Use Cases
Real-world examples
A look at the kinds of problems I solve and what they unlock for the businesses I work with. Every engagement is different — these are starting points, not templates.
AI & Automation
AI agents and workflow automation
Deploying AI where it creates leverage — automating email, research, support, enrichment, and the repetitive workflows your team shouldn't be doing manually.
Inbox triage and AI-drafted responses for a high-volume team
Agency team receiving 150+ inbound emails daily across client, supplier, and sales enquiries
Built an AI layer on top of their Gmail inbox that reads every incoming email, classifies it by type and urgency, and for routine categories — status requests, booking enquiries, supplier confirmations — drafts a contextually accurate reply ready for one-click send. Urgent and sensitive emails are flagged with a plain-English summary and routed to the right person.
Inbound email to CRM record — zero manual entry
B2B company receiving purchase enquiries and project briefs entirely via a shared inbox
Built a workflow that monitors the shared inbox, uses an LLM to extract structured data from each email — contact details, project type, budget signals, timeline — creates the CRM record with fields pre-populated, assigns to the right rep, and fires an acknowledgement reply, all within seconds of the email landing.
Smart follow-up sequences triggered by email behaviour
SaaS company running manual follow-up processes after trial sign-ups and demo requests
Designed and built an email workflow engine that fires the right sequence based on what each prospect actually does — opens, clicks, in-product events, or silence. Sequences escalate, pause, or branch depending on behaviour, with AI-written copy variations to avoid repetition. Every interaction syncs back to HubSpot.
Internal knowledge base powered by RAG
Professional services firm with 5 years of proposals, reports, and SOPs scattered across Google Drive
Built a retrieval-augmented generation system that lets the team ask questions in plain English and get accurate, sourced answers from their own document library. Integrated with their existing Slack workspace.
AI-powered support ticket triage and routing
SaaS company with a support team overwhelmed by volume and inconsistent prioritisation
Deployed an AI classifier that reads incoming tickets, categorises by issue type and urgency, drafts a suggested response for straightforward queries, and routes complex cases to the right specialist with context pre-filled.
Lead enrichment and CRM qualification pipeline
B2B sales team spending significant time researching and manually logging inbound leads
Built an automated pipeline triggered on form submission or list import: company data enrichment, LinkedIn profile matching, ICP scoring, and CRM record creation — all before the lead reaches a salesperson.
E-commerce
Ecommerce operations & integrations
From inventory orchestration to AI-powered content and fully automated fulfilment pipelines — built for the realities of modern ecommerce.
Multi-channel inventory sync across 5 platforms
Online retailer selling across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and a B2B portal
Built a real-time inventory orchestration layer that propagates stock changes across all channels within seconds of any sale, return, or manual adjustment — eliminating overselling and hours of daily manual reconciliation.
Shopify to ERP real-time order pipeline
Fast-growing DTC brand needing to replace a manual CSV export workflow
Designed and shipped a webhook-driven integration between Shopify and NetSuite. Orders flow into the ERP within seconds, fulfilment statuses sync back to Shopify, and finance get clean data for reconciliation automatically.
AI-generated product content at scale
Retailer with a 12,000 SKU catalogue and inconsistent, incomplete product listings
Built a pipeline using a fine-tuned LLM to generate SEO-optimised product titles, descriptions, and bullet points from raw supplier data. A human review layer flags any low-confidence outputs before publish.
Returns and refunds automation
Apparel brand processing 200+ returns per week entirely by hand
Automated the full returns lifecycle — customer portal submission, warehouse notification, condition assessment routing, refund or exchange triggering, and carrier label generation — integrated with their Shopify and 3PL.
3PL fulfilment integration with real-time tracking
Brand switching from in-house fulfilment to a third-party logistics provider
Built the integration layer between Shopify, the new 3PL's API, and a tracking aggregator — including automatic order routing, status webhooks, branded tracking emails, and a fulfilment health dashboard.
Integrations & Data
System integrations and data pipelines
Connecting the tools your business runs on — so data flows where it needs to, automatically, without manual intervention.
Unified data layer across 8 business tools
Scale-up with customer and revenue data siloed across Stripe, HubSpot, Intercom, Shopify, and four internal spreadsheets
Designed and implemented a central data warehouse with automated ingestion from all source systems, a clean customer entity model, and a live dashboard for the leadership team — ending the weekly 'data reconciliation' meeting.
Subscription billing and entitlement automation
SaaS product with manual provisioning creating delays and occasional access errors
Integrated Stripe Billing with their internal product database and support tooling. Subscription events automatically provision or deprovision feature access, update the CRM, trigger onboarding sequences, and notify CS of at-risk accounts.
Agency client reporting, fully automated
Digital agency manually compiling weekly performance reports for 30+ clients
Built a reporting pipeline that pulls data from Google Ads, Meta, GA4, and Search Console, maps it to each client's custom KPIs, generates a branded PDF report, and delivers it to the client — every Monday morning without anyone lifting a finger.
