Workflow Developer · German electrical company (private client)May 2025 – Jun 2025 · 2 mos

I built a WhatsApp chatbot powered by artificial intelligence and connected it to the client's customer relationship management system. The chatbot answers customer messages on WhatsApp, and the details of each conversation are saved into the client's system, so the business can follow up without extra work. I delivered this project through Upwork. The problem. Many businesses receive customer messages on WhatsApp at all hours. Answering each one by hand is slow, and important details, such as a name, a question, or a request for a quote, can be lost between messages. The client wanted a faster first reply for every customer and a safe place to keep customer details. What I built. I created a chatbot that replies to customers on WhatsApp in a friendly and natural way. It understands what the customer is asking, answers common questions, and collects the information the business needs. I connected it to the customer relationship management system, so each new contact and conversation is stored where the sales team already works. I used the WhatsApp Business connection for messaging and an artificial intelligence model to write the replies. How I approached it. I began by listening to the client's most common customer questions, and I wrote the chatbot's instructions around them, so the answers sound like the business and not like a machine. I set clear limits for the chatbot, so it does not guess when it does not know something. I tested many example conversations before the chatbot went live, then fixed the places where the replies were too long, too short, or unclear. Tools used: WhatsApp Business, OpenAI, a customer relationship management system, and workflow tools to connect them. The result. Customers receive a reply quickly, and the business keeps a clean record of every conversation. The client can see who wrote in, what they asked, and what to do next, without reading every message one by one. Skills shown in this project: conversation design, prompt writing for language models, connecting messaging platforms to business systems, testing with real examples, and clear handover to a non technical client. What the client received. A working chatbot, a clear explanation of how it works, simple instructions for changing the answers later, and support after delivery. How the chatbot can grow. The same chatbot can later be extended to book appointments, send reminders, or pass a conversation to a real person when a customer needs personal help. Why this project matters. It shows that I can combine messaging, artificial intelligence, and business systems into one tool that real customers use every day. If you want a chatbot for WhatsApp, a website, or another channel, send me a short message with your business type and the questions your customers ask most. I will tell you how I would build it and what it would need. I am happy to start with a small version and grow it step by step.

Founder and Lead Developer · Deep Flow LabsApr 2023 – Present · 3 yrs 8 mos

Deep Flow Labs is my own small development and automation studio. I started it to give business owners one reliable team to plan, build, launch, and support the software they need, without the delays and confusion that come from hiring many different people. The studio builds three kinds of work. The first is custom software and web applications, including back end systems, databases, and application programming interfaces. The second is business automation, where we connect the tools a company already uses so that information moves on its own instead of being copied by hand. The third is artificial intelligence features, such as chatbots, voice assistants, and document handling that save staff many hours of routine work. My role covers every part of the job: Planning. I meet the client, learn how the business really works, and write down the goal, the steps, and the tools in plain words before any building begins. Building. I design and build the system myself, using Python, Node, React, Next.js, n8n, Make.com, Zapier, GoHighLevel, Odoo, and the OpenAI and Anthropic models, depending on what fits the problem best. Launching. I test the system, host it on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud when needed, and walk the client through how to use it. Support. After delivery, I stay available to fix problems, make small changes, and help the client grow the system as the business grows. I also keep a simple written record of what was built, so nothing is lost if the client's team changes. The studio has a clear and consistent brand, with navy and gold colours, so clients know they are dealing with a real and organised company. We work fully remote and serve clients in English, Spanish, and German, which lets us work with businesses in many countries. Work we have done includes automated document handling for a logistics company, a WhatsApp chatbot connected to a customer relationship management system, and workflows that turn voice messages into finished business documents. Each project started with a real problem and ended with a tool the client could use on their own. Who the studio works best for: owners of small and medium businesses, startups with a new idea, and teams that already have a website or system but need it to do more. Many of our clients come from logistics, real estate, online stores, healthcare, and digital marketing, and the same careful method works across all of them. What clients can expect from Deep Flow Labs: a clear plan before work starts, honest advice even when it means a smaller project, regular updates in simple language, tested work that is ready to use, and support after delivery. If you want to build something new or fix a process that wastes your time, send a short message with your goal. I will reply with a plain, honest plan and tell you what I think the best next step is. The first conversation is simply a chance to understand your goal.

Certifications and awards

Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals2023

Issued by Microsoft. This certificate proves that I understand the basics of cloud computing and of Microsoft Azure, which is one of the three biggest cloud platforms in the world. I earned it in (May, 2023) by passing the official Microsoft exam. What the certificate covers: Cloud concepts. What the cloud is, why businesses move to it, and the difference between public, private, and mixed cloud setups. It also covers the idea of paying only for what you use, and how a system can grow or shrink with demand. Azure architecture and services. The main building blocks of Azure, including virtual machines, storage, databases, networking, and tools for running web applications. It also covers how Azure is organised into regions and zones, so that a system stays online if one location has a problem. Security and identity. How users sign in, how access is controlled, and how data is protected. This includes the basic ideas behind keeping a cloud system safe and following the rules that a company must follow. Cost and support. How Azure pricing works, how to estimate and control costs, and how service agreements and support plans work. What I learned and why it matters. Many businesses already pay for Microsoft products, so Azure is often the natural home for their new software. This course gave me a clear and complete picture of how the platform fits together, and it gave me the right words to explain cloud ideas to clients who are not technical. How I use these skills in client work. When I build a web application, a back end system, or an automation, I think about where it will run, how it will stay online, how much it will cost each month, and how it will be kept safe. I host projects on Microsoft Azure when the client already uses it, and I set up automatic testing and publishing pipelines so that updates reach the live system safely. I also work with Azure OpenAI and other Microsoft tools when a client wants artificial intelligence features inside their own Microsoft setup. What clients gain. A clear plan for hosting, honest advice on monthly costs before the work begins, and a system that is built with security and growth in mind. I explain every choice in simple words. Typical projects where I use these skills: moving a website or an internal tool to Azure, setting up a safe test copy and a live copy of the same system, planning monthly hosting costs for a small business, and connecting a custom application to the Microsoft tools a company already uses, such as email and shared files. Related skills I offer: web development, back end systems, application programming interfaces, Docker, cloud hosting on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, and business automation. If you need a project hosted on Azure, moved to the cloud, or set up with a safe publishing process, send me a short message with your goal and I will tell you how I would do it.
