Automation that actually runs.

Your CRM doesn't talk to your accounting. Your support tool doesn't tell sales when a customer's unhappy. Someone on the team copies data between spreadsheets every Friday. I build the automation that kills the manual work — and builds it to last, not to break next Tuesday.

Ask me anything — I'll reply now Telegram → +1 (312) 735-41-85 → contact@klim.expert →

You're running a business that mostly works — and someone is quietly doing the work a computer should be doing.

It's almost always the same story. A lead comes in through a form, someone pastes it into the CRM. An order's placed, and a person emails the warehouse. A customer cancels, and three systems need to be updated manually. The bookkeeping pulls reports from five places every month. And there's always that one thing that nobody quite knows how it works — just that if Maria quits, the whole process stops.

You've probably tried Zapier. It worked for a while. Then something changed in one of the apps, the automation broke silently, and now nobody trusts it. Or you hired someone to build a bunch of connections and they left, and now it's eight Zaps held together with prayer and nobody can tell what they even do anymore.

The real answer isn't more Zaps. It's someone who understands what your business actually does, picks the right tools for YOUR situation — sometimes Zapier, sometimes n8n, sometimes custom code — and builds it so it keeps running. With monitoring. With documentation. So when something does break, somebody knows why.

Call me if any of this sounds familiar:
  • A person on your team spends hours every week doing manual data entry between systems
  • You've got 8+ Zapier connections and nobody's entirely sure what half of them do anymore
  • Your leads / orders / tickets live in different tools that don't talk to each other
  • Month-end reports take days to pull together from scattered sources
  • Something critical broke last month because an automation silently failed and nobody noticed
  • You're pretty sure half your 'processes' are just 'Sarah knows how to do it'

Your first automation is on me.

A thirty-minute call

We talk about what's manual, what's painful, what breaks. I ask to watch someone actually do the repetitive work — that's where the best automations hide.

A free working automation

About a week of my time. I pick the one process that's costing you the most and build real automation around it. Running in production, monitored, documented. Not a demo.

You try it. You decide.

Use it for a week. See if it saves the hours I claim it will. If yes, we scope what's next. If not, you keep what I built and we're done. No hard feelings.

No contract. No commitment.

Not a sales tactic with fine print. The first automation is genuinely free — up to about forty hours of my work on one well-scoped process. That's how I prove I'm worth it without asking you to trust me first.

Everything is yours, and your team can extend it

Code, accounts, documentation — all handed over. Then I show your team how to modify it using AI. Most tweaks (new field, different trigger, extra step) they'll do themselves in minutes. No dependency on me.

Where I make my money

On the months and years after — when we automate the next process, integrate a new tool, scale what's working. But you choose to come back every time. It's not a trap.

What usually happens, step by step.

01
free · this week

A thirty-minute call

My part
I ask what's eating your team's time. What runs manually that shouldn't. What breaks silently. Who has 'tribal knowledge' that's a risk if they leave.
Your part
Be honest about the mess. Better to surface it now than discover it halfway through building.
Deliverable
Shared understanding of where automation actually pays off — and whether I'm the right person.
02
free · about a week

I build your first automation

My part
I pick the highest-pain, highest-value flow and build it. Real automation, production-grade — not a prototype. With monitoring from day one so when it does break, we know.
Your part
Give me access to the tools involved. Be available for quick questions. Watch the first run with me.
Deliverable
Working automation running in your production environment. Your team gets time back immediately.
03
one week

You try it for a week

My part
I watch for errors, fix anything I missed, tweak based on what real usage reveals. Available for questions.
Your part
Let it run. See if it actually saves the hours I claimed. Flag anything that feels wrong.
Deliverable
A yes or no on continuing. If no, you keep the automation and the docs. Either way it's yours.
04
a few days

We plan what's next

My part
I write a plain-language plan for phase two — which other processes to automate, in what order, for what fixed price. No hourly billing.
Your part
Pick what matters most to your business. Push back on priorities that don't match your reality.
Deliverable
A written scope + fixed-price for the next wave of automations.
05
ongoing

Weekly automation, as long as you want

My part
Every week something new goes live. I keep everything monitored, documented, upgradeable. Your team learns to modify flows themselves using AI.
Your part
Thirty-minute weekly review. Tell me what to automate next.
Deliverable
A business that runs on software instead of heroic effort — and a team that can extend it themselves.

