That somebody is on your payroll, moving data between tools that were never introduced. I build the system that does it instead — and tells you when something goes wrong.
Nobody is watching these run. That’s the point — work moves between systems on its own, and the only time anyone hears about it is when something needs a human eye.
Notice the flagged rows. A record missing a required field gets held for review instead of written in wrong. That’s the difference between an automation you can trust and one you have to check.
Every build below is live in a business today, and each one is measured against a number the client was already tracking before I arrived.
Orders were retyped into Fishbowl line by line. A webhook now catches the data, custom JavaScript reformats it into Fishbowl’s required import structure, and the order appears without anyone opening the system.
Attachments arrive in Outlook, get identified by supplier, filed into the correct OneDrive folder and logged in Airtable. Each supplier format runs on its own branch.
Ideas sit in Notion and get drafted per platform by ChatGPT. Nothing publishes until it’s marked approved — then it goes out on schedule across every channel.
Across solar and field service, hospitality, media, ecommerce, healthcare and professional services — in Australia, the UK, the US and Canada.
Both of these are verified reviews left on Upwork, where my rating is 5.0 across 219 of them.
Shoaib is an automation master and has helped me introduce enormous value into the operations of my solar and battery business. I highly recommend Shoaib if you are thinking of hiring a freelancer for automations of any kind. Shoaib is polite, speaks great English and is a true professional. He is a hard worker, honest and has a wealth of experience that can add value in places you wouldn’t even think are possible.
Shoaib did a fantastic job helping me with my project. As someone who isn’t very tech-savvy, I really appreciated how patient he was and how well he took the time to understand my goals. He set up the exact scenarios and processes on Make.com that I needed to bring my ideas to life. Throughout the entire project, his communication was prompt, polite, and completely professional. I would hire him again for additional Make.com work without hesitation.
Most failed automation projects were scoped badly, not built badly. So I spend the first conversation working out whether the thing is worth doing at all.
We walk through the process as it happens today, step by step, including the exceptions nobody mentions until week three.
You get a fixed scope and a fixed price before anything is built. If it isn’t worth automating, I’ll tell you that instead.
Built against your real data, not a demo account, with error handling on every branch from the start.
Documentation you can actually read, plus monitoring so failures get flagged rather than discovered by a customer.
Connecting two apps that already integrate is the easy part, and plenty of people do it well. The work worth paying for starts when the API is undocumented, the data arrives in the wrong shape, or the platform expects an import format nobody wrote down.
I’ve integrated Pylon, Fishbowl, Beds24, IsolarCloud, Drchrono and Acuity directly — none of which had a module waiting for me.
That’s usually why people contact me. If the system has an API, I connect to it directly — I’ve done it for Pylon, Fishbowl, Beds24, IsolarCloud and others. If it has no API at all, I’ll tell you on the first call rather than three weeks in.
Most automations do break eventually — a field gets renamed, an API updates, someone adds a column. The difference is whether it tells you. Every build includes error handling and monitoring, so failures get flagged rather than discovered by an angry customer three weeks later.
Yours. Replacing a working system is expensive and disruptive, and it’s rarely the actual problem. The problem is usually that your tools don’t talk to each other.
Most single-workflow builds land between $600 and $2,500 depending on complexity and how many systems are involved. You get a fixed price before anything starts.
Usually within a week for scoping, with most single-workflow builds delivered in one to three weeks after that. A small team handles build work alongside me, but I scope every project myself and review everything before it ships.
Send me one paragraph describing it. I’ll tell you what it would take to automate — or tell you honestly that it isn’t worth it.
