Lead Architect for Implementation Day
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I run a live guided implementation day where founders build their own automation systems with expert support. I need a Lead Architect to own the technical design layer before the day starts and serve as the senior technical resource in the room on May 16.
Before the day: you work with the Reviewer to validate each founder's submitted Build Plan, ensure every workflow is technically sound, and produce the final implementation guide the support team works from.
On May 16: you are in the room as the most senior technical person. When a founder or a team member hits something complex that needs a judgment call — a tricky API, an unexpected edge case, a workflow that needs redesigning on the fly — you make the call. You are not running from founder to founder all day. You are the escalation resource when something genuinely hard comes up.
What I need:
Ability to read a business description in plain English and design a clean technical system from it
Strong thinking around triggers, conditions, outcomes, and edge cases
Experience building custom integrations between real business tools via APIs
Clear and calm under time pressure — founders are watching and building in real time

Answer these in your proposal:
Walk me through a complex automation system you designed for a real business from brief to delivery. What was the problem, how did you design the solution, what did the final system do.
A founder runs an HVAC company. Jobs are in Jobber. Payments through Stripe. They want automatic invoicing when a job closes, automatic follow-up if unpaid after 5 days, and a Slack alert to the owner for any job over $5,000 not invoiced within 2 hours. Design the system.
Midway through a build day a founder discovers one of their planned workflows requires an API endpoint that doesn't exist in their software. What do you do?
