Your n8n workflow works - until it needs a custom API connector, proper error handling, or logic no built-in node covers. That's usually where automation breaks, because most "n8n experts" have never written backend code.
I'm a backend developer with 7+ years building production systems, now focused on automation and API integration. I build workflows that don't just connect apps - they handle edge cases, retries, auth, and the messy parts of real APIs.
What I do:
- n8n workflow design, debugging, custom node/API integration
- REST API integration (auth flows, webhooks, rate limits, error handling)
- Lightweight backend services (Python/FastAPI) to fill gaps no-code tools can't
- Standalone Python scripts, data processing/analysis, and small backend tools - even outside of automation/integration work
-Docker-based deployment for reliable, repeatable automation
I've worked on GCP-based production systems and understand what breaks automations at scale - not just how to wire two apps together.
Also open to smaller, self-contained Python projects - scripts, data cleanup/analysis, quick backend features - with or without any automation platform involved.
If your automation keeps failing on edge cases, or you need something beyond drag-and-drop, let's talk about your workflow.

🎯 I turn repetitive video production into automated pipelines that run without anyone touching them — subtitling, encoding, and template-driven video generation for media companies, broadcasters, and content creators.
⭐ Top Rated · 100% Job Success · 54 projects delivered · 5.0 · 13+ years in broadcast engineering
Using FFmpeg, Python, Node.js, React, Remotion, After Effects scripting, Whisper AI, and n8n, I've built high-throughput FFmpeg pipelines (CPU & GPU — NVENC/CUDA), API-driven After Effects rendering systems, and AI-powered speech-to-text captioning workflows. If it's a repetitive video task, I turn it into a script that scales.
▸ WHAT I AUTOMATE FOR YOU
• After Effects — JSX/ExtendScript, aerender pipelines, template-driven video generation
• AE → Remotion pipelines — convert After Effects templates into server-side React/Remotion renders (props for text, image, video, alpha overlays; multi-language output)
• FFmpeg — encoding, compression, watermarking, format conversion (NVENC/CUDA)
• Video generation APIs — automated rendering pipelines & queue systems (Remotion, Node.js, FastAPI)
• Subtitles & captions — generate, convert, burn-in (SRT, WebVTT) powered by Whisper AI
• n8n workflows — connecting your tools into one hands-off automated flow
• Live production — OBS/vMix consulting, ATEM switching, Blackmagic DeckLink integration
• Playout & ingest — SDI and file-based/IP workflows
• Media asset management — LTO archiving & long-term storage
▸ WHY CLIENTS KEEP HIRING ME
• 13+ years in live broadcast — I've shipped under real deadlines, not just in theory
• Led a team of 13 engineers — I document properly and deliver production-ready systems
• Performance-obsessed: GPU acceleration, parallel processing, efficient encoding
• I speak both "editor" and "engineer" — bridging creative workflows and backend automation

I work on backend systems where things need to work reliably in production.
My focus is on:
AI integrations (RAG pipelines, OpenAI, automation workflows)
backend APIs (Python / FastAPI / Laravel)
payment systems (Stripe, subscriptions, webhooks, transaction flows, Cards, SEPA,...)
system stabilization and production issue fixing
Recently, I’ve been building:
RAG-based systems with hybrid retrieval (Qdrant + OpenSearch)
AI automation workflows and API services
payment integrations with complex billing logic and webhook handling
backend architectures for scalable systems
diffusion-based workflows, LoRA training, and model-serving setups for practical AI use cases
I don’t approach projects as “just coding tasks.”
Most problems I work on involve:
broken flows
unreliable integrations
scaling issues
unclear architecture decisions
If something is not working as expected, I focus on finding the root cause and fixing it properly, not patching symptoms.
Typical things I help with:
fixing Stripe subscriptions, payments, and webhook issues
building or stabilizing AI / RAG backends
debugging production API issues
designing backend architecture for new or existing systems
supporting diffusion pipelines, LoRA training workflows, and related AI infrastructure
Tech stack:
Python, FastAPI, OpenAI, Qdrant, OpenSearch, Laravel, MySQL, Docker, AWS, Hugging Face Diffusers, Transformers..
If you need someone who can quickly understand your system and fix or build it without unnecessary complexity, feel free to reach out.
*** AI Automation & RAG Engineer | OpenAI, FastAPI, Vector DB, Backend Systems ***
I build production-ready backend systems for AI-powered applications.
My focus is on:
- RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)
- OpenAI integrations
- backend APIs with Python and FastAPI
- vector search and hybrid retrieval with Qdrant and OpenSearch
- AI automation workflows
I’ve worked on systems that:
- ingest and structure knowledge from multiple sources
- perform hybrid retrieval using dense and keyword search
- generate grounded responses with LLMs
- support production-level usage, not just demos
I do not build generic chatbots.
I build systems where:
- data is structured properly
- retrieval is reliable
- outputs are grounded and controlled
Typical tasks include:
- building RAG pipelines
- developing AI backend APIs
- integrating OpenAI into existing systems
- improving retrieval quality and response grounding
- designing AI workflows and backend architecture
Tech stack:
Python, FastAPI, OpenAI, Qdrant, OpenSearch, Docker
If you need a real backend for your AI product, not just a prototype, I can help.
*** Stripe & Payment Systems Engineer | Subscriptions, Webhooks, Laravel, APIs ***
I specialize in payment systems and Stripe-based integrations.
I’ve worked on:
- subscriptions and billing flows
- webhook handling and synchronization
- failed payment recovery
- transaction logic and consistency
- card-related flows and backend systems
Most issues I fix are not simple bugs, but problems like:
- duplicate or missing webhook events
- incorrect subscription states
- payment flow inconsistencies
- retry logic issues
- reconciliation problems
I approach these systems from a backend and flow perspective, not just API calls.
Typical tasks I handle:
- Fixing broken Stripe integrations
- Debugging webhook issues
- Implementing subscription systems
- Stabilizing payment flows in production
- Backend logic for billing systems
Tech:
Stripe, Laravel, APIs, MySQL, webhooks, backend systems
If your payments are not behaving as expected, I can help you identify the root cause and fix it properly.
