Responsible for building and maintaining scalable automation pipelines using n8n, focusing on translating real business processes into production-ready workflow
Overview
Workflow automation platform designed to help teams build, manage, and scale automated processes across tools, APIs, and AI services. The platform focuses on reducing manual work by enabling event-driven, logic-based automations that can be customized for different business needs.
Core Features
š Workflow Automation
Multi-step workflows triggered by events, schedules, or API calls.
Conditional logic, branching, and error handling.
Support for complex data transformations between steps.
š Integrations
Connections to external APIs and SaaS tools.
Webhooks for real-time inbound and outbound automation.
Modular design to add or update integrations without breaking existing flows.
š¤ AI-Enhanced Processing
AI-powered steps embedded into workflows (e.g. enrichment, classification, decision logic).
Ability to chain AI outputs into downstream automation steps.
š Reliability & Observability
Execution tracking and logging per workflow.
Failure detection and retry strategies.
Designed for production-grade usage, not just prototypes.
Technical Implementation
š§ Automation Engine
Built primarily using n8n as the workflow orchestration engine.
Leveraged n8nās node-based architecture for scalable and reusable automation logic.
āļø Workflow Design
Custom workflows combining:
Webhook triggers
HTTP/API nodes
Data mapping and transformation
Conditional branching
Error-handling paths
š System Integration
Secure handling of credentials and environment variables.
API authentication patterns (tokens, headers, secrets).
Webhook validation and payload normalization.
š Deployment & Scalability
Designed workflows to be modular and maintainable.
Structured automations to support growth in volume and complexity.
Minimized tight coupling between steps to reduce failure propagation.
What I Did
Designed and implemented production workflows using n8n as the primary automation engine.
Built multi-step automations integrating third-party APIs, webhooks, and internal services.
Implemented conditional logic, branching, retries, and error-handling strategies.
Normalized and transformed data between workflow steps to ensure reliability.
Optimized workflows for maintainability, performance, and scalability.
Collaborated with product and engineering stakeholders to translate business logic into automation logic.
