Mervin is a solo developer and Certified HighLevel Admin based in the Philippines who builds AI-powered systems, custom apps, and automations for businesses.
Most automation work hits a wall at the edge of the tool. Mervin's usually doesn't, because he also codes and ships with AI. If GHL, Make, or Zapier can't cover it, he'll write the app, API, or AI workflow that does. One person, start to finish.
What this usually fixes
- Manual work that could be an AI workflow.
- Tools that don't talk to each other.
- Reports and follow-ups nobody has time to send.
- Setups that break every time a new client is added.
- Anything still living in a spreadsheet that shouldn't be.
Who he works with
- Marketing agencies who want AI-assisted onboarding and client work.
- SaaS teams and coaches who need their platform connected to the rest of their
stack.
- Service businesses tired of copy-pasting between apps.
How it goes
1. Look at what's happening now and find where the time goes.
2. Agree on what the workflow should look like.
3. Build it with AI, code, GHL, or all three.
4. Document it and hand it over.