A short note on the tools, for those who care.

The right tool depends on what you're automating and who maintains it after me. I pick boring and reliable. No exotic platforms. Nothing that locks you into me.

When Zapier or Make are the right fit
Zapier · Make
Simple flows, common apps, your team wants to see the steps. Fast to build, slow when it scales.
When self-hosted n8n is the right fit
n8n
Complex logic, sensitive data, heavy volume, or per-task fees are getting painful. Lives on your server, unlimited runs, same visual editor.
When custom code is the right fit
Python · Node.js · PHP · Go
Mission-critical reliability, performance-sensitive, or nothing off-the-shelf fits. Writes the tightest, fastest automation but needs a developer to change.
Monitoring and alerts
Sentry · custom dashboards · email / Telegram alerts
Because the worst automation is one that breaks and nobody notices for two weeks.

Who I'm the right person for — and who I'm not.

Call me if:

  • You can name at least one process that's eating hours every week
  • You've tried Zapier and it's either breaking or not scaling
  • You want the automation documented so someone besides you understands it
  • You'd rather pay once for a working system than forever for per-task SaaS fees
  • You value reliability over novelty — boring automation that just runs
  • You can make the call yourself or quickly get the person who can

Don't call me if:

  • You want a one-time, cheap, 'just fix this one Zap' — I'm not the freelance-marketplace person
  • You don't yet know what you want to automate — come back when there's a concrete process
  • You want fully autonomous AI agents — that's a different service
  • Your business is adversarial scraping, adult content, or casino / gambling
  • You want someone to rubber-stamp what you've already built — I give honest feedback

A distillery that ran on fifteen spreadsheets.

ManufacturingMulti-systemLong-term
Problem
A distillery in Chicago was running most of their operation through a mix of spreadsheets, QuickBooks, a production tool, and email. Warehouse counts in one place, orders in another, compliance reports built manually every month — nothing talked to anything. Someone on the team spent two days at the end of every month just reconciling data.
Approach
We started with the single biggest pain — the month-end reconciliation. One week, I built automation that pulled the data from every source, compared it, flagged mismatches, and produced the report. From there we kept going — warehouse-to-orders sync, compliance-reporting pipeline, a Slack alert for low inventory. Each automation replaced hours of manual work.
Outcome
Seven years later, the same automation infrastructure is still running — extended, updated, but never replaced. Month-end reconciliation went from two days to fifteen minutes. The team shifted from data-entry to work that actually needs human judgment.

Workflow Automation Services

How much time does your team spend on repetitive tasks? Data entry, report generation, moving information between systems, sending follow-up emails. These tasks eat hours every week - hours that should go toward work that actually requires human judgment.

What I Automate

Data Entry & Sync - New lead in your CRM? Automatically create records in your accounting system, project management tool, and email list.

Notifications & Alerts - Get Slack messages when important events happen. Email summaries of daily activity. Alerts when something needs attention.

Report Generation - Automated daily/weekly reports pulled from your systems, formatted, and delivered where you need them.

Document Processing - Extract data from forms, invoices, or emails. Route to the right people. Update your systems.

Approval Workflows - Multi-step approval processes that route correctly, remind when stalled, and track everything.

