AI automation engineer building end-to-end, self-hosted agentic LLM systems with human-in-the-loop and strict cost-control.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI automation engineer who designs, builds, and runs production LLM systems end to end—from client interview and architecture to a deployed, self-hosted pipeline kept in operation.
My core strength is multi-step agentic workflows with human-in-the-loop control, managed token cost, and strict input/output contracts. I think in terms of separation of concerns across agents, pipeline testability, and explicit cost-of-error at each step.
I run and maintain my own self-hosted stack (DigitalOcean, Docker, n8n, PostgreSQL, NocoDB) with custom domain, SSL, and reverse proxy. I’ve shipped multiple business systems, built internal tools, and supported iterative production improvements based on feedback loops.
I’m fully self-taught through real client projects: I shipped my first production n8n system in one month and then moved into multi-agent architectures, MCP tooling, embeddings, and low-code orchestration. I also mentor others by curating an ongoing group and running an in-person AI-agents workshop.

AI Automation Engineer
NeuroSolutions
May 2025 - Present (1 year 2 months)
Builds and operates production LLM automation systems end to end on a self-hosted stack, from client interviews and architecture through deployment and ongoing support. Leads agentic, multi-step pipelines with human-in-the-loop controls and strict input/output contracts to manage token cost and reliability.
Telegram bot + AI room visualization
Interior Design
Built a Telegram-based intake bot that performs multi-stage human-in-the-loop processing (voice/text preferences, style detection, confirmations, and iterative reformulation) and generates room visualizations. Used Supabase for centralized storage of user data and session artifacts, with Whisper and OpenAI image generation in the pipeline.
Inbound document parsing module
Car-Sourcing Firm
Developed an inbound request and document parsing module that classifies requests, performs structured data extraction, and returns JSON output as a contract to a client system. Used PostgreSQL-backed issue tracking to capture classification errors for prompt refinement and testability.
On-site photo-report analysis
Interior Design
Implemented an on-site photo-report analysis pipeline where crews submit voice notes and photos, and managers receive automatic reports and escalations for critical findings. Routed mixed content types in a single workflow and formatted outputs for downstream task tracking.
Procurement forecasting & stock
Nonprofit
Built a procurement forecasting and stock control workflow that recognizes staff voice notes, records stock updates in PostgreSQL, and flags early shortage-risk signals. Prototyped supplier sourcing using Firecrawl and ScrapeGraph AI and exposed results through Notion.
Business-meeting analysis
Nonprofit
Created a recording-based meeting analysis pipeline that pulls files from Google Drive, runs async AssemblyAI diarization, and sends results via webhook with speaker mapping, summaries, and negotiation assessment. Implemented a low-cost speaker mapping approach with reroll and manual labeling to reduce ID-error cost.
Scoping & pricing assistant
DCP-Industry Company
Created a scoping and pricing assistant for Digital Cinema Package services by capturing requirements through a structured, recorded, diarized interview and encoding business logic to remain editable without code rewrites. Implemented flexible agent memory keyed per request and a human-in-the-loop issue tracker to improve prompt quality.
Automated car video-review system
Car-Sourcing Firm
Built a multi-step, n8n-based agentic pipeline to collect YouTube review sources, extract transcripts, summarize stepwise, and produce a final reviewed output with human-in-the-loop source selection. Added AI sales voiceover and reduced review preparation time significantly for car processing workflows.
