Thought I'd (re)introduce myself 👋

I'm Hugo, and I've been a digital bricklayer (aka pixel builder) since 2005, at 13. I've come a long way from taking screenshots of stacked images in a Word document to make what I considered designing.

After all these years of being self-taught, my natural talent really lies in not just knowing "the tech" but in creatively using them together in efficient ways.

My curiosity led me to master:

🔍 Operations: Discover hidden inefficiencies in your business and optimize processes you didn’t even know could be improved. (A client worked with me knowing it was the only way for him to get past 7 figures.)

🤖 Automation: Save time and reduce human interaction by connecting tools together. (A client freed up over 40 hours from his weekly calendar.)

💡 AI: Cut down work hours and minimize errors by integrating AI platforms and APIs. (A client automated over 60% of his business operations, the rest was mostly delegated to virtual assistants.)

💻 Web Development: Build efficient and lightweight solutions coded like Pieter Levels. (Check out my MVP agency: https://t.co/igfIzTyn6g)

📊 Google Sheets: Use spreadsheets like you never thought possible with custom functions via Apps Script. (A client manage his entire portfolio of crypto investments and returns.)

📈 Analytics: Get insights into your business performance and know where to focus efforts. (A client got to know with dashboards which sales channel to double down and which steps of the funnel to improve for maximum cost efficiency.)

📢 Marketing: Push the boundaries with underground strategies. (Worked as growth hacker for a major Canadian corporation generating millions.)

✉️ Cold Emailing: Build a robust email infrastructure to scale your outreach. (A client infrastructure was sending up to 2M emails monthly.)

🔧 Tool Selection: Find the perfect tools to meet your business needs. (A called me his "encyclopedia of tools" as I always knew which tools for his needs.)

If you or someone you know is looking to innovate and grow their business, let's connect!

What people going on strike doesn't understand is they are hurting the wrong people

As usual Japan knows best:

Instead of disrupting the service, they make it free to anyone

This is how you hurt the people you negotiate with

Service continues, no one pays, they lose money

@tien__nv Exactly!

You only know how good Google Workspace experience is until you try Microsoft 365 Cloud

People may think llms.txt and .md pages are useless

But... I disagree!

It's extremely helpful to know what pages to scrape to extract full documentation

LLMs.txt as sitemap and .md files as direct export into a single file

Then, import that file in NotebookLM

Thank me later

Weirdest thing when you build something is when people tell you it's not working and doesn't give you feedback

Yet, you use it on a daily basis, works fine

I'd love to fix it and make it work for them, but if they don't help...

You can't fix what you don't know needs fixing

[ֺHugo Hamel @HugoHamelcom]

You know you made it when you have people that simply leave 1 star reviews and give no feedback.

Some people are just here to hate...

Others will help you help them (this is the way!)

[ֺHugo Hamel @HugoHamelcom]

POV: A user cares enough to fill out the feedback form, but not enough to tell you how to fix it nor give you a way to contact them

But, why?
