AI Automation Engineer shipping production AI agents and workflow systems that turn leads into growth—end to end.
EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AI Automation Engineer who ships production AI agents and workflow systems end-to-end—from scoping to deployment—with a generalist mindset. I move fast, test new tools as they arrive, and focus on what actually works when there’s no playbook.
In my work across MENA, Europe, and Asia, I’ve built systems that scaled sales and deal flow by multiple X and generated tens of thousands of qualified leads. At Prolific Brands Plus LLC, I established the AI and automation function from scratch, then owned the full lead generation and outreach engine across multiple sourcing channels and outreach workflows.
I also design automation that cuts cost and manual effort: I built an autonomous Upwork sourcing pipeline, implemented a hybrid classifier for Amazon presence detection that reduced model routing cost by roughly 80%, and delivered cross-platform workflows that cut repetitive manual work by an estimated 60% using n8n, Make.com, and Zapier. My approach stays founder/leadership-aligned, turning complex operations into reliable systems with hands-off execution and self-healing recovery.
