About me
I'm Dylan, an AI Automation Specialist based in Sydney. I work out which processes are worth automating, build the agents that handle them, and keep them running once they're live.

Experience
AI Automation Specialist · Sydney Piling
I build and manage the AI systems that run the back office - picking which processes are worth automating, scoping what an agent should own, building and testing it, then running it once it is live.
