Luka M.

AI Automation Engineer | Python, LLM Agents, Workflow & Data Pipeline

Trissino, Italy
$35 per hour

$300+ total earnings

I'm an AI Automation Engineer based in Italy, specializing in building systems that monitor data and automate processes on their own — from anomaly detection to LLM-based workflows. What I do: Anomaly detection and data monitoring systems. I build unsupervised pipelines (K-Means, Z-score) that catch operational problems before they become critical. For example: two anomaly detection engines for a 500+ device IoT fleet across Germany and Italy, reaching around 95.7% precision (projects public on GitHub). AI-driven workflow automation. Custom Python scripts, LLM API integration (OpenAI, Anthropic), pipelines that connect data, tools, and models with no manual intervention needed. Data engineering. I turn messy, raw datasets into analysis-ready outputs, with a strong focus on precision and optimization (Python: Pandas, NumPy). Background: I'm completing a Higher Technical Diploma in AI and Data Analytics, with hands-on experience evaluating and training language models (RLHF). That work gave me a deep understanding of how LLMs actually behave, which helps both when building reliable automations and when debugging things that go wrong. Native speaker of Italian and Serbian, professional English. Send me a quick description of your current workflow or problem. I'll come back with a concrete idea of where to start.

I don't just test your software! I protect your software's reputation, performance, and user experience before it reaches real users. I'm a QA Automation Engineer who specializes in building reliable, scalable, and maintainable test automation solutions that protect your software before your users ever see a problem. My mission is simple: make your releases faster, safer, and stress-free. With hands-on expertise in Python, Playwright, Selenium, TypeScript, API Testing, and End-to-End Automation, I design smart testing strategies that don't just detect bugs! They prevent them. From building automation frameworks from scratch to optimizing complex test environments, I ensure your software performs exactly the way it should. WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PROJECT - Robust Web Test Automation (Playwright & Selenium). - API Testing and Integration Validation. - End-to-End Testing for real user workflows. - Scalable Test Framework Architecture. - Regression Testing and Quality Assurance Strategy. - Fast, precise bug detection and root cause analysis. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT? Most testers find bugs. I engineer quality. I don't just execute test cases, I think like an engineer and a product owner at the same time. I focus on preventing defects, not just finding them. MY APPROACH COMBINES - Clean and maintainable automation architecture. - Smart test design that reduces execution time and cost. - Deep understanding of backend logic and system integration. - Real business impact - faster releases, fewer failures, happier users. WHAT YOU GAIN WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER - Faster release cycles with confidence. - Early detection of critical bugs before production. - Fewer production incidents and emergency fixes. - Reduced manual testing effort and long-term costs. - Stable, maintainable, future-proof automation. - Clear communication and full transparency. - A quality-focused partner who cares about your success. WHY CLIENTS TRUST ME - Because I treat your software like my own. - Because I build automation that actually delivers business value. - Because quality is not a task for me - it's a responsibility. If you want a QA Automation Engineer who can strengthen your software, streamline your testing process, and help you ship reliable software at scale- let's talk. Raed.

Anton D.

Shopify Developer & n8n Automation Engineer | Liquid/OS 2.0, Speed

San Leonardo in Passiria, Italy
$20 per hour
4 jobs
$200+ total earnings

I build fast, conversion-focused Shopify stores for D2C brands — and automate the back-office so founders can stop wasting time on manual tasks. I'm not an agency. I'm a solo operator who runs two live Shopify stores (17,000+ orders, 7-figure revenue). Everything I build for clients, I've tested on my own brands first. My sweet spot: You're a small D2C brand that needs a store that actually converts on mobile, custom sections that match your brand (not generic templates), and automations that handle orders, fulfillment, and emails without breaking. What I do • Shopify product & collection page customization (OS 2.0 sections/blocks, JSON templates) • Variant UX & sticky Add-to-Cart, metafield-driven USPs/size guides • Speed & Core Web Vitals: image strategy, lazy loading, CSS/JS trim • n8n automations: Shopify webhooks → Supabase/Postgres → Cloudinary → POD (Gelato) → email/Slack/Telegram • API integrations, webhooks, error handling/retries, observability Proof, not promises • alpsland.shop — alpine apparel brand, 17,000+ orders, 7-figure revenue, bespoke sections & polished collection grid • portreo.shop — custom product template with personalization flow & sticky ATC • Both stores: sub-2s load times, 90+ mobile PageSpeed scores How I work 1. Quick audit & goals → action plan (free, before you commit) 2. Build modular sections/flows you can edit in Theme Editor 3. Cross-device QA + concise handover (notes or short Loom) If you want a store that looks great, loads fast, and doesn't break on Monday morning — let's talk.
