Businesses lose leads, revenue, and time because their systems aren't built to scale. I build the systems that fix that.
I'm Evan Joy — a CRM and Automation Architect specializing in GoHighLevel, Make (Integromat), and end-to-end business automation. I design, build, and deliver complete operational systems — from intake funnels and deal pipelines to automated follow-up engines, hiring systems, training programs, and community platforms — so businesses can grow without adding manual work.
My builds don't just automate tasks. They create structured, trackable, and scalable workflows that move leads through a defined journey, alert the right people at the right time, and give business owners full visibility into their entire operation.

I started my career in customer service and was promoted to Product Trainer early — that foundation gave me a client-first mindset and a commitment to clear documentation and clean handoffs. Every system I build is delivered with guides, checklists, and testing protocols so your team can run it confidently without depending on me.
