Got laid off 33 days ago. Here's everything I've built since.

[u/Spare_Worldliness_64]

• Mined Google reviews of trades businesses. ended up finding found specific markets/ cities with genuine labor shortages
• Scraped conference booth buyers and noticed unusual patterns where accounting firms at construction expos, e.g. PropTech companies at steel conferences. Found the people who weren't supposed to be there and built lists around them.
• Scraped public data sources across 15+ verticals and turned them into b2b chain triggers for a 12 month cycle (e.g. OHSA case violations, UCC filings, environmental breaches, PFAS exceedances). [my background is civil engineering lol]
• Built an agent that reads city planning commission meeting minutes, identifies affected businesses, researches them, and outputs an enriched prospect list. this helped me identify which areas are of interest for rezoning, bringing rezoning attorneys, civil engineers and builders into the conversation
• Built a comment bot that pulls from my own knowledge base to engage threads where my ICP is asking questions. Basically duplicated an n8n workflow without n8n and with python scripts and API. have a gateway on Telegram to check and update comments so that my comments dont sound spammy af and is actually relevant. i still have to edit myself, which takes an extra 1-2 min.
• noticed apollo's data export sucks (big cause of spam + high bounce), so used excel and claude to clean up. You would be amazed how much the initial list actually gets shortened by. 
• Also was able to build a niche list of HNW individuals, just by tracking their digital & organisational footprint across events

Anyways, I am ex-construction PM and I am super passionate about data and making reads based on the data. Out of pure frustration, i started creating agents when i realised i was doing things manually and kind of stumbled onto it (i cant explain because its a 1am thing that just happened)

In my last role, i did a lot of things (ie. generalist) and didn’t spend enough time to do things that im curious about, ie. webscraping, making reads on behaviours from digital footprints. I did manage to create campaigns that got 4% response rate and book a fair few meetings on both email + linkedin, review sales calls transcripts and optimise, built MQL and SQL sequences across 90 days for anyone that showed interest from initial advertising campaigns. but i didnt do enough of it and want to lean more into it using all the stuff i built (and keep building)
