What I Build
Engineering engagements, built to last.
Most Upwork projects get scoped as a task. I scope mine as an engineering engagement, ex: CRM builds that survive volume, lead systems that hold every contact, reporting your team trusts, and AI agents that earn their place. Same rigor whether you come through Upwork or direct.
Revenue Infrastructure
The operational foundation everything else compounds on. CRMs that match how the team sells. Payment infrastructure that closes the loop back to attribution. The architecture decisions most growing businesses skipped.
Lead and Customer Systems
Turning marketing spend into revenue you can see. Instant response on every form, routing that puts the right lead in front of the right person, follow up that never drops a contact, and conversion that happens before the lead loses interest.
AI Agents and Orchestration
AI that replaces the part of the work the team can't afford to do manually. Voice agents that qualify callers. Chatbots configured with the real sales process. Engineering past what the platform gives you.
Reporting and Dashboards
The capability to make decisions from clean data. Pipeline visibility, ad attribution, operational dashboards from data the team trusts. Built on architecture that holds up under scrutiny.
Custom Builds and Integrations
When the off the shelf answer doesn't fit. Standalone apps, financial data pipelines, dispatch systems. The integrations that connect platforms that don't otherwise talk.
Engineering and Reliability
Monitoring, alerting, error handling, documentation. The operational rigor that separates a build that works on day one from a build that survives volume and team turnover.
Recent Engagements
Engineering work that moved businesses.
A handful of recent builds across different industries. Outcomes are real.
Court records automation
Replaced manual court records pulls with one automated pipeline. 130+ hours per month recovered. Roughly $52K per year in labor costs eliminated.
Shopify to Xero product sync
Engineered a Shopify to Xero sync that replaced a discontinued integration. Bulk fetch reduced 157 API calls to 2. 60 hours of manual data entry per month, eliminated. Hasn't required intervention since launch.
GPS gated dispatch system
Four phase dispatch system for a mobile commercial tire service. Dynamic pricing, GPS arrival verification, proof gate with photos and DOT verification, automated balance invoicing. Replaced manual phone dispatch.
AI booking agent
AI booking agent integrated with the clinic's practice management system. Patients book, reschedule, and cancel without staff intervention. 24/7 availability across 10+ locations.
Multi client ad reporting
Automated monthly ad spend reporting for an agency managing multiple clients with different fee structures. Replaced a one day per month per client manual process. The visibility layer they couldn't get from the platforms directly.
What Clients Say
"Seth is my go-to for all of my automation projects now. His process in defining the project scope ahead of time ensures that I get everything I need and we're on the same page throughout."
"Extremely knowledgeable and patient. He thought outside the box to offer solutions we did not consider. Highly recommend and we will use him again."
"Seth is an amazing rare breed. He is not just focused on what is asked of him, he actually scopes the need to make sure the work meets your need to the maximum level. Brilliant Developer and the kind of man you wished was your neighbor."
"If you need an automation specialist, stop looking right now and hire Seth. He will blow your mind with his knowledge and his ability to take your idea and not only understand what you want to achieve but also build on it without ever overwhelming you with jargon. His communication is phenomenal, and you will always know the next steps for your project. I was absolutely blown away by the experience working with Seth, and I highly recommend him!"
How It Works
How every engagement runs.
Discovery
We talk through what's going on. What tools you have, what's broken. If there's a clean build here, I'll tell you. If there isn't, I'll tell you that too.
Architect
I design the system before writing code. Data flow, integration points, failure handling. The architecture decides whether the build survives volume.
Build
I write a clear scope, build it, test with real data, and keep you in the loop. Fixed timeline, fixed price.
Handoff
You get the working system, a walkthrough on video, and documentation that makes sense. You own everything I build. Partnership picks up here if you want it.
Where the work lives
Launch Forte is my company.
The audits, the builds, and the partnerships all run through it, and Upwork is one door in. If you are ready to start, an Upwork message is the fastest way, and the full practice is at launchforte.com when you want the bigger picture.

Growth Systems Audit
Three days. The diagnostic that decides what to build and what it's worth.
Core Systems Build
Fixed price after audit. Most builds 7 to 21 days.
Embedded Growth Systems Partner

Hire me on Upwork, or reach me directly.
Most Upwork buyers reach out about a specific build, and an Upwork message is the fastest way to start one. If you'd rather work outside the platform, the audit and direct email are the same path. Same engineer, same standards, your call which door.
