Hi, I’m Michael. AI Implementation & Automation Specialist.

Your tools, set up rightand working together.

CRMs, integrations, automations and AI chat, tested before launch and handed over with docs your team can follow. Implementation Specialist at Highspring, based in Davao City, Philippines.

How I work, in three layers

  1. CRMs and SaaS tools configured from scratch, checked against a QA list before launch, then documented and walked through with the people who use them.

01 / Work

Recent work

Systems I set up and built end to end, and two client sites. Each case study covers the problem, what I set up and how I handed it over.

02 / Playground

Try it yourself.

Small working copies of things I’ve built. Switch roles, push a lead through a workflow, send a request, or chat with a receptionist bot. Nothing here is real data.

Portal access

Pick a job and see which apps that person gets.

Everyone signs in to the same app, but each person only sees what their job needs. These people are made up.

04 / What I do

Set up, connected, handed over.

Most of my work is getting the tools a business already pays for to do what the team needs. When something’s missing, I build it.

  1. Set it up
  2. Connect it
  3. Fill the gaps
  • Zapier
  • Make
  • Google Apps Script

Set it up

Implementation & integrations

I set up SaaS tools and connect them to your other systems through APIs and webhooks, then test every workflow before launch.

  • SaaS setup from scratch
  • APIs and webhooks
  • Every workflow tested before launch
  • GoHighLevel
  • Zapier
  • Claude Code

Connect it

CRM, automation and AI

Pipelines, calendars, forms and follow-ups wired together so leads don’t sit in an inbox, plus AI chat on your website for the common questions.

  • GoHighLevel set up properly
  • Texts from a registered A2P number
  • AI chat on your website
  • React
  • Supabase
  • Google BigQuery

Fill the gaps

Internal tools

When a team has outgrown spreadsheets and group chats, I build the portal or dashboard they actually need.

  • Built in React and Supabase
  • On top of the data you already have
  • Access set by role
  • Webflow
  • WordPress
  • Shopify

Fill the gaps

Websites and online stores

Webflow, WordPress and Shopify sites, usually connected to the CRM behind them.

  • Webflow, WordPress or Shopify
  • Forms that feed your CRM
  • Shopify themes in Liquid

How I work

Every job runs the same way. Each part gets tested before it goes live, and your team knows how to use it when I hand it over.

  1. 01

    Talk it through

    We go over how your team works today and what needs fixing, before anything gets built.

    Set up and test

    I build it one piece at a time and test each part with dummy leads before it goes live.

    Hand it over

    When it’s done I walk your team through it and leave written docs. I’m around for changes after.

06 / About

Four years of making tools work.

I started out coding custom web apps at a digital marketing agency, then spent a few years on WordPress, Shopify and GoHighLevel for small businesses. Somewhere along the way, setting systems up and automating them became most of the job. Now I do that full time at Highspring, and freelance on internal apps for a SERVPRO franchise group.

I test before launch, document what I set up, and walk the people who use it through it.

07 / FAQ

Before you write.

The questions people usually ask first. Anything else, put it in your message.

01What do you do?

I implement and automate business systems, and build the apps around them. That means CRMs like GoHighLevel set up properly, tools connected with Zapier, Make and webhooks, AI chat on your website, and internal apps in React and Supabase when nothing off the shelf fits.

02How fast can you start?

It depends on what I am working on at the time. Tell me your timeline when you write, and I will tell you straight away whether I can meet it.

03Where are you based?

Davao City, Philippines (GMT+8). My hours are flexible: I work US, UK or AU time.

04Full-time, part-time or freelance?

Full-time or part-time roles, and freelance work alongside them. I work remotely, with flexible hours on US, UK or AU time.

05What happens after I write?

Usually we talk it through first. Then I build it one piece at a time and test each part with dummy leads before it goes live. When it is done I walk your team through it, and I am around for changes after.

08 / Contact

What does your team still do by hand every week?

Tell me about it. Usually we talk it through first, then I build it one piece at a time and test each part with dummy leads before it goes live. When it’s done I walk your team through it, and I’m around for changes after.
