I'd like to discuss with sole traders or SME owners the practical difficulties with deadlines, paperwork, accounting, HMRC and regulatory requirements.
What it's for: Cooperation – trying to ease some of them.
What it's NOT: A sales pitch, a request for services, a job offer or anything involving additional expenses.
For more detail, send me a DM,

Episode 7: Your bank balance is not your income. 💸
As a designer, money reaches you from Stripe, PayPal, Wise, direct transfers and Contra. By the time it lands, fees, currency conversion and delays have already taken a cut, and some of it never gets recorded.
That’s why a monthly bank reconciliation matters. It means matching your bank statement to your books, line by line, so you can:
✅ Spot the client invoice that was never paid
✅ Catch the software subscription you forgot to cancel
✅ Find the processor fees nobody recorded
✅ Know your real profit per project
✅ Reach tax time with clean numbers instead of a panic
It takes about 30 minutes a month. A gap you catch in October is easy to fix. A gap you find a year later is expensive.

I help founders and small businesses stop losing time and leads to manual work.
What I build:
→ AI automation: AI that reads every new lead, scores it, and routes the hot ones to your team in seconds (n8n, OpenAI, Claude)
→ GoHighLevel systems: pipelines, SMS and email follow-up, and stage gates, like the one I built for an insurance team so deals can't move without the sold value, policy details and documents
→ Bubble.io apps: MVPs, SaaS products, marketplaces and internal tools, with Stripe payments, APIs and AI features built in
→ Workflow pipelines: booking to payment to confirmation with no one touching it, like the n8n and Stripe flow I built for a cross-docking warehouse
The video shows it all in under a minute.

Impressive work! 👏 Great use of AI and workflow automation to save time, streamline operations, and help businesses convert more leads.
Built an AI system that reads supplier invoices and posts them straight into a dealer management system. No one retypes anything anymore.
The problem: a group of car dealerships was getting hundreds of supplier invoices by email and WhatsApp photos, and staff were keying every line into their DMS by hand.
What I built:
• Email and WhatsApp intake, auto-matched to the right dealership
• AI and vision extraction of vendor, tax details, and line items grouped by vehicle
• Verification and duplicate detection before anything gets posted
• A review dashboard for the few cases that need a human
• Browser automation that posts approved invoices into the DMS
• WhatsApp auto-replies that chase suppliers for missing details
Result: 280+ invoices processed so far, with zero exceptions.
Stack: Python, LLM and vision models, React, Selenium
If your team is still copying data from documents into another system, that's usually very automatable. Happy to take a look at yours.

The WhatsApp auto-replies that chase suppliers for missing details are the piece I like most, since that closes the loop instead of just flagging a gap. How do you decide when a missing field gets an automatic chase versus going to the review dashboard for a person?
