Services

Practical Odoo, automation, and database services.

I help businesses secure self-hosted Odoo, automate operational workflows, connect APIs, clean data, and build practical AI/database systems — without ignoring production risk.

How I approach the work

Most operational problems are not only technical. Sometimes the real issue is exposed infrastructure, missing backups, messy business data, unclear scope, or an automation that writes to the wrong place. I try to clarify the system first, then choose the safest useful next step.

Security before public exposure

Check what a server actually exposes before connecting a domain or opening it to users.

Backups before risky changes

Make sure there is a restore path before touching a production system.

Clean, usable business data

Find duplicates, missing values, incoherent records, and inconsistent data structures so reporting, migration, automation, and AI workflows can rely on cleaner information.

Validation before syncing systems

Confirm what gets written where, so integrations do not corrupt data between tools.

Consulting before building

Clarify the real problem, compare possible tools and approaches, and define a practical scope before investing in development.

Maintainable over clever

Prefer simple workflows someone can understand later over fragile, impressive demos.

What I can help with

Odoo VPS Security Review

Review whether a self-hosted Odoo server exposes risky ports, PostgreSQL, Docker bindings, database manager routes, or a weak SSH setup — and what to fix first.

Typically includes

  • Public port and Docker binding review
  • PostgreSQL exposure check
  • Odoo 8069 / 8072 exposure check
  • SSH and login review
  • Database manager route review
  • Practical, prioritized hardening recommendations

Odoo HTTPS / Subdomain Deployment

Expose Odoo safely through a clean HTTPS subdomain, keeping Odoo and PostgreSQL private behind a reverse proxy instead of on a public port.

Typically includes

  • DNS and subdomain setup
  • Nginx reverse proxy configuration
  • HTTPS via Certbot
  • Websocket / longpolling routing
  • proxy_mode and header guidance
  • Final public exposure checks

Odoo Backup & Restore Setup

Design or improve an Odoo backup that includes more than the database — and prove it works with a real restore test instead of assuming it does.

Typically includes

  • PostgreSQL database dump
  • Filestore backup
  • Custom addons and config backup
  • Off-server copy workflow
  • Backup manifest and checklist
  • Restore test plan on a sandbox

Automation, API & AI Integration

Connect Odoo with CRMs, spreadsheets, forms, email, scraping tools, databases, external APIs, and AI services — built to handle messy real-world input, not just clean samples.

Typically includes

  • API connection design
  • Workflow automation (Make.com, n8n, custom)
  • AI-assisted workflow design
  • OpenAI / LLM integration when useful
  • Data transformation and mapping
  • Error handling and retries
  • Simple monitoring and alerting

Data Cleanup, Reporting & Dashboards

Find duplicates, inconsistent records, missing values, and unreliable business data so teams can trust their reports, migrations, automations, and AI workflows.

Typically includes

  • SQL queries (PostgreSQL / MySQL)
  • Duplicate and inconsistency detection
  • Data validation rules
  • Reporting and business metrics
  • Retool dashboards
  • Documented, repeatable checks

AI / Database Workflow Consulting

Explore practical AI assistants connected to Odoo, SQL databases, or business data — kept realistic, with safe data access and validated output rather than hype.

Typically includes

  • Database question-answering workflow design
  • Safe data access patterns
  • Schema and mapping analysis
  • Prompt and output validation
  • Practical MVP scoping
  • Honest assessment of what AI should and should not do

Odoo Implementation & Technical Consulting

Help plan, configure, and connect Odoo carefully, especially when the project involves self-hosting, integrations, data structure, automation, or technical decisions.

Typically includes

  • Implementation scope clarification
  • Module and workflow planning
  • Technical architecture advice
  • Hosting and environment guidance
  • Integration and automation planning
  • Step-by-step implementation support

How I work

  • 1.Understand the current system, business process, and tools before changing anything.
  • 2.Clarify the real problem and decide whether the answer is automation, cleanup, integration, reporting, or process design.
  • 3.Identify risks and constraints specific to your setup.
  • 4.Start with a small, useful scope rather than a big rewrite.
  • 5.Build and test in a safe environment before touching production when needed.
  • 6.Document what changed, so you are not dependent on me to maintain it.
  • 7.Avoid fragile automation when a simpler approach will last longer.

Good fit

  • Self-hosted Odoo users who want safer deployment, backups, or integrations
  • Small businesses with too many manual, repetitive workflows
  • Teams with messy operational data that blocks reporting or automation
  • Agencies needing technical overflow support
  • Businesses wanting API, AI, or data automation that does not break quietly
  • Companies that need help choosing a practical technical solution before building

Not an ideal fit

  • ×Risky production changes with no backup or rollback path
  • ×Projects with no access to the systems involved
  • ×Projects that require unsafe access, stolen data, or actions that could harm third-party systems
  • ×Vague AI projects with no real business workflow or data source

Technical guides

These guides show the kind of practical, production-aware work I care about. They are the same checks and decisions I apply on real deployments — read them yourself, or have me handle the work.

Have an Odoo, automation, or database problem?

Send a short message with what you are trying to build, fix, secure, or automate. If it is an Odoo VPS or security question, you can also send sanitized command output such as ss -tulpn, docker ps, or your Nginx/Odoo config with secrets removed.
