I'm Hisham Hanawi. I map how your operation actually runs, then build the connective tissue that runs it: the workflows, the data layer, the dashboards and the integrations. I build for founders and operators at companies of 5 to 100 people.
The symptoms are the same everywhere: data copied by hand, follow-ups that depend on memory, two systems that disagree, spend with no ceiling. Not one-off zaps: I map how the operation actually runs, then build the connective tissue that makes it run itself. Everything ships idempotent and safe to re-run, audit-logged, and gated on a person where judgment matters.
| Service | What it means | Runs on | Open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automation audit and rescue | Fix, harden and document fragile n8n and Make workflows that everyone is afraid to touch. | N8N · MAKE | → |
| Operations automation build | Map a process, then build the n8n or Make engine that runs it, gated on a human where it matters. | N8N · MAKE | → |
| Data layer and migrations | Airtable and Supabase schemas, idempotent sync scripts, Airtable to Supabase and Make to n8n migrations. | AIRTABLE · SUPABASE | → |
| Internal tools and dashboards | Next.js apps and KPI dashboards so a team operates from one screen, fed by the automated data layer. | NEXT.JS · VERCEL | → |
| Systems integration | CRM, billing, outreach and data connected through custom API integrations that survive bad days. | REST · WEBHOOKS | → |
| AI in the workflow | Language-model steps for classification, generation, routing and agents, only where they earn their keep. | LLM · RAG | → |
Every screenshot on this site comes from a system I built, published from a redacted set. Where an interface shows seeded demo data, the caption says so. Three of the five systems are below, different problems on purpose: the failure modes are the same underneath.
Live
The whole hiring pipeline, posting through onboarding: a recruiter portal backed by eight n8n workflows. Resume screening is automated end to end. All eight workflows run live.
Fail-safe
Anything the model cannot read confidently stops at a human gate instead of being rejected by a guess.
Productized build
Lead capture through to close in one platform: AI lead scoring, automated follow-up across SMS, email and calls, integrated scheduling, and a communications hub that logs every touch.
Manual override
Automation with the manual override kept intact.
Live
Outreach at scale without burning the domains: seven interlocking n8n workflows where every prospect keeps one sender for the whole sequence.
Fail-safe
Every inbox has a hard daily quota, and a reply stops the automation.
All five systems, including the retrieval layer and the sourcing pipeline.
Voice agent client
His n8n and workflow automation expertise was clear as he quickly diagnosed issues, implemented clean fixes, and explained every step in plain language. Communication was professional and fast.

Automation audit client
Hisham did an excellent job on our AI automation work. I was very impressed with how quickly he understood the requirements and delivered high-quality results.
January 2026
n8n coaching client
He came well-prepared, explained everything clearly, and shared his knowledge and expertise in a way that made the material easy to understand.

Verbatim from Upwork reviews on this profile
We walk through how the operation actually runs, not how the org chart says it runs. I map every step, owner, tool and failure point before anything gets built.
The smallest system that removes the manual work. Idempotent and safe to re-run, so a duplicate trigger or a mid-run failure never double-writes or double-sends.
Audit logs on every write, alerts when something needs a person, and human gates wherever a wrong automated decision would be expensive.
Documentation someone other than me can act on, a walkthrough of the system, and clean ownership. You never have to keep paying me to understand your own operation. Handover is not goodbye: I stay reachable after launch, and ongoing monitoring and changes are available as a retainer when you want someone permanently on the hook.

I will show you what automating it looks like: what stays manual, what runs itself, and where the human gates belong. If the honest answer is that automation will not pay for itself, that is the recommendation.
