Automation Expertise
In today's competitive landscape, automation isn't a luxury—it's a necessity for operational excellence. My journey in automation extends from manufacturing floor improvements at Bloom Energy to enterprise workflow optimization using n8n. At Bloom, I developed Python-based data visualization systems and automated quality assurance processes that reduced exotic material costs "that wipes out a significant portion of the revenue." This practical experience with real financial impact informs my current approach to automation: start with pain points, deliver quick wins, then scale systematically.
Having evaluated Zapier, Node-RED, and n8n for business applications, I've standardized on n8n for its optimal balance of flexibility, control, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike Zapier's task-based pricing that escalates quickly, or Node-RED's developer-centric complexity, n8n provides visual workflow building with enterprise-grade capabilities. My implementation experience spans chatbot development with RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), AI agent creation using LangChain, and complex multi-system integrations that reduce manual intervention while maintaining appropriate security controls and human oversight.

My automation philosophy centers on augmentation rather than replacement—using technology to handle repetitive tasks so teams can focus on creative problem-solving and strategic work. Whether it's project management automation that monitors milestones and sends status updates, or chatbot systems that reduce routine inquiries, the goal remains consistent: increase efficiency while maintaining (or improving) quality and control.
