About

Between business process and working system

My work sits at the intersection of business analysis, technical implementation and customer ownership. I lead discovery for CRM, automation and AI initiatives — then stay involved through design, testing, rollout and adoption instead of handing off a ticket.

I'm comfortable being the translation layer between customers, developers and AI specialists: business language on one side, APIs, webhooks, JSON and system states on the other.

  • Hands-on with integrations. Real n8n workflow implementation — not diagram-only analysis.
  • Requirements engineering. Ambiguity becomes business rules, acceptance criteria and tasks.
  • AI that lands in operations. Voice/chat agent outcomes wired into reliable CRM actions.
  • Ownership to adoption. From first interview to documentation and customer enablement.

Case stories

Selected work, told as stories

Real client implementations from my work at Isty — what was broken, what I built, and what changed for the business.

Case 01 · Retail · Voice AI

The flower company: from random calls to a revenue-generating voice robot

One of my clients, a flower company, had no call scripts at all. Their managers were handling incoming calls completely randomly, without any structure.

I developed a professional sales and service script for them, integrated it into a voice robot, and set up full automation between the robot and their CRM — including logging call results and automatic follow-ups.

The system didn't just standardize every conversation — it uncovered customer needs the company had never noticed before. One direct outcome of those insights: they started selling balloons as an additional product line.

  • Voice robot
  • Sales & service scripts
  • CRM automation
  • Call-outcome logging
  • Follow-ups

A chaotic process turned into a scalable, data-driven system that improved service quality and opened a new revenue stream — with the first line of communication fully automated.

Case 02 · Healthcare education · AI chat agent

Prenatal support platform: from a 3-day callback to a one-minute qualification

A company in prenatal education and support for expectant parents came to us because their managers couldn't keep up with incoming leads. Everything was getting stuck, and they assumed the problem was simply low conversion.

I started by reviewing their traffic channels and how they handled them — then went through the process as a real customer. The finding: it took 3 business days from the moment a lead submitted a request until a manager actually called. In their industry, that's far too slow.

We proposed an AI agent for messengers that immediately qualifies the lead and answers questions in real time — literally within a minute.

  • Lead qualification
  • Traffic review
  • Customer-journey walkthrough

Managers stopped wasting time on spam, junk and non-target inquiries and focused on warm, high-intent leads — a slow, overloaded first line became a fast automated qualification layer that improved both conversion and team efficiency.

Case 03 · Healthcare · CRM rebuild

Dental clinic: rebuilding a CRM that four contractors left broken

A dental clinic came to us after trying 3–4 CRM contractors over a couple of years. Those vendors made daily operations slightly easier but never thought about marketing, conversions, CRM hygiene or analytics. As a result the CRM had become a messy notebook: to pull anything useful out of it you first had to clean the data — and even then you couldn't really trust it.

The project was handed to me with full ownership. I started simple: simplified the funnels, cut the fields to the minimum, made everything as straightforward as possible. Simplification wasn't convenience for its own sake — it was how you minimize human error.

The whole system became highly automated. Operators only fill in 3–4 required fields and choose from short lists of 5–6 values. Managers can't move deals through the pipeline manually, can't create duplicates, and can't leave a deal sitting unqualified for an extra day — because if a patient with a toothache isn't contacted within minutes, they're gone.

Marketing channels were set up correctly, analytics were connected, and everything is reconciled with the clinic's medical software: when a visit happens and generates revenue, it shows up both in the sales CRM and in the final analytics.

  • CRM rebuild
  • Error-proof automation
  • Marketing channels
  • Analytics reconciliation

Trusted data instead of a messy notebook — and the client is now considering two more projects with us to improve work with existing patients.

Case 04 · Services franchise · First major voice AI

Barbershop franchise: my first voice agent — still running four years later

A barbershop franchise came to us with a clear constraint: no budget for a call center — and the quality of typical call centers wasn't good enough anyway. This was before the flower-company project, so I consider it my first major project of this kind.

They had no script and no real understanding of how their incoming calls actually went — or how they should go. So I built everything from scratch: the conversation script, the follow-up documents sent after each call, the consulting logic, answers to slippery questions, and a map of unexpected questions callers could bring up.

A voice AI agent running cheaper than a call center at the quality level they expected — four years on, the client is still happy, and moved the solution into his next company.
