Solutions engineer blending customer-facing sales with integration automation to deliver reliable production workflows and AI-powered systems.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a solutions engineer who pairs hands-on integration and automation engineering with 12 years of customer-facing sales. I scope the business problem with non-technical stakeholders, design the integration, stand up a working demo, and own it in production.
On a self-hosted stack (n8n, Python, Docker, Linux VPS), I’ve built and operated production workflow systems, processing over 20,000 executions across 55 workflows. I’ve integrated LLM and third-party APIs into live systems, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and DeepSeek.
I take operational reliability seriously—credential rotation, retry logic, duplicate suppression, scheduling/timezone correctness, and API spend control. I’m also proud of 97 days continuous uptime on a self-managed Linux VPS running n8n, Docker, Redis, and a Cloudflare tunnel, backed by NCA accreditation and a track record of consistent over-target performance.
