What I do

Systems that work
end-to-end

I don't build isolated automations. I design complete workflows that handle the real complexity of your business — edge cases, error handling, and all.

AI

AI Automation Systems

OpenAI and LLM pipelines integrated into real business workflows. Content generation, data processing, classification, summarization — built with proper prompt engineering and production-grade error handling.

Soul Signals / Josh Kincaid — Content Automation

YouTube Shorts Automation System

"Riaz was a pleasure to work with on a complex n8n automation project. He took on an end-to-end YouTube Shorts pipeline (Google Drive, Whisper, ffmpeg, OpenAI, Sheets, YouTube upload)..."

Long-form podcast videos processed automatically — transcribed with Whisper, viral moments identified via GPT analysis, short vertical clips cut with FFmpeg, speaker-focused cropping applied, and delivered to a Google Sheets approval workflow before publishing. Full end-to-end pipeline.

Outcome: Hours of manual editing reduced to minutes of reviewing AI-selected moments. Pipeline runs continuously without manual input.

Browser-Based Assessment Report System

Replaced email-only report delivery with a full browser-based platform. Users complete assessments via LimeSurvey, pay via Stripe for premium reports, and access a WordPress-hosted report viewer with free vs paid tier logic — all orchestrated via n8n connected to PostgreSQL. Token-based access prevents unauthorized viewing.

Outcome: Zero manual report delivery. Payment-gated access fully automated. Clients can view and revisit reports online at any time.

CRM Automation — Lead Generation

Zoho CRM Website Audit Lead Pipeline

A fully automated cold outreach system that scrapes prospect websites, audits them for issues (SEO gaps, broken links, missing schema, page speed), scores each problem by severity, creates structured CRM leads in Zoho, and triggers personalized email sequences — different problems trigger completely different email paths.

Outcome: Fully automated cold outreach. Every prospect receives hyper-relevant emails based on their actual site issues, not generic templates.

Why work with me

I solve problems.
I don't just
run tools.

Most automation freelancers know how to configure nodes. I understand what your business actually needs — and I build the system around that, not around what's easy to set up.

If something breaks at 2am, I've already thought about it. If an API changes, the system adapts. If you scale to 10x the volume, the workflow handles it.

— Soul Signals, Upwork Review
Start a conversation

Full system thinking, not single nodes

I map the entire process before touching a tool — fewer gaps, cleaner data flows, workflows that don't fall apart in production.

AI + automation + data + CRM — together

Most people specialize in one layer. I connect your AI pipeline, CRM, database, and APIs into one coherent working system.

I explain technical things in business language

You'll always know what's being built and why. No jargon walls. No "just trust me." You stay in control.

I debug and fix broken systems too

Inherited a messy workflow? I can audit, diagnose, and fix what someone else left behind — or what grew beyond your control.

Production-first reliability

Error handling, retries, edge cases, logging. Every system built like it needs to handle 10,000 triggers a day — because someday it might.

How I work

A clear process.
No surprises.

From first message to live system — here's how a project runs.

Discovery Call

I listen, ask the right questions, and understand what you actually need — not what sounds impressive.

Scoping & Proposal

I map the system design, define deliverables, and send a fixed-scope proposal with timeline and pricing.

Build & Update

I build in stages and keep you updated. No long silences. You see progress and give feedback early.

Test & Refine

Every workflow tested with real data — edge cases, error states, and unexpected inputs all checked.

Handover & Support

I document everything, walk your team through it, and provide a post-launch support window.

About me

I build systems
for people who are
serious about
their business.

I'm Riaz Hatvi (Riaz Khan) — an AI automation specialist and workflow engineer based in Gilgit, Pakistan. I work with founders, agencies, clinics, media teams, and e-commerce businesses to build automation systems that actually run their operations.

What makes me different: I understand business logic, not just technical tools. Before I write a single line of code or drag a single node, I make sure I understand your process, your bottlenecks, and what success looks like for your team.

I've built CRM automation systems, AI content pipelines, browser-based reporting platforms, video production workflows, and API integrations across dozens of platforms. My work sits at the intersection of AI, automation, data, and practical business operations.

I work with a small number of clients at a time. When you hire me, you get focused attention — not a project handed off to a junior.

Questions

Frequently asked

I work with founders, agencies, coaches, clinics, media teams, and e-commerce businesses. If you have repetitive work, data moving between tools, or manual steps your team shouldn't be doing — that's something I can automate. Industry doesn't matter as much as whether you have a real process problem to solve.
Both, depending on the project. Well-defined projects with clear scope work best on fixed price — you know exactly what you're getting. Ongoing development, debugging, or exploratory work is better hourly. I'll recommend the right structure after a discovery call.
That's fine — most clients don't. Tell me what problem you're trying to solve, what tools you use, and what your team spends too much time on. I'll ask the right questions and help you figure out what to build and in what order.
Yes. Every project includes documentation of what was built, how it works, and how to manage it. I also do a walkthrough call at handover so your team knows exactly what they're working with.
Almost always yes. I've integrated Zoho, GoHighLevel, WordPress, Stripe, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Twilio, LimeSurvey, and many more. If a tool has an API or webhook support, it can be connected.
Smaller workflows take 3–7 days. Projects with a few integrations take 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-system builds take 3–6 weeks. I give realistic timelines at scoping — not optimistic estimates that slip.
All projects include a post-delivery support window. If something breaks due to an API change or edge case, I'll look at it and help you get it sorted.
Upwork gives payment protection — great for first-time projects. Direct contact gives more flexibility and better rates for larger or ongoing work. Either way you get the same quality.
Yes. If your project involves sensitive processes or proprietary systems, I'm happy to sign an NDA before we discuss details. Just mention it when you reach out.
Yes. I audit existing workflows, explain what's wrong, and either fix or rebuild them. This is a common project type — broken n8n flows, messy Make.com scenarios, or half-built automation systems.
