Engineered an automated n8n workflow that runs daily to fetch, paginate, and process large datasets (500+ records across multiple pages) from external APIs without triggering rate limits (429 errors). The workflow performs date-math comparisons against previous periods, aggregates totals, writes the structured data to Google Sheets, and dispatches a summary report via Gmail.

The industry standard for field service scheduling shows three to four technicians at a time, surrounded by completed appointments that are no longer relevant. Dispatchers spend their day mentally filtering noise just to see what is actually happening.
We designed a view where the full team's day is visible at once. All technicians, all AI-powered routes, who is running late, who has gaps, accessible from one place without opening a single individual profile. The view scrolls dynamically with time so completed appointments drop away and the focus stays on what still matters.
For a team of 150 technicians, the filter lets the dispatcher narrow to a specific group, region, or area in seconds. Tomorrow's schedule is already built before anyone starts work because the AI pre-builds routes based on recurring appointments.
Congrats on the first one! Landing on a workforce solutions angle for schools is a pretty specific niche. Was that the client's ask from the start, or did the positioning come out of your own research?
If you run an agency or a B2B business, you know that finding qualified leads takes hours of manual work every single day. I had this exact problem, so I built an automated system to solve it.
I engineered an intent discovery pipeline using n8n and the DeepSeek API. It runs on a self-hosted VPS, pulls real-time data from platforms like Reddit and GitHub, scores the intent of every post using AI, and pings my phone with only the high-quality leads.
It completely eliminated manual prospecting for my own business.
I’m sharing the open-source repo with anyone who wants to see the code—just shoot me a DM.
But if you want a custom, fully integrated version of this built for your sales team without having to touch a single line of code, this is exactly what I do. I build robust n8n automations and AI agents that save hours of manual operations.
