IT Automation & Systems Integration Specialist

Hi, I'm Elijah. I connect the systems that run a business.

I build and manage CRM systems, business automations, API integrations, and payment workflows, helping businesses connect their tools and cut out repetitive manual work. Hands-on, practical, and focused on solutions that actually hold up once they're live.

About

A hands-on technical problem solver

I'm an IT Automation & Systems Integration Specialist with hands-on experience building and managing CRM systems, business automations, API integrations, and payment workflows. I work extensively with platforms like GoHighLevel, Stripe, WhatsApp, Cloudflare, webhooks, APIs, and AI tools, helping businesses connect their systems and automate repetitive processes.

My work includes troubleshooting technical issues, building automated workflows, integrating third-party platforms, managing domains and DNS, and setting up payment and subscription systems. I focus on practical solutions that save time, reduce manual work, and make operations run more efficiently.

My approach is consistent: understand the process, find the most practical solution, implement it, test the full workflow, troubleshoot what comes up, and improve it afterward.

Skills

What I work with

CRM systems

Setting up and managing CRM systems, primarily GoHighLevel, including pipelines, custom fields, and contact workflows.

Workflow automation

Turning repetitive manual processes into automated workflows: triggers, conditions, and actions that run themselves.

API & webhook integrations

Connecting third-party platforms together so information moves automatically instead of being re-typed or forwarded.

Payments & subscriptions

Stripe and other payment gateways connected to CRM systems, so payment events trigger the right follow-up automatically.

WhatsApp automation

WhatsApp-based flows for lead qualification and follow-up messages, connected directly to CRM systems.

Domain, DNS & Cloudflare

Configuring and troubleshooting domains, DNS records, SSL certificates, and Cloudflare setup, including tricky routing issues.

AI-powered workflows

Adding AI tools into existing workflows where they genuinely save time, without overcomplicating the process.

Technical troubleshooting

Diagnosing where a system broke, fixing it, and testing the full process again so it stays fixed.

CRM & payment automation system

I built and configured an automated CRM and payment workflow connecting customer payment activity to CRM actions, so payment events could trigger automated follow-ups, internal notifications, and contact updates. This involved configuring workflow triggers, custom fields, webhooks, payment events, and pipeline actions, then testing and troubleshooting the integration to confirm information moved correctly between systems. The goal was to reduce manual payment administration and create a more reliable process for managing customers and subscriptions.

WhatsApp lead qualification & CRM automation

I configured a WhatsApp-based lead qualification process connected to a GoHighLevel CRM. The workflow collected customer information through WhatsApp and forms, stored it against the correct CRM contact, and routed leads through different processes based on their responses. This included automated WhatsApp messages, CRM fields, pipeline routing, and internal notifications. I tested the full customer journey to confirm information was captured correctly and leads reached the right next step, reducing manual lead processing.

Automated event registration & ticketing system

I built and managed an automated event registration process spanning landing page, payment, CRM tracking, confirmation messages, and attendee follow-up. This included event setup, registration forms, payment integration, pipelines, automated emails, and attendee communication, along with improvements to event tracking and check-in so the team could manage attendees without relying heavily on spreadsheets or manual admin.

Customer file upload & CRM workflow

I designed a process for collecting customer information and uploaded files while keeping everything connected to the correct customer record inside the CRM. Built for situations where customers or team members needed to submit forms together with documents or images, the work included designing the form process, identifying file storage requirements, connecting submissions to CRM contacts, and building automated workflows for internal processing, including handling larger files where the CRM's native upload capability wasn't sufficient.

Domain, DNS, SSL & Cloudflare configuration

I regularly configure and troubleshoot domains, DNS records, SSL certificates, and website routing for business systems and landing pages, across whichever registrar the domain sits on. This includes connecting domains to websites and CRM platforms, configuring A and CNAME records, resolving SSL issues, and fixing situations where root domains, subdomains, or www versions of a site behave differently or fail to connect. My approach is to identify exactly where the routing or DNS problem occurs, correct the configuration, and test the full domain setup afterward.

Let's talk about what you're working on

A few sentences about what's slow, broken, or missing is enough to start. No obligation.

I reply by email, usually within a couple of business days.

Prefer to describe the problem simply?

You don't need to know the technical terms. "Leads come in but nobody follows up fast enough" is a perfectly good starting point.
