AI Systems Engineer & Developer
I'm Nethaneel Tayone, a freelance AI Systems Engineer & Developer. I design, build, and maintain custom AI voice systems, marketing automations, and purpose-built bots - wired into the tools you already run, and re-optimized every month so cost and performance stay predictable.
Capabilities
Inbound/outbound agents for intake, follow-up, and collections calls.
Outreach, lead-nurture, and content workflows wired into your existing stack.
A single purpose-built tool, or a full connected suite, scoped to one specific need.
Case Study
Currently RunningAI voice agent that answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies the caller, and books a consultation directly on the calendar.
Outbound voice & text engine behind two apps: batch calling and batch texting, so the firm can reach its full client list in a single pass.
Automated invoice collection that emails clients with a balance due, running daily until it's paid, then stopping on its own.
Across all three systems, the firm is now saving thousands of dollars compared to what they were paying for human receptionists to handle the same calls, follow-up, and collections work - and the AI agents run 24/7, with no sick days, no turnover, and no raises to negotiate.
A connected suite of 28 AI tools, built on Pickaxe, covering social posts, sales pages, ad scripts, 12+ email sequence types, and lead-magnet copy - engineered around the brand's own voice, so the output reads like their team wrote it.
Who's Behind This
I'm Nethaneel Tayone, an independent AI Systems Engineer & Developer.
I spent five years in a call center in the Philippines, moving through customer service, tech support, sales, and health account roles. Five years of nonstop calls took its toll, and working for a company that treated me as replaceable pushed me to make myself the opposite. I resigned, and in 2023 I joined VA Staffer, working directly under Jeff J. Hunter - owner of VA Staffer, AI Persona Method, and Savage Marketer. He became my mentor and taught me most of what I know today.
In 2025, I went independent. My first client as a contractor was a law firm in the United States, where I built two AI voice agents running 24/7, along with three custom apps working alongside them to handle follow-up and collections.
I work directly with each client. No account managers, no handoff to a junior team partway through - the person who designs the system is the one who maintains it.
