Overview
n8n is the most powerful open-source workflow automation platform available and I build custom n8n pipelines that connect your apps, automate your processes, and eliminate manual work. From simple two-app integrations to complex AI-powered workflows with conditional logic, webhooks, and database operations, I design automation systems that run reliably in the background so your team can focus on what matters.
Most businesses lose hours every week to work a machine should be doing: copying data between systems, sending the same follow-up emails, generating reports, updating spreadsheets. n8n fixes that without locking you into per-task pricing the way Zapier does. Because n8n can be self-hosted, your data stays on infrastructure you control, and workflows can grow as complex as your business actually needs branching logic, AI steps, custom code nodes, and direct database access.
I do not just build the workflow and leave. Every automation project includes error handling (so failures alert you instead of silently dropping data), documentation of how each workflow operates, and a handover session so your team understands what is running and why. When something in your stack changes a new CRM, a new API version workflows are structured so they can be updated rather than rebuilt.
What's Included
- Custom n8n workflow design and build
- Integration with your existing apps (CRM, email, Slack, databases)
- AI agent nodes with Claude or GPT integration
- Webhook setup and error handling
- Self-hosted n8n setup on your server (optional)
- Workflow documentation and handover
- Testing and monitoring configuration
- Training session for your team
Key Features
End-to-End Process Automation
Connect your CRM, email, spreadsheets, databases, and SaaS tools into a single automated workflow. No more copy-pasting between apps.
AI-Powered Workflows
Embed Claude or GPT directly into your n8n workflows classify incoming emails, generate reports, summarise data, or make intelligent routing decisions automatically.
Real-Time Webhook Triggers
Trigger workflows instantly on form submissions, payment events, database changes, or API callbacks no polling, no delays.
Error Handling & Alerts
Production-grade workflows include retry logic, error branches, and Slack or email alerts so you always know when something needs attention.
Self-Hosted or Cloud
Run n8n on your own server for full data control, or use n8n Cloud. I set up either option with SSL, authentication, and automatic backups.
Scalable Architecture
Workflows built to handle volume queue-based execution, worker nodes, and database-backed storage for high-throughput automation.
How I Work
- 1
Process audit
We map the manual work eating your team's time and identify which processes give the best return when automated usually the boring, repetitive, high-volume ones.
- 2
Workflow design
I design the automation on paper first: triggers, steps, edge cases, and what happens when something fails. You approve the design before any build starts.
- 3
Build & test
Workflows are built in n8n with proper error handling and tested against real-world data, including the messy edge cases that break naive automations.
- 4
Deploy & monitor
Deployment to n8n Cloud or a self-hosted instance on your infrastructure, with failure alerts so problems surface immediately instead of weeks later.
- 5
Handover & training
Documentation plus a walkthrough session so your team can monitor, tweak, and extend the workflows without depending on me for every change.
Ways to Work Together
Fixed-Scope Automation
A defined set of workflows designed, built, tested, and deployed for an agreed quote from a single integration to a multi-step business process.
Best for: Businesses automating a specific, well-understood process.
Automation Retainer
Ongoing monthly capacity to build new workflows, maintain existing ones, and keep integrations working as your tools and APIs evolve.
Best for: Companies steadily automating more of their operations over time.
Workflow Rescue & Consulting
Fixing broken or half-finished n8n workflows, reviewing automation architecture, or advising on self-hosting and scaling.
Best for: Teams already using n8n who need expert help with specific problems.
Real Project Example
LinkedIn content automation from idea to published post, hands-free
I built a two-workflow n8n system that generates LinkedIn posts with AI via OpenRouter, creates matching images, stores drafts in Google Sheets for human review, and publishes approved posts on a schedule. The full build is documented step-by-step on my blog.
- AI post generation with structured outputs, so formatting never breaks
- Human-in-the-loop approval via Google Sheets before anything is published
- Scheduled, hands-free publishing through a community node
- Complete write-up available as a tutorial on the blog
Serving Wollongong & All of Australia
I work with Australian businesses from my base in Wollongong, NSW local Illawarra and Sydney companies can meet in person for the process audit, and businesses anywhere in Australia get the same service remotely. Self-hosted n8n deployments can run on Australian cloud regions, which matters if your data needs to stay onshore for compliance or privacy reasons.
