Meet the Team

The whole team.
All one of us.

Flowstate is a solo operation, for now at least. No departments, no layers, no one to pass the buck to. Just one person who picks up the phone and actually does the work.

The Founder

Zac Elisara

Founder & Everything Else · Based in New Zealand

By day I work as a Systems Administrator and Business Systems Manager for a non profit foster care agency here in NZ. My job there is to look at how things are done, figure out what is slow, broken, or just painful, and quietly replace it with something better.

Flowstate is what happens when I do that same work for other businesses. I noticed a lot of good companies stuck in old workflows simply because nobody has sat down with them and mapped it out. So I started doing exactly that.

I am not a career consultant with a script. I am someone who genuinely enjoys fixing messy systems, and I would rather tell you the honest answer than sell you something you do not need.

your name could go here one day

Turns out the commute between roles is pretty short. You always get me on the call. No handoffs, no losing context, no waiting on a reply from someone I have to chase.

What I Bring to the Table

The stuff I actually do, all day.

Not a brochure list. These are the skills I use in my day job and on every Flowstate project.

🧩

Systems & Process Design

Years of auditing legacy workflows and replacing them with something that actually fits how your team works. I look for the bottlenecks most people stop noticing.

Workflow mapping Process audits SOPs
⚡

Automation & AI

Taking the repetitive admin work off your plate using tools like n8n, Airtable, and AI powered assistants. The boring stuff runs itself and you get your evenings back.

n8n Airtable AI workflows
🔒

Cyber Security Mindset

Every system I build is designed with security in mind from day one. Your data, your client data, and your credentials all stay where they should.

📊

Data & Admin Systems

Messy spreadsheets, disconnected tools, copy paste loops between apps. I rebuild these into a single source of truth your team can actually trust.

Airtable bases Dashboards Reporting
🔁

Legacy to Modern Migrations

Moving businesses off old, brittle systems without losing data or breaking things in the process. I have done this for a non profit and I can do it for you.

🤝

Plain English Translation

One of the most useful skills I have picked up. Turning technical jargon into language your whole team understands, so nobody feels stupid in the meeting.

Documentation Training Plain speak

Credentials

Four Cyber Security certifications.
One very stubborn study habit.

I spent a long stretch studying cyber security after hours, because I wanted every system I build to be secure by default, not as an afterthought.

🛡️

Cyber Security Foundations

Core principles of information security, threat models, and risk. The baseline every builder should know.

🔍

Network & Systems Security

How data moves, where it leaks, and how to lock it down without making your team hate their logins.

🧪

Threat Analysis & Response

Spotting the early signs of an issue before it becomes an incident, and knowing exactly what to do when it does.

📜

Governance & Compliance

Policies, access control, and keeping audit trails that make compliance reviews feel boring in the best way.

Plain English version: when I plug new tools into your business, I know how to do it without leaving a back door open. Automation without security is just a faster way to get into trouble.

Off the Clock

The human behind the laptop.

Because you are not hiring a logo. You are hiring a person. Here is what that person is actually like.

🎣

On the Water

Fishing is my reset button. Most good ideas I have about automations have turned up somewhere between casting out and the first bite.

👥

Family & Mates

Weekends are for the people I actually like. If automating your business gives me more time to be around mine, that is the whole point.

📚

Always Learning

New tool, new cert, new way of doing something. I like tinkering with things long before anyone pays me to, which usually means I already know the tool you are curious about.

🧥

Running a Brand on the Side

I also run a small clothing brand, which means I understand what it feels like to wear every hat in a business. Order admin, stock, marketing, the lot. It keeps me honest about what small businesses actually deal with.

“Nothing changes if nothing changes. That is the reason I started doing this.”

A line I live by. Happy to help you live it too.
