At the intersection of data, AI, and real-world operations — turning complexity into systems that actually run.
I'm Ecalo, a builder at the intersection of data, AI, and real-world operations. I studied Business Analytics and Data Science at George Mason University, spent time as a data scientist inside the federal government at the FDIC, and eventually started UpTopFlow LLC to do the work I actually wanted to be doing full time.
I build agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and custom automations that replace the manual, expensive processes eating teams alive. I've saved clients real hours and real money, and I've shipped products solo from discovery call to deployment. On the other side of that, I've closed high-ticket deals under pressure, managed client relationships, and learned how decision makers actually think.
What drives me is the moment a system goes live and something that used to take hours just runs. I stay deeply plugged into the AI community because this space moves fast and I want to bring what's actually working to the people I work with. I'm someone who figures it out, shows up for the team, and genuinely loves the work.

AI Integration
Custom LLM workflows, prompt engineering, and AI tooling built for production use.
Automation
End-to-end workflow automation that cuts manual work and frees your team to focus.
"The deliverables Ecalo produced became practical operational tools, not just reference documents. For MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs in a critical facility environment, that distinction matters. His documentation reduced the potential for human error in ways that are hard to put a number on but impossible to ignore. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"Ecalo came into our operations and immediately identified where we were losing time and money. He built automations that replaced work we were doing manually every single day. The hours we got back were immediate and the savings were real. For a small business like ours, that kind of impact is hard to overstate."
"We brought Ecalo in to help modernize how we were tracking deals, managing client pipelines, and reporting on performance. What used to take our team hours every week got automated. The business ran cleaner, faster, and we stopped losing deals to follow-up gaps. Genuinely one of the best investments we made."
