records from scraped contacts and triggered personalised multi-step email sequences.
