Services

Three things, done well.

We don’t start with software. We start with how your work actually flows.

01 — Diagnose

Automation Audit & Roadmap

The free 30-minute audit is the front door: we map where your hours actually go and what they cost. Want more depth? A paid roadmap turns the findings into a step-by-step automation plan you can act on — with me or without me.

02 — Build

Workflow Automation Builds

Custom n8n workflows are the specialty; Make or Zapier when they fit the stack you already run. Builds on your tools, no rip-and-replace.

03 — Orchestrate

AI / LLM Orchestration

I connect your business to AI without the complexity — drafting, summarizing, routing — always with a human in the loop.

Projects from $500 Ongoing retainers from $1,500/mo Every engagement starts with the free audit, so you’ll have a scoped quote before you spend a dollar.

How it works

Diagnose, build, keep it running.

  1. Week 1

    Free 30-minute audit

    We map your three biggest time drains and what they cost in hours. You keep the findings either way.

  2. Weeks 2–4

    The build

    A custom automation built on your existing stack — scoped from the audit, tested with your real work.

  3. Ongoing

    Monthly support

    Businesses change and workflows drift. Monthly support keeps your automations matched to how you actually work.

Our goal: your first working automation within 30 days.

For nonprofits

Your team is stretched thin. We fix that.

If you run a small nonprofit, you know the job: the executive director is also the grant writer, the bookkeeper, the volunteer coordinator, and the IT department. That’s a process problem, not a talent problem — and most of it can be automated on Mailchimp, Google Sheets, and QuickBooks, the tools you’re already paying for.

One thing we don’t claim: we don’t win you grants. We automate the admin around grants — the drafting, the deadlines, the reporting — so the people who do win them get their hours back.

Across the nonprofit sector, industry research shows:

  • 58%of nonprofits cite staffing as their #1 challenge
  • ~41 hrsper quarter go to manual impact reports
  • 9+ hrsto produce a single grant proposal
  • 18%of grant submissions arrive late
  • 41–49%run zero process automation today

About the founder

Process first. Tools second.

Ali Ahmed has worked as an independent Business Process & Automation Analyst since 2021 — workflow audits for small businesses and nonprofits, automation roadmaps, and integrations across Airtable, Gmail, Drive, and APIs. When you book the audit, he’s the person who answers, and the person who builds.

Employment history — pharmacy operations & compliance, Boyt Drugs / Walgreens, 2013–2016

7 months → 2 weeks

An audit backlog that stood at seven months was rebuilt into a process that cleared in two — a 93.5% reduction. That’s where the method comes from: map the flow, remove the friction, verify the result.

If a workflow can survive a pharmacy audit, it can survive your inbox.

The receipts are shipped systems, not slogans:

  • Agentic AI research system
  • LLM log-summarization pipeline
  • YouTube data analytics on GCP with OAuth
  • File-classifier CLI
  • Healthcare-breach data exploration (HHS data)
  • Flask REST API

The code is on GitHub.

Education: Rutgers B.A. in Psychology with a CS minor; four years of PharmD curriculum at Rutgers Ernest Mario — clinical-grade training in getting a process right when errors matter; MIT’s blockchain program; Thinkful data science.

Tools: n8n · Make · Zapier · Python · SQL · Apps Script — fluent in all, loyal to none.

Don’t take our word — take the audit. You keep the findings either way.