Tools I Work With

No-Code Platforms

  • Zapier - Great for simple, reliable automations
  • Make (Integromat) - More complex logic, better pricing at scale
  • n8n - Self-hosted option, full control, no per-task fees

Custom Development

  • Direct API integrations when no-code won't work
  • Custom scripts for complex transformations
  • Database triggers and scheduled jobs

My Process

  1. Map Current Workflows - Understand exactly what happens today
  2. Identify Automation Opportunities - Find the high-impact, low-risk wins
  3. Design & Build - Create the automation with proper error handling
  4. Test Thoroughly - Edge cases, failure scenarios, load testing
  5. Document & Train - Your team knows how it works
  6. Monitor & Support - Ongoing visibility into automation health

Real Results

Typical outcomes from automation projects:

  • 10-20 hours/week saved on data entry
  • Response times cut from hours to minutes
  • Zero manual errors in automated processes
  • Team focuses on high-value work

Get Started

Tell me about a process that frustrates your team. I'll give you an honest assessment of whether automation makes sense and what it would take.

Dmytro Klymentiev

Independent engineer. Twenty years connecting systems that weren't meant to connect — and making the boring, reliable automation behind actual businesses.

I've been building integrations since before the word 'API' was mainstream. Back-office systems, order pipelines, data synchronisation, reporting automation — the plumbing nobody sees but that everyone depends on.

What changed with AI is speed. A solo engineer now ships in a day what agencies quote two months for. But reliability — the part that actually matters — that's still the old-fashioned discipline. Monitoring. Documentation. Thinking through every failure mode before it happens.

Based in Chicago, working worldwide. Contracts direct or through a US entity.

Questions you might have.

Zapier vs Make vs n8n — which should I use?

It depends. Zapier for common simple flows where your team already uses it. Make when logic gets complex and you want visual editing. n8n when you need self-hosting, heavy volume, or the per-task fees are getting expensive. I pick the right one after I see your actual use case — not the other way around.

What will this cost?

Depends on what we're building — every engagement is scoped individually. The honest way to find out: we have a thirty-minute call, I build your first automation free, and if we continue, I write a scope document with a fixed price before any paid work starts. No hourly billing surprises.

What if the automation breaks?

Every automation I ship has monitoring built in from day one — you get alerts the moment something goes wrong, not two weeks later when a customer complains. And because everything is documented in plain language, your team can often fix small issues themselves. For bigger issues, there's me — or any engineer, since your code is yours.

Can my team change the automation later without you?

Yes — that's a core deliverable. When we wrap up, I train the people who'll actually use the system on how to modify flows using AI. Adding a new step, changing a filter, swapping an app — most small tweaks, they'll do in minutes. You come back to me when you want to, not because you have to.

What about AI automations — agents, LLMs, that stuff?

Those are a different service (ai-agent-development). Workflow automation here is deterministic — if this happens, do that. Reliable, auditable, predictable. AI agents are for tasks where the logic is fuzzy. Happy to discuss which category your problem falls into on the call.

Can you work with tools I already use?

Almost certainly yes. I've integrated every mainstream CRM, accounting tool, e-commerce platform, support ticketing system, email provider, and about a hundred niche ones. If it has any kind of API or even an email trigger, it's integrable.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Standard mutual NDA before we discuss anything sensitive.

How fast can you start?

First call this week. Free first automation typically starts within one to two weeks. Urgent? Ask — sometimes there's slack.

Written commitments, not marketing promises.

01

First automation genuinely free

No hidden catch. No auto-billing after trial. You see the work, you decide.

02

Monitoring from day one

Every automation I ship tells you when it breaks. You'll never find out two weeks later.

03

Plain-language documentation

Every flow documented so the next person who touches it understands what it does and why.

04

Your accounts, your keys, your code

Everything runs on your credentials. I don't hold anything hostage.

05

Your team can modify with AI

I train the people who use it on how to change it themselves. No locked-in dependency on me.

06

Straight answers about tool choice

If Zapier is the right answer for you, I'll say so — even though I could charge more for custom code.

Let's start with a free first automation.

Book a thirty-minute call this week. Tell me what's eating your team's time. I'll tell you honestly whether automation is the answer, and which process to tackle first.
