Automation and infrastructure, billed flat-rate.
Two service lines. Scoped projects, transparent pricing, no monthly retainers required. Based in Van Nuys — remote-friendly anywhere in the US.
n8n & workflow automation
Self-hosted n8n flows that connect your tools, capture leads, push notifications, and run AI tasks — without sending your data to a third-party SaaS.
What I build
Lead-capture pipelines
Webforms → n8n → Google Sheets/Airtable/CRM. SMS alert to your phone when a hot lead comes in. Email auto-response with calendar booking link.
SaaS integrations & API glue
Connect tools that don't natively talk to each other. Shopify ↔ Notion. Stripe ↔ Google Sheets. Calendly ↔ CRM. Custom webhook handlers.
SMS & email notification flows
Twilio SMS triggers, Gmail/SendGrid email sequences, transactional notifications, on-call escalation chains.
Local AI / private LLM workflows
Ollama + Llama 3.2 running on your hardware. Document classification, content generation, inbox triage — all without sending data to OpenAI/Anthropic.
Cloud & infrastructure setups
Storage servers, Linux installs, hypervisors, media servers. Designed to be reliable, secure, and accessible from anywhere without exposing ports to the internet.
What I build
Storage servers & NAS
TrueNAS or unRAID builds with ZFS, snapshots, scheduled replication, and remote backup. Sized for your data and growth.
Linux installs & cloud setups
Ubuntu, Debian, headless server images, Proxmox hypervisors with virtualized workloads. Docker stacks for self-hosted apps.
Media servers
Plex or Jellyfin with hardware-accelerated transcoding, the *arr stack (Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr), and remote access without opening any ports.
Secure remote access
Tailscale mesh VPN + Cloudflare Tunnels. Zero exposed ports, end-to-end encrypted, access from any device. ISC2 CC certified approach.
How a project runs.

Scope call
30-min call. We map what you need, what success looks like, and what hardware/services are involved.
Flat-rate proposal
Within 24–48 hours: one price, timeline, deliverables, and what's explicitly out of scope. No hourly billing surprises.
Build & deploy
Work happens. Check-ins as needed. You see progress, not status meetings. Final deploy to your hardware or cloud.
Handoff & docs
Written runbook, credentials in your vault, recorded walkthrough video. 30-day support included.
