About  

Not a consultant.
An operator.

I've spent 14 years inside the engine room. I've migrated databases at 11pm, rebuilt broken automation at 6am, and fixed CRMs that were costing businesses tens of thousands per month in lost pipeline. I've logged 21,000+ hours on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score, because I ship what I promise.

Based in Auckland, NZ, I serve clients across USA, Australia, UK and globally. Precision timing for USA morning and UK afternoon overlap from the Southern Hemisphere.

30 minutes. No pitch. I listen to your stack, your pain, and your goal, then tell you exactly what I'd do about it.

02
Scoped Proposal

A tailored proposal: scope, timeline, investment. No templates. Built around your specific situation.

03
Build & Execute

Transparent delivery. Weekly updates. I work fast and document everything so nothing gets lost.

04
Launch & Handover

We go live, validate the results, and I hand over full documentation so your team owns what we built.

The Difference  

Why clients stay
and come back.

Upwork Top Rated Plus

21,000+ hours logged. 100% Job Success Score. These numbers reflect consistent delivery on time, on scope, with no surprises.

I Build, I Don't Just Advise

Most consultants hand you a roadmap. I stay until it's running, because automation that breaks is worse than none at all.

NZ-Based, Global Coverage

Auckland timezone works perfectly for USA, AU and UK. Developed-market quality at competitive global rates.

AI-Native From Day One

I design systems with AI ticket deflection, chatbot routing, and automation intelligence built in from the architecture level, not bolted on after.

No Surprises, Ever

Fixed-scope proposals. Weekly check-ins. If something changes, I tell you first and we decide together. No scope creep, no invoice shock.

Results You Can Measure

Ticket deflection rate. Pipeline velocity. Resolution time. Every engagement has KPIs defined upfront so you know what success looks like and when we've hit it.

FAQ  

Common questions
answered honestly.

What CRM platforms do you specialise in?
My primary platforms are HubSpot, Zendesk, GoHighLevel, Freshdesk, and desk.com. I also work extensively with Make.com for cross-platform automation. If your stack isn't listed, get in touch, I've likely worked with it.
Do you work with international clients?
Yes, the majority of my clients are in USA, Australia and the UK. Auckland's timezone (GMT+12) works excellently for US morning and UK afternoon overlap. I've managed 21,000+ hours of global client work on Upwork.
How long does a typical CRM implementation take?
A foundational HubSpot or Zendesk setup takes 2–4 weeks. Full implementation with custom automation and integrations runs 4–8 weeks. AI chatbot deployments go live in 14 days. Every project starts with a scoped proposal so you know the timeline before we begin.
Can you migrate data from our current CRM?
Yes, CRM migration is one of my most requested services. I've migrated from Salesforce, Pipedrive, ActiveCampaign, Zoho, and custom systems. The process is documented, validated, and run in parallel so there's no downtime or data loss.
Do you integrate payment systems like Stripe and PayPal?
Yes. Payment integration is core to eCommerce and subscription CRM work. I integrate Stripe and PayPal into Shopify Plus, HubSpot, GoHighLevel and other platforms, so revenue data flows automatically into your CRM and reporting.
