Built by an operator,
not just a developer.

Most automation agencies have built demos. We've run the systems we build — inside real companies, at real scale, where failure isn't an option.

Crestlyr started inside the operations it now sells.

Crestlyr was founded by Levy Lester Delos Santos — an AI automation specialist and Airtable developer who spent 5 years building the operating infrastructure of US companies from the inside: a freight logistics operation, a coaching business, a construction firm, and enterprise teams managing 10,000+ users.

Not as a consultant dropping a deck and leaving — as the person who designed the databases, wired the automations, built the dashboards, led the dev team, and answered for it when something broke at month-end.

That's the difference you feel in a Crestlyr build. We've sat in the operator's seat. We know which automations save real hours and which just look good in a demo — because we've run both.

Crestlyr now has a dedicated team supporting companies across industries — building, planning, and maintaining the systems they run on, long after launch day.

Three things, together, that you won't find apart.

AI-native, not AI-bolted-on

We use Claude and GPT daily, in production. AI is embedded into every system where it earns its keep — drafting, classifying, summarizing, calling — not sprinkled on top for the pitch deck.

Airtable, at expert depth

Not "we've used Airtable" — we build entire company operating systems on it. Multi-table architecture, role-based interfaces, automations, and reporting that whole teams run on daily.

Operator experience

We've led teams, run payroll cycles, and owned month-end. We build for the messy reality of operations — exceptions, edge cases, and the person who'll maintain it after we leave.

Honest by design

What you can expect from us

  • Scope in writing before any build starts — no verbal promises
  • A weekly one-line status update on every active build
  • Replies within one business day — we don't pretend to be 24/7
  • Documentation and a walkthrough video with every delivery
  • If automation isn't the answer for you, we'll say so in the audit

Where we are

Crestlyr is remote-first, based in the Philippines, and works on US, UK, and Australian business hours overlap. That's not a compromise — it's the model: senior-level systems work at 30–50% below Western agency pricing, with builds progressing while your team sleeps.

We're a young agency with deep experience — every system in our portfolio was built and run in production before Crestlyr ever had a name.

Things people ask us

Are you an agency or a freelancer?
An agency in structure, a specialist in feel. You work directly with the person designing your system — no account managers, no handoffs to juniors. As we grow, delivery scales with vetted specialists under the same standards.
How do payments work internationally?
Invoices in your currency (USD, GBP, or AUD), paid by Wise or PayPal. 50% to book your build slot, 50% on delivery. Every project runs on a signed contract and scope of work.
What happens after delivery?
Every build ships with documentation, a walkthrough video, and a 7-day support window. After that, most clients either run it themselves (it's built to be maintainable) or keep us on a monthly retainer for optimization and new automations.
Can you work with the tools we already have?
Almost always, yes — that's usually the right call. We build around your existing stack and recommend changes only when a tool is genuinely the bottleneck. If something has an API or a webhook, we can connect it.
