What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own AI automation end-to-end—MCP/Claude agent systems, webhooks/APIs, and operational reliability—shipping production workflows that reliably run and return measurable time savings. Open to remote (UK/Spain/global).

I build the autonomous backbone of a business: spotting which repetitive workflows are worth automating, then designing, shipping, and maintaining the systems end-to-end. My work is grounded in AI-native operations—MCP architecture, Claude Skills and Claude Code, agent orchestration, and API/webhook integration as production systems that keep running.

I’ve built and personally operated custom MCP servers (Playwright, GitHub) and earned direct Anthropic certifications in Claude Agent Skills and Subagents. I’m hands-on with operational reliability, including diagnosing and fixing a live production webhook incident that caused 800+ simultaneous executions.

I also create self-hosted automation stacks with full infrastructure ownership—voice-to-content pipelines, scheduled research agents, credential rotation, and HTTPS configuration—debugging real production issues like scoping and binary data handling. With 11 years consulting across mining, agriculture, and financial services, I’m pragmatic about measurable hours returned to real teams, not automation for its own sake.
