I take the techy stuff off your plate .

I set up the systems behind your business — your forms, emails, sales pages and customer lists — so they quietly do their jobs and you can get back to yours.

Sound familiar?

A few conversations I have a lot

you

Leads come in and then… nothing happens.

I set it up so every new lead gets a reply, lands in your customer list, and pings your team. Automatically, while you sleep.

you

My emails keep landing in spam.

Usually it's a few settings behind your email address. I fix those and check your emails actually reach inboxes.

you

Every new hire takes me a week to set up.

I turn your onboarding into a checklist that runs itself: accounts, welcome emails, the lot.

you

My funnel looks fine, but I can't tell if it works.

I hook up simple tracking so you can see where people drop off, in plain numbers you'll actually read.

you

I'm paying for five apps that don't talk to each other.

I connect them so information moves on its own, and tell you which ones you can cancel.

If you nodded at any of these, we should talk.

What I can do for you

Five ways I take things off your plate

Make your apps talk to each other

When someone fills out your form, everything else happens automatically: the welcome email, the entry in your customer list, the message to your team.

For example: a booking that adds the client to your calendar, your CRM and your invoice app at once.

Build funnels that turn visitors into customers

Landing pages, opt-ins, and follow-up email sequences that keep working for you without you lifting a finger.

For example: a free guide opt-in that leads into a short email series, ending with an invitation to book a call.

Keep your CRM, email and money in order

I tidy up duplicate contacts, keep your sales pipeline, payments and reports telling the same story, and fix the email deliverability settings causing your emails to land in spam.

For example: merging years of messy contacts into one clean list, sorted into stages that match how you actually sell.

Put AI to work on the boring parts

AI agents that don't just chat. They can look up a contact, update your CRM, check the calendar and book the call, then hand over to you when it matters. Always with a human (you) in the loop.

For example: an assistant that replies to new inquiries at 2 a.m., checks the calendar and books them straight in.

Fix and build simple web pages

The page that looks weird on phones. The button that goes nowhere. I fix those, or build a new page from scratch.

For example: a booking page that was unreadable on a phone, rebuilt so it works everywhere in an afternoon.

A few projects, start to finish

your-crm.app

CRM conversation where a new lead gets an instant text and welcome email, then books a discovery call automatically.

A manual spreadsheet of coaching inquiries, most marked no reply with no follow-up assigned.

Project 01 · Coaching business

The leads that never got a reply

A simple fix for leads that were quietly going nowhere.

Before: the messForm leads landed in a spreadsheet nobody checked, so people waited days to hear back, if they heard back at all.
What I didConnected the form to the CRM, added an instant welcome email and text, and a ping to the coach's phone for every new lead.
After: what changedEvery new lead hears back right away, and nothing slips through the cracks anymore.

Project 02 · Real estate

An assistant that never sleeps

Inquiries answered at hours no agent should have to work.

Before: the messProperty inquiries came in at all hours, and by morning half of them had already called another agent.
What I didSet up an AI assistant that replies to new inquiries, asks a few qualifying questions, and books viewings straight into the agent's calendar, handing off to a human when needed.
After: what changedInquiries get answered while the agent sleeps, and the agent starts the day with booked viewings instead of a pile of messages.

Project 03 · Coaching agency

Sales, payments and reports finally agree

Revenue operations, in plain words: one story, told the same way everywhere.

Before: the messThe sales pipeline, the payment records and the monthly report all said different things, and every month-end meant hours of copy-pasting.
What I didCleaned up the pipeline stages, connected payments to the CRM, and set up a report that updates itself.
After: what changedOne place to see what's been sold, paid and still owed, without the month-end scramble.

Project 04 · UGC business

A ping in Discord every time someone pays

No more finding out by accident that a client paid.

Before: the messThe team only found out a client had paid when someone remembered to check, so projects started late.
What I didConnected payments to the team's Discord, so every payment posts a message with the client and package, and kicks off the onboarding steps.
After: what changedThe team knows the moment a client pays, and work starts the same day.

Funnels that walk people to the sign-up button

Pages built around one clear next step, on any screen.

Before: the messVisitors landed on pages that tried to say everything at once, so they left without knowing what to do next.
What I didBuilt event registration funnels and landing pages step by step: the problem, the offer, who's behind it, then one clear button. Each page is set up for desktop, tablet and phone.
After: what changedVisitors move from page to page toward one action, whether that's grabbing a free ticket or booking a call.

After: what changedVisitors find events, updates and services in one place, on any screen.

How we'd work together

Four simple steps

Quick chat

20 minutes, free. You tell me what's driving you mad; I tell you honestly if I can help.

I send a plan

A short written plan in plain English: what I'd fix first, how long it takes, what it costs. No surprises.

We get started

Usually with one small project, so you can see how I work before committing to anything bigger.

I keep things running

Once it's built, I stick around to keep it working, tweak it and fix things before you notice.

Your logins are safe with me

I'll ask you to add me as my own user, so I never need your password. If I do need one, we'll share it through a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden, never by email or text. I only ask for the access a job needs, and when we're done, you remove me in a click.

Ways to work with me

Questions you might have

Fair questions

Where are you based?

I'm in the Philippines. On our first call we'll agree on a few overlap hours that suit you, and the rest happens quietly in the background.

How will we stay in touch?

Whatever's easiest for you: email, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, you name it. You'll get a short update from me every week, and on workdays I usually reply within a few hours.

What does a trial project look like?

One small, clearly defined job with a fixed price. If you like how it went, we keep going. If not, no hard feelings.

What if I don't know what I need?

Totally normal. Tell me what's annoying you and I'll figure out the techy part. That's the job.

Can you build an AI assistant for my business?

Yes. I build AI agents on Claude and connect them to the tools you already use (your CRM, calendar, inbox) through something called MCP. In plain English: the assistant can actually get things done, not just chat. And you decide what it's allowed to touch.

Do I need to understand any of this tech stuff?

Nope. I'll explain what I did in plain English, and leave you a short how-to so you're never stuck.

Let's make your business a little easier to run.

John Patrick Velasco, automation specialist and technical virtual assistant

Hi, I'm Patrick.

I'm John Patrick Velasco, an automation specialist and technical virtual assistant based in the Philippines. I spent years as a full-stack developer in government, and now I help coaches, real estate agents, creators and small teams get their tech working for them. Day to day that means GoHighLevel, n8n, Zapier, HubSpot, and AI agents built on Claude connected through MCP, but you don't need to know any of that. When I'm not building automations, I'm out on my motorcycle or tinkering with a new app idea.
