AI automation and operations systems for email, spreadsheets and repeatable work - n8n, OpenAI, APIs and dashboards.

I build small, fixed-scope AI and operations automations for teams buried in messages, spreadsheets and manual follow-up. I specialize in n8n, OpenAI and API integrations; email, message, form and document intake; AI extraction, classification and routing; Google Sheets dashboards and operational reporting; reconciliation, monitoring, alerts and human-approval safeguards. The goal is a reliable workflow with clear exceptions and handover, not a fragile demo.

You work directly with me. I spent seven years as COO of a Series B AI fintech, helping scale operations to 120+ people across four countries, owning finance, HR and IT, securing HK$40M+ in public funding and leading ISO 9001/27001 certification. I bring operating judgment as well as implementation: I start with the decision the workflow must support, the failure cases and the smallest useful first phase.

Typical first projects are: - AI Workflow Audit: map one process and produce a build/no-build blueprint. - AI Intake and Routing Sprint: turn recurring emails, messages, forms or documents into structured work. - Decision Dashboard Sprint: replace recurring spreadsheet assembly with one trusted view and a scheduled digest. Best fit: fixed-price or tightly capped projects with a clear outcome and US$300-1,250 first phase. Send the current process, one or two real examples and the result you want; I will tell you directly whether it fits a short sprint.

Work Terms

I work best with focused, fixed-scope projects and clear acceptance criteria. Preferred engagements are US$300-1,250 and usually 5-14 business days. I communicate in English, Cantonese or Mandarin, work primarily asynchronously in Hong Kong time, and provide a review point, documentation and handover. I prefer platform messages and human approval for material changes. Please share the current process, representative examples and the outcome you need.
