AI automation and cloud engineer building n8n agent workflows that connect LLM APIs with business tools.

Zambia

Message

As an independent consultant, I design and deploy AI-powered automation systems for small businesses and agencies, including lead routing, reporting pipelines, CRM synchronisation and content workflows. I build agent-based workflows in n8n that integrate LLM APIs with business tools and replace recurring manual processes with monitored, self-hosted automations.

At Chroma Pixel Games, I designed and implemented a data warehouse and built ETL pipelines to bring product and operational data into a queryable model. Earlier, I built AWS cloud solutions at Ericolas Technologies and developed production software at MEIT Solutions. I hold the AWS Certified Developer – Associate certification.
