About

"I build automated workflows and agentic systems for teams that want operations to run faster, cleaner, and with less manual effort."

Engineer who moved into ops

The engineering background is not a past chapter. It is why I lead operations differently.

I build the system, not just the process

I do not stop at identifying inefficiency. I wire up the system that removes it.

Process first, tool second

Tool choice follows process understanding. That is what makes automation mature rather than template-driven.

At Silverthread Labs, I work at the overlap of engineering and operations, designing and implementing systems for workflow routing, reporting, delivery coordination, and internal execution.

I am hands-on with the actual build. I map the process, decide what should be automated, wire the logic, integrate the tools, and make the workflow run in production.

Because I come from software engineering, I do not stop at diagnosing inefficiency. When a workflow is slow, fragile, or breaking, I can go into the system itself, fix the logic, and rebuild the workflow properly.

If you need automation built for real operations work, not just discussed at a strategy level, I bring both the implementation depth and the operational judgment required to make it useful.

Services

What I Build

01

AI Workflow Automation

End-to-end automated workflows that replace repetitive manual work. I design, build, and deploy production-grade automations using n8n, Make, and Zapier that run without human intervention.

02

Agentic AI Systems

Multi-step AI agents that handle complex tasks autonomously. From lead qualification to content generation to code reviews, I build agents that make decisions and execute end-to-end.

Operations Automation

I automate the operational backbone: task routing, reporting pipelines, approval flows, onboarding sequences, and cross-tool data syncs that keep teams moving without bottlenecks.

Data & Pipeline Automation

I build automated data pipelines that collect, enrich, transform, and deliver information across systems. From sourcing to processing to output, the entire flow runs without manual steps.

AI-Powered Automation

I integrate AI into business workflows to automate tasks that require judgment: content generation, data analysis, classification, summarization, and decision-making at scale.

AI SaaS Development

Full stack AI-powered SaaS products from concept to production. I build scalable web applications with integrated AI features, user auth, dashboards, and API backends.

Jan 2026 - PresentFull-timeSilverthread Labs

VP of Operations & Workflow Automation Specialist

I run operations at Silverthread Labs and build the automated systems underneath them. The two aren't separate: the ops strategy and the technical build are the same job here.

  • Design and own internal processes: work routing, team coordination, performance tracking, client delivery
  • Build the automation infrastructure the company runs on using n8n, Make, and Zapier
  • Build agentic workflows for multi-step tasks that used to require constant human involvement
  • Integrate GPT and LLMs into internal processes where AI decision-making replaces manual steps
  • Translate technical capabilities into operational decisions leadership can act on

Why Me

Differentiators

<2 WeeksAverage deployment

From process mapping to live automation. I ship fast because I handle the full build myself, no handoffs, no committees.

Full StackEngineer-turned-ops

I come from React, Node.js, and TypeScript. When automation hits a wall, I go into the code and fix it. No "that is out of scope" conversations.

24/7Systems that run themselves

Every workflow I build is designed to run unattended. Monitoring, error handling, and fallbacks are built in from day one.

Stop doing it manually.

Tell me what your team spends hours on every week. I will build the system that handles it, deployed in under 2 weeks, running 24/7.
