John Zapanta // Portfolio
I build the systems that do the work.
I design and ship production systems that automate real business operations — AI agents, data pipelines, and internal tools that run unattended and replace hours of manual work every day.

// What I build
Systems across the stack
Six areas where I turn manual, error-prone work into something dependable that runs on its own.
AI Agents & LLM Apps
Assistants and agents built on large language models that read context, make calls, and take action across the tools a team already uses.
Workflow Automation
Event-driven workflows that classify, route, draft, and notify — replacing repetitive manual steps with systems that run unattended.
Scraping & Data Pipelines
Resilient extractors and pipelines that pull from JS-heavy pages and APIs, then clean, reconcile, and export data on a schedule.
Market & Real Estate Analytics
Pipelines and dashboards that aggregate property, listing, and market data into reports a team can actually act on.
CRM & Sales Tooling
Lead scoring, pipeline monitoring, and follow-up automation wired directly into the CRM to keep deals moving without manual chasing.
Internal Dashboards & Tools
Full-stack internal apps — auth, data, and a clean UI — that give operators one place to run the day-to-day.

How I work
I'm a systems builder focused on AI-powered automation and data intelligence. Most of my work lives in the gap between a messy operational problem and a clean, dependable system that solves it — assistants that draft and decide, pipelines that pull and reconcile data, and dashboards that surface the one thing a team actually needs to act on.
