Workflow Automation in San Diego — Built by a Local, Priced by the Hour
What "workflow automation San Diego" actually means in 2025
- It's not Zapier templates. Real workflow automation connects your CRM, email, SMS, invoicing, and AI into one system that removes the 10–20 hours/week your team burns on copy-paste work. I build custom — Make.com, n8n, OpenAI API, Twilio, GHL, Airtable, whatever fits.
- San Diego businesses I build for: contractors (lead → estimate → follow-up), med spas and clinics (intake → reminders → reviews), real estate (listing → drip → showing), law firms (intake → docs → billing), and e-commerce doing $500K–$10M.
- Pricing is flat $100/hr — no retainer, no monthly minimum. Most full workflows take 6–20 hours. You own everything I build. If I can't automate it in a reasonable timeframe, I tell you before I invoice.
- I'm local — Encinitas/Solana Beach. Text 858-461-8054 and we can meet in North County, jump on Zoom same day, or I can send you a 5-minute Loom diagnosing your biggest bottleneck for free.

Stop doing the work your software could do
If your team is copy-pasting between tools, retyping leads, or chasing invoices manually — that's an hour of my time and you're done with it forever.
