What I Do

Services

01

AI & Workflow Automation

I design and build end-to-end automation systems — CRM pipelines, lead routing, sales workflows — that eliminate repetitive work and connect your entire tech stack, so your team spends time on what actually matters.

Email & Revenue Infrastructure

I set up, warm, and optimize cold email infrastructure — domains, DNS, sending systems — so your revenue engine lands in the primary inbox and generates consistent pipeline at scale.

My Story

THE ONLY
ENGINEER
IN THE ROOM

Businesses waste hours on repetitive work. Manual workflows don't scale, and disconnected systems create bottlenecks that quietly drain revenue. I build AI-powered systems that connect your tools, automate operations, and get that time back.

At Lead Assassin — a B2B outreach agency — I was the sole backend engineer. While most specialists pick a lane, our operation demanded mastery across three: the automation systems that moved data at scale, the AI tools that personalized at volume, and the email infrastructure that made sure everything actually landed.

That forced overlap is rare. You can't fully automate without understanding deliverability. You can't build useful AI tools without understanding what the sales team actually needs. Being the only engineer meant every broken system was my problem — and that's exactly how I got good at all three.

2023Joined Lead Assassin — started in lead generation, then built the first Make/n8n automation stacks
2024Email Deliverability Specialist — scaled cold email infrastructure to 50K+ monthly sends across multi-domain setups
2025Application Developer — shipped LeadBox, KPI Dashboard, Terra Firma, and 10+ production automation systems
2026Going independent — bringing agency-grade systems to every client. Available now.

Proof of Work
InboxResults

Real deliverability numbers from campaigns I've built and optimized. Inbox placement, reply rates, and volume at scale.

91%Inbox Placement Rate

B2B SaaS Outreach Campaign

Instantly + ZapMail

Problem

The client's cold email sends were landing in spam, tanking reply rates before the message ever had a chance to be seen.

Outcome

Achieved 91% inbox placement across 15,000 sends in 30 days using multi-domain rotation and ZapMail warm-up infrastructure.

8.4%Reply Rate

Cold Outreach Sequence

Smartlead + Apollo

Problem

Generic outreach sequences were getting ignored — low open rates meant the message never had a chance to land with the right person.

Outcome

Generated 120+ qualified replies from a 4-step sequence. Optimized subject lines and send windows using Smartlead A/B testing.

3.2xOpen Rate Increase

Domain Warm-Up & Rebuild

Mission Inbox + Instantly

Problem

A client's sending domain had been flagged as spam, killing deliverability and putting their entire outbound channel at risk.

Outcome

Rescued a client domain flagged as spam. Rebuilt sender reputation over 3 weeks using Mission Inbox warm-up pools.

50K+Emails Delivered

Multi-Domain Infrastructure

HeyReach + Instantly

Problem

High-volume outreach on a single domain was hitting sending limits and reputation risk, capping how much pipeline the team could generate.

Outcome

Built and managed a multi-domain sending setup for high-volume outreach — consistent deliverability across 8 sending domains.
