AI Automation Engineer

Building Intelligent Systems. Automating What’s Next.

I build intelligent AI agents, automated workflows, and software solutions that connect AI with real-world business processes. From n8n automation and API integrations to computer vision research, I turn complex problems into practical, scalable systems.

About me

About Me

I’m an AI Automation Engineer and Software Engineer with a background in AI research. I design AI agents and workflow automations that connect tools such as Gmail, Airtable, Slack and OpenAI to real business processes.

On the research side, I built a machine vision system that improved piston rod measurement precision from approximately 20 μm to 3 μm. My experience spans software development, AI research and automation engineering.

👁️

Computer Vision Solutions

Developing image-processing and machine-vision systems for real-world engineering problems.

n8n Automation

Featured Automation Projects

Building AI-powered automation pipelines using n8n — connecting AI agents with real-world tools and data.

n8n workflow: FAQ AI Agent

AI-Powered FAQ Agent

Answers repeated customer questions automatically. A webhook passes each question to an OpenAI GPT-4 agent that searches an Airtable knowledge base, remembers the conversation and replies.

n8n workflow: Feedback Classification Agent

AI Feedback Classification Agent

Sorts incoming feedback automatically. Google Gemini classifies each form submission as a complaint, compliment or feature request, then it is saved to Airtable and routed to Slack or email.

n8n workflow: Smart Email Reply Agent

Smart Email AI Agent

Handles routine email without manual effort. On a schedule, an OpenAI agent reads new Gmail messages, drafts a reply, logs it in Airtable and marks the message as read.

n8n workflow: Automated Marketing Email Dispatcher

Automated Marketing Email Dispatcher

Sends tailored marketing emails to a whole list. A form submission pulls recipients from Airtable, loops over each one and sends the email with or without an image attachment.
