Akolawole Aderonke
@akolawoleaderonke
Automation Engineer specializing in end-to-end AI workflow automation that ships production-ready systems quickly.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Automation Engineer with 1+ year of hands-on experience designing and shipping end-to-end workflow automation systems. I’ve been trusted to build and deliver real, production-ready automation with minimal oversight.
I engineered a full AI-powered recruitment automation platform for an established recruitment firm, delivered as the sole engineer and kept fully live and production-ready at delivery. My system handled candidate intake, resume analysis via the OpenAI API, match scoring, and automated interview scheduling.
In my work, I focus on reliability and speed: I built robust pipelines integrating OpenAI, n8n, Zapier, Airtable, Firebase, and third-party APIs. I processed 700+ candidates end-to-end with zero manual intervention, reducing recruiter workload from hours of daily review to a routine system check and completing the journey in under 3 minutes.
Alongside that, I built automation for outreach and client operations—deduplicating and enriching lead data, verifying emails with NeverBounce, running personalized cold email sequences with Instantly.ai, and using AI to summarize emails, extract task data, and draft contextual replies. I’m driven by measurable impact: fewer manual steps, improved process reliability, and on-time delivery.
