Taking on projects · Kuala Lumpur / Perlis, Malaysia
Harith
Irfan.
I automate the repetitive work that slows small businesses down, and I build the websites that bring customers in.
Invoices retyped by hand. Orders buried in WhatsApp. A report someone rebuilds every Friday. Show me the task and I'll build the system that does it for you. If you need a website too, you get a finished site, live and working.

01What I build
What I build for small businesses
Two things, done properly. Automation comes first, because that's where most owners lose the most hours.
Automation projects
Pick one job your team repeats every day. I map how it runs now, build the automation, test it end to end with your real data, then hand it over with a short guide your staff can follow.
What that can look like
- Documents and PDFs read and sent into your system, no retyping
- Your tools connected through APIs, so data moves on its own
- AI that sorts, checks or drafts the routine stuff, with a person approving what matters
Websites, built and delivered
You get a finished website, live on your domain and quick on any phone. Pages, contact forms and your content are part of the build, and so is the design. Built with Next.js and hosted on Vercel, with Supabase when you need logins or a database.
How a project runs
// Step 1Map how your business actually works
// Step 2Agree one clear goal and a fixed price
// Step 3Build the automation or the site
// Step 4Test the full flow end to end
// Step 5Hand over, with a guide your team can use
// AlwaysFlag it early when something needs your call
