AI Automation Expert and Implementation Lead

Trillium Information Security Systems • Full time

Mar 2026 - Present • 7 mos

At Trillium, I lead the design and implementation of AI automation systems for internal teams and client projects. My role covers the full cycle from identifying manual processes to building, testing, and deploying the automation that replaces them. What I work on: AI agent development. I build agents that read business data, make decisions, and trigger actions across internal tools. These are not chatbots. They handle lead qualification, ticket routing, data enrichment, and report generation. Workflow automation with n8n. I design n8n workflows that connect CRMs, email systems, databases, and internal APIs. The goal is always the same: remove manual steps and let the process run on its own. Custom integrations. When existing tools do not cover a requirement, I build the missing piece. This includes custom n8n nodes, API connectors, and Python scripts for data processing. Self-hosted infrastructure. I set up and maintain self-hosted automation environments so client data stays under their control. This includes deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting. MCP server development. I connect LLMs to internal tools through MCP servers, giving agents safe and structured access to business systems. Key achievement so far: I designed, built, and published a custom n8n node for Jev AI, a decision engine by TypeSafe AI. The node is live on npm and supports classification, scoring, and yes/no decisions with confidence values. I also built and published an n8n workflow template on the official n8n creators platform. The template monitors NASA space weather and Deep Space Network anomalies and sends alerts through Telegram. Skills used: n8n, LangChain, OpenAI API, Claude API, Python, TypeScript, REST APIs, MCP, Docker, self-hosted deployment and much more.

AI Automation Engineer

LinkedIn • Freelance

Aug 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 2 mos

Alongside my full-time role, I take on freelance projects for clients who need AI automation, custom workflows, or self-hosted infrastructure. I handle the full project: understanding the process, choosing the right platform, building it, testing it, and handing it over with documentation. What I offer as a freelancer: n8n, Make, and Zapier workflows. I build and migrate automation across all three platforms. If you are stuck with Zapier's per-task pricing and want to move to a self-hosted setup, I handle the migration. If you are starting fresh, I build the workflow that fits your budget and scale. Custom AI agents. I build agents that connect to CRMs, email, databases, and internal tools. They read data, make decisions, and trigger actions. Not just text generation. RAG chatbots. I build chatbots that answer from your own documents, PDFs, and website content. Accurate answers with source references, no hallucination. Cloud setup and self-hosting. I set up n8n and other automation tools on Oracle Cloud and AWS. This is for clients who want full control over their data and want to stop paying per-task fees. Custom code when no-code hits its limit. Python for data pipelines and automation. TypeScript for custom nodes and API integrations. Why clients work with me: I tell them straight whether automation is the right answer for their case. If a simple fix is enough, I say so. If they need something bigger, I explain what it will take. Portfolio highlights: Published n8n workflow template on the official n8n creators platform (NASA space weather monitor). Published npm package n8n-nodes-jev, a custom n8n node for Jev AI decision engine by TypeSafe AI.
