AI Automation · Tampa, FL
I build AI automation systems that pay for themselves.
I'm Matt Cruz, an automation engineer in Tampa. I build lead response, follow-up and back-office systems on n8n, Make, GoHighLevel and custom code, and price each one against what it makes or saves you.

What I build
Every project starts from the same question: where does automation pay for itself fastest?
Lead generation systems
Built to fill the top of your pipeline and keep it full. I find the people already looking for what you sell, get them into your CRM and make sure none of them slip through.
See a lead list build runIntake & nurture
New leads get a personal text back in under a minute, any hour of the day. The system qualifies them and flags the hot ones. The ones who go quiet stay on a nurture track until they book or say no.
GoHighLevel automationCRM & back-office automation
Migrations, two-way syncs and initial setups done right the first time. Then the automations on top: invoices, follow-ups, reporting, data entry. The work that eats your evenings runs on its own.
n8n workflows and integrationsAI agents & workflows
Agents that answer only from material you approve and hand off to a human the moment they’re unsure, and workflows that pair AI judgment with deterministic code so the output holds up run after run.
AI agent developmentI also set up Claude Code for teams and build in Make.com. See all services or recorded runs of automations I've built.

“Matt has consistently made me more money online for over a year. I'm not great with tech, but he's broken everything down for me and is constantly getting me more calls!! Anyone like myself running a one man shop and looking to improve would be lucky to have him. I'd give him 6 stars if I could!”

Ryan Ferguson
West Florida Air
“Have worked with Matt for 3 months. He built me a site, does my SEO, picks up my 11pm calls, does it all. The FB ads he runs get me a ton of jobs and he got me ranking top 5 on Google. He's good at this stuff.”

Julian Tarab
Clear Air Solutions
“Matt made me a kickass website for my new business and got us all set up on Google and our ads. He's a great guy and he's trustworthy. Best tech guy I've had, not like all the other bs ones calling me every day.”

How it works
01
Book a 15-minute call
No pitch deck. You tell me where the hours and the leads are leaking.
02
I map the highest-ROI automation
You get a diagram, a working first version, one flat price and a projected payback before you commit.
03
It goes live in days
I build it, test it against your real workflow and stay on until it runs itself.

Who's behind it
Matt Cruz, Founder
I spent ten years as a software engineer, with stops at Meta and Apple, then built the automated investment workflows behind $50M+ in returns at Duggan Investments Research, a private family office. I started Modern Code Consulting to do the same work for small businesses. When you book a call, I'm the one who picks up.
