CRM systems built to actually work in production — not just demo-ready.
Background
I'm Taimoor Akhtar, an AI Automation Engineer and GoHighLevel backend specialist based in Pakistan, serving operators across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. The unusual combination on my desk is a Bachelor of Business Law (completed 2020) sitting next to GHL workflow builder, n8n canvases, and the Claude API — which means I build compliance-grade automation infrastructure that's actually defensible.
Whether it's an A2P 10DLC brand registration for a roofing operator after two TCR rejections, a three-pipeline apartment CRM for a 400-unit property manager, or a voice-to-platform content engine that turns a 90-second voice note into LinkedIn, X, and Facebook drafts — the goal is the same: production-grade systems that don't break the moment a real customer hits them.

Taimoor built our entire CRM stack from scratch — multi-source lead routing, A2P compliance, and a custom dashboard that finally lets us see what's actually working. He documents everything and ships production-ready, not demo-ready. We've recommended him to two other agencies already.

Both. I work directly with operators (home services, real estate, finance, professional services) and as a white-label partner for marketing agencies who need GHL or automation expertise without hiring full-time. White-label clients get unbranded deliverables and full IP transfer.
I'm based in Pakistan (PKT, UTC+5). For US clients I overlap mornings (EST/CST/PST), for UK and EU I overlap most of the workday, for AU I overlap mornings/evenings. Async-first by default — Loom, Slack, email, structured handoffs. Synchronous calls when needed.
GHL is great for service businesses (home services, real estate, agencies, professional services) where you need CRM + SMS + email + calendars + workflows in one place. It's overkill for pure e-commerce, and it's underpowered for enterprise-grade reporting. I'll tell you honestly during a discovery call whether GHL or HubSpot/Salesforce/custom is the right fit.
If you're sending SMS to US numbers without registered A2P 10DLC brand and campaigns, carriers throttle or block your traffic. Practically: high non-delivery rates, sometimes silently. Registration with TCR (The Campaign Registry) is required. I handle the brand registration, campaign use-case selection, and the consent/disclosure layer in your forms, privacy policy, and terms to pass TCR review.
Yes. Three retainer tiers: light (10 hrs/month, async optimization), standard (25 hrs/month, ongoing builds + monitoring), and full-service (40+ hrs/month, dedicated automation engineer for your account). All retainers include monthly health reports and proactive system review.
Yes — this is most of my work. Start with the free audit and I'll map out exactly what's broken, what's bleeding leads, and what's salvageable. From there you'll get a prioritized fix list. Sometimes a rebuild is faster than a fix; I'll tell you honestly which it is for your case.
Yes. Common patterns: SMS bot for inbound qualifying, voice receptionist for after-hours, document processing pipelines for intake forms, content generation for outbound, and lead scoring with AI-judged signals. I wire these into GoHighLevel via Conversation AI or via n8n/Make.com for more complex orchestration.
Fixed scopes preferred — you know what you're paying and what you're getting. Hourly only for retainers and exploratory work. Discovery calls and audits are free. Most projects land between $400 and $2,500. Larger CRM migrations and multi-month builds quoted after scoping.
Yes — HubSpot, Salesforce, Closebot, Pipedrive, custom CSVs, and legacy databases. Process: field map → workflow rebuild → staged import → live cutover with zero downtime. Largest single migration to date: 47K contacts with full attribution preserved.
Yes. Full IP transfer on completion. All workflows, snapshots, code, prompts, and documentation belong to you. I provide SOPs so your team can maintain the system without me. No vendor lock-in.
A focused single-pipeline build with A2P compliance and 3–5 workflows: 2–3 weeks. Full multi-pipeline CRM with dashboards, AI agents, and migrations: 4–6 weeks. Discovery and scoping are fast — usually 1–2 working days after the initial call.
Every milestone has a review-and-revise cycle baked in. If a deliverable doesn't meet the agreed spec, I fix it at no extra cost until it does. Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success Score isn't a slogan — it's how I price and operate. If a project truly isn't working, we'll restructure or part ways professionally.
