About
A specialist with the receipts — not a generalist agency.
Notionalize is the dedicated systems and IT partner for teams ready to scale — Official Notion Ambassador, Certified Relay.app Partner, 10,000+ hours building operations, and a 4.2 Trustpilot rating from the founders who've trusted us with theirs.
Why Notionalize
We don't just recommend tools. We build the systems that make them work together.
From Notion to Make to custom AI, we architect, build, and maintain the infrastructure your team actually uses.
Use-case driven
We diagnose your operations first, then implement the right solution. We never start from a tool we want to sell.
Cross-system expertise
We've implemented across dozens of organizations and platforms. We know what works, what breaks, and how to connect it all.
Chaos to clarity
Scattered tools, broken handoffs, confused teams — we turn operational chaos into systems your team actually follows.
Built to scale
Our systems handle today's workload and tomorrow's growth without falling apart. We architect for where you're going.

Julius Alba
Founder & Lead Operations Architect
Official Notion Ambassador · Certified Relay.app Partner
Connect on LinkedInJulius Alba is the founder of Notionalize and the creator of ClientFacingPortals, a SaaS built on the official Notion API. As an Official Notion Ambassador and Certified Relay.app Partner, he designs, builds, and runs the operations systems that growing agencies, founders, and teams actually rely on.
Across 10,000+ hands-on hours he's built 100+ systems and deployed 50+ automations — turning scattered tools into one source of truth, then layering workflow automation and custom AI on top. For most clients that's 20+ hours a week back, in a system their team follows without being told to.
He works tool-last: diagnose the operation, design the source of truth, then automate — because the fix is almost never another app. He writes about that approach — APIs vs MCP, when to automate versus hand a task to an AI agent, and the automation stack that actually lasts.
What I'm deep in
- Notion OS architecture & relational design
- Notion API & client-portal SaaS (ClientFacingPortals)
- Workflow automation — Relay.app, Make, Zapier, n8n
- Custom AI & MCP integrations for operations
Teaching & coaching
I don't just build systems — I coach teams to run them.
Years inside mastermind agencies as a partner systems coach — at AgencyU, and in the Harp Media Method mastermind — teaching founders to scale with Notion, automation, and AI. A few sessions below.
