AI Automation Engineer

I turn operational bottlenecks into automated systems.

Automation pipelines, intelligent workflows, and AI-powered tools built around how your operation actually runs. Not a template. Not a pitch. An honest fit assessment before we ever get on a call.

I spent 20 years in digital marketing watching smart teams drown in manual work. When AI changed everything, I crossed over and started building the systems I always wished my clients had. Now I build them for yours.

The real problem

Most teams don't have an AI problem. They have a process problem AI keeps tripping over.

Automation built on a broken process just breaks faster. Before anything gets built, I map where the friction actually lives, why previous fixes didn't hold, and what a system would need to do to run without someone managing it by hand.

Most software promises to do everything. Most of it does one thing correctly and creates three new problems. My job is to find what actually needs to change, and build around how you already work rather than asking you to learn something new while running your business.

"The diagnosis is the work. The automation is the output."

How every engagement starts

"I don't ask you to change how you work. I build the system around how you already do."

The difference that matters

About Cinnamon

I'm Cinnamon McCann, an AI Automation Engineer with over 20 years of digital marketing experience. I understand your operation from the inside because I spent two decades living in the same manual workflows you're trying to escape.

When large language models changed everything, I didn't wait to see what would happen to my industry. I learned everything I could and started applying AI and workflow automation to the exact problems I'd watched clients struggle with for years. The difference between me and a pure technologist is that I know what the work actually looks like before the system touches it.

I build custom solutions that fit around your business, not bloated software that demands you change for it.

How I work

Four ways to engage. One honest filter.

Every engagement starts with the same question: what does this operation actually need? The answer determines how we work together.

Consult

Strategy and diagnosis before anything gets built. I map your process, identify where automation can hold, and give you a clear picture of what is worth building and what is not.

Build Together

I design and architect the system. Your team builds it alongside me. You get the outcome and the internal capability to maintain and extend it after I leave.

Build It for You

Full delivery. I design, build, and hand off a working automated system. You get a result, not a project. Your team doesn't need to touch the build.

Live Training and Workshops

Hands-on sessions for teams who want to build internal AI capability. Practical, not theoretical. We work inside your actual tools, your workflows, with your team.

Selected Work

Systems built. Problems solved.

A selection of engagements across industries. Each one started with a broken process and ended with a system that runs.

Before you book

Test your problem against real experience.

Describe your workflow, constraint, or goal. The system searches my documented project experience and gives you an honest assessment of whether we are a fit, including where the gaps are. No sales call required to find out.

This assessment is generated by AI based on documented project experience. It is informational only and does not constitute a commitment to engage.

Searching experience, reasoning honestly...
