Automation & data engineering
Sound familiar?
These are the situations viabolat gets hired to fix.
The consultant disappeared
You paid someone to build a Zapier/Make workflow. It worked for a month. Now it's broken and they won't answer.
It never worked right
The automation runs but the data is wrong, duplicated, or missing. You've been manually cleaning it up for months.
Your team is still doing it manually
You have workflows that should be automated but nobody has fixed the original broken attempt. So your team just... keeps doing it by hand.
What viabolat fixes
Concrete, real-world breakages — not vague "digital transformation."
Zapier & Make failures
Multi-step Zaps and Make scenarios that silently stopped firing, error out, or skip steps.
Broken webhooks & APIs
Webhooks that no longer deliver, expired tokens, and integrations that 401 or time out.
API & schema drift
A vendor changed a field or endpoint and your automation has been quietly mapping the wrong data.
Duplicate & missing records
Dedup logic that never worked, records dropped on the floor, or rows written twice.
Cron & Python scripts
Scheduled scripts that fail at 2am, crash on a bad input, or never got proper error handling.
Data extraction & cleanup
PDFs, spreadsheets, and exports that need reliable extraction, validation, and de-duplication.
How it works
Simple. No jargon. No surprises.
You describe the problem
Fill out the form or send an email. Tell viabolat what's broken, what it should do, and how urgent it is.
No technical write-up required — a screenshot and a sentence is enough to start.
Diagnosis and quote
viabolat reviews your setup, identifies the root cause, and sends a fixed-price quote within 24 hours. No hourly surprises.
You see the real cause and the exact price before any work begins.
Fixed. Documented. Maintained.
You get a working system, full documentation, and an optional monthly plan that monitors it and responds fast if it does break.
Every fix ships with full documentation and a plain-English handoff.

~40%
less manual rework · in-house role, 2016–2022
The situation A production team lost hours on every job to manual tracking, file validation, and reporting.
What I built As the in-house automation engineer at Karma Graphics, I added Python quality checks and automation to the production pipeline.
The outcome Roughly 40% less rework by my estimate, and the system ran in production for six years.

two projects · same repeat client · Upwork, Oct 2025
The work Custom indicator and scanner logic: a combined signal (Force Index plus 90-day volume peak) and filter code for a stock scanner.
The outcome Delivered and accepted on both projects, rated 5.0 by the client both times.

The idea An error-triage service that receives automation failure reports and sorts them into causes.
What it covers Not found, missing fields, expired authentication, rate limits, wrong data types, duplicates, and unrecognized errors, tested with ten simulated cases.
Status Prototype, tested locally.

Frequently asked questions
The things people ask before they get in touch.
Most fixes turn around in 48–72 hours once scope is agreed. Larger rebuilds are delivered in 7–10 days. You'll always get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours of describing the problem.
Yes. You approve a fixed price before any work starts — no hourly meters, no surprise invoices. If the scope genuinely changes, viabolat agrees a new fixed price before continuing.
Every fix is fully documented, so anything that regresses is quick to trace. For ongoing peace of mind, the Fix & Maintain plan adds monthly health checks and priority response so problems get caught before they cost you.
Both. Most clients come with something broken, but if the original attempt is beyond repair viabolat will rebuild it properly — documented and maintainable from day one.
Zapier, Make, webhooks, REST APIs, and custom Python scripts — plus the data plumbing behind them (spreadsheets, databases, file pipelines). If it moves data between systems, it's in scope.
A review of up to 3 critical workflows on one platform, up to 5 hours of work. You get a written report on failure points and plan-limit headroom, alerts on failing steps, a one-page runbook, and a freeze-or-leave-running recommendation for each workflow. It's delivered within 5 business days of access, and no later than Nov 13. Fixes and rebuilds are quoted separately at a fixed price, and the $500 is credited toward any fix you then hire viabolat for.
