AUTOMATION SERVICES
The workflow determines the stack. I connect the tools you already use, add code where it helps, and make the system understandable to the people who run it.
Explore the servicesCustom workflows, integrations, self-hosting and repairs for the automations your team depends on.
Workers, durable workflows and custom services for the parts that need more control.
Research, document processing and decision support with tools, limits and review points.
Enrolment, lesson delivery, student questions, certificates and reporting connected in one workflow.
Workflows and code on accounts you control
A clear deployment and recovery plan
Ongoing support from the person who built it
A workflow map, the failure points that matter, and a prioritised build plan with a fixed price for the work. Credited toward your build.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
I’m Hesham, a Cambridge-trained doctor turned automation engineer. I build and run the systems behind my own products, including HarperFlow. That operating experience shapes the work I do for clients.
You work with me from the first conversation through implementation and support.

Practical answers on automation, AI agents, data, delivery and support.
I work on repeatable processes involving data, content, documents, integrations and operational handoffs. The diagnostic establishes the inputs, decisions, systems and output before choosing the implementation.
Explore the servicesYes. A review can trace failures, clarify the data flow and identify which parts can be repaired or reused. The scope depends on access to the existing workflow and its operating history.
Workflow recovery and integrationWhen the task is rare, the process is still changing or a simple template solves the problem, a larger system may not be useful. The diagnostic should make that decision clearer.
Questions to ask a providerThe migration starts by mapping the current triggers, actions, data and failure paths. The new workflow is checked against representative cases before an agreed cutover.
n8n automation servicesThat depends on data requirements, usage, maintenance capacity and the team operating the system. Hosting, backups, credentials and ongoing costs belong in the decision.
Compare the hosting approachesWhere the platform provides a suitable API or webhook, custom integration may be possible. The review checks its authentication, limits, data model and supported actions before committing to the build.
Discuss an integrationAn agent can help with research, extraction or drafting that needs flexible judgement. Defined calculations and fixed sequences usually belong in ordinary code or workflows.
Agent use cases and alternativesYes. Approval points can be part of the workflow, with the proposed result and relevant context presented to the person responsible for the decision.
See an approval workflowAgree the task, representative inputs and acceptance criteria first. Evaluation covers the result, tool access, exceptions and the cost and time of the sample workload.
How agent development is scopedA defined part of the process may benefit from a custom service or durable multi-step execution. The review compares that approach with improving the workflow already in use.
Cloudflare development servicesYes. The scope can cover the data model, APIs, workflow integration, migrations and access rules, with clear ownership of records and validation of the important paths.
Database integration servicesThe implementation uses accounts you control and permissions appropriate to the job. Access, credential handling and the operating responsibilities are agreed as part of the scope.
Data and access planningA map of the workflow, its constraints and failure points, plus a prioritised plan and a fixed-price implementation scope. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the build.
See the engagement processBuilds start at $5,000. The price depends on the agreed scope, dependencies and acceptance checks. Changes outside that scope are discussed and priced before implementation.
Discuss the projectA rough outline of the process, the tools involved and one example of where the work gets stuck. A useful sample input and desired output help make the discussion concrete.
Book a free introductionThe delivery schedule is agreed after the scope and dependencies are understood. The diagnostic identifies the work and checks needed before implementation is scheduled.
Send a project outlineThe custom work is handed over and deployed on accounts you control. The scope identifies third-party services, licences, recurring costs and the documentation included.
Ownership questions to clarifyYes. A monthly retainer can cover an agreed set of systems over a 12-month term, with monitoring, defect correction and planned maintenance defined in the support agreement.
Explore ongoing supportDuring the support term, correction of a covered defect in my delivered work is included when that work does not meet the agreed specification. New requirements and third-party changes are assessed under the agreed maintenance scope.
Support scope and commitmentsOwnership, documentation and access should make a handover possible. The support agreement defines the exit process, open issues and transfer of operational responsibilities.
