About

From automation experiments to production systems

Hi, I’m Collin. I design, deploy, and troubleshoot the systems around AI: APIs, data access, authentication, automation, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, and recovery. What began as hands-on experimentation became LogicWeave after clients started asking me to turn that work into systems they could operate and support.

Track record

Early success on Upwork

I started offering AI automation services on Upwork after graduation. Within four months, I had built a strong client track record across real AI and automation projects:

  • 20+ projects shipped
  • Five-star Upwork client history
  • Top Rated Plus status on Upwork
  • Recognized among Upwork's top 3% of performers

That track record now includes a controlled data-access layer built around a client's existing database (a roughly $7K/year quoted option against an estimated ~$40/month in AWS), a client campaign portal for a 32-client agency, and a workflow that handled 1,253 campaign approvals across six months. Every figure is labeled as quoted, estimated, or modeled. See the case studies →

Range

Production ownership and technical range

My work spans custom APIs, databases, authentication, credential security, Docker, n8n, RAG pipelines, cloud networking, deployment, monitoring, and failure recovery across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I own the path from scope and architecture through implementation, validation, documentation, and handoff.

Today

Current client systems

My current client work spans three operating environments:

  • Customer-facing AI systems — building the integrations, data access, deployment, and reliability layers around agent and voice workflows
  • Marketing and revenue operations — connecting content, lead-management, reporting, and campaign workflows
  • Distribution and internal operations — building AI-assisted review, data movement, APIs, and operational automation
Next step

Let’s build a reliable system

If you have a workflow, integration, or production system that is expensive, fragile, or too manual, I can help define the smallest reliable version and own the path from architecture through deployment and handoff.
