Currently building AI Workflows

I build systems that work while you sleep.

I build AI systems that handle the boring stuff — from LLM-powered automation and n8n workflows to custom API integrations that actually scale. Security-first mindset, clean code or no-code, and systems that run themselves so you don't have to think about them.

The operator behind the automation

I got into automation because I'd rather spend energy on interesting problems than repeat the same task twice. These days I split my time between building AI workflows for freelance clients, studying CS at FAST, and tinkering with my homelab server.

I think automation is at its best when you don't notice it working. Whether I'm setting up an n8n pipeline or locking down a server, the goal is the same — make it reliable, make it scale, and make sure I don't get a call at 2 AM. That quiet dependability is what I chase.

I trained with Deloitte's Cyber team and Google's Cybersecurity Cert, so security thinking is baked into everything I do — least-privilege access, audit trails, secure configs. Not because anyone asked, but because I'd rather build things that don't break in the first place.
