Looking to get into D2C email marketing automation - any advice?

I’m a software developer and over the past year I’ve been working on AI agents, automation workflows, and chatbots.

I’m really interested in working with D2C/lifecycle marketing agencies that use tools like Shopify and Klaviyo, where I can bring my technical and AI automation skills.

I’m not an email designer or traditional marketer, I’m more interested in building the systems and automations behind the marketing.

For agency owners/people working in this space: what’s the best way to get my foot in the door? Would you recommend reaching out directly, building a Shopify/Klaviyo-focused portfolio first, or looking for freelance/contract opportunities?

Would really appreciate any advice.
