Hello there

I just Sent A dm , and on my availabilty , Approach and rate

@ShaneSmitas Hi Shane,

This fits my background very well.

I’m a Certified n8n Developer (Level 1 & 2) with hands-on experience building and maintaining production n8n workflows — not demos. I’ve delivered complex automations involving email providers, databases (Postgres, MySQL, Supabase), Slack, WhatsApp (Twilio), REST APIs, OAuth, and self-hosted n8n environments.

I focus heavily on:

  • Workflow reliability (retries, idempotency, failure handling)

  • Debugging and maintaining live systems

  • Clear documentation and ownership of production workflows

  • AI integrations where they actually add value (not gimmicks)

I’m available immediately and happy to share concrete workflow examples, availability, and rate.

Let’s discuss.

Hi there!

I’m currently available and would love to chat about working together.

A bit about me: I have a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Innsbruck and about 1.5 years of professional full-stack experience. Since last autumn, I’ve been working as a Generative AI Developer for a startup—working on exactly these kinds of use cases (chatbots with n8n), mostly for car dealerships.

I’ve built workflows there that serve as whole products for multiple users—for instance, I built a setup that automatically creates personalized voice agents (via Vapi) with company knowledge, just by filling out a form.

I also co-developed a RAG framework at university—our paper is actually getting published at an ACL conference soon. So, I’m confident saying I have solid experience in this space. My main focus with n8n is always on building robust, standardized, and scalable workflows. That is super important to me.

To answer your questions:

Yes, I am a native German speaker.
I have 4 months of professional experience with n8n (specifically Chatbots and Voice Agents). I mostly build custom solutions, but Telegram bots are no problem at all.

Hourly Rate: 50€/h. For that, you get responsible, deliberate, and efficient work from a studied professional with expertise that goes far beyond n8n.

Hi,

I’m Robert, founder of AI Reveo Automation – I build production-grade automation systems for businesses that need workflows to actually work, not just look good in demos.

Relevant Experience:

70+ startups consulted across government acceleration programs – I’ve seen (and fixed) every type of broken workflow imaginable

Active n8n practitioner building real business automation: lead routing, CRM syncs, multi-channel notifications, document generation, and AI-powered data processing

Full-stack integration experience: PostgreSQL, Airtable, Supabase, REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth2, SMTP/Gmail/SendGrid – the exact stack you’re describing

AI/OpenAI integrations – I regularly build workflows combining n8n with GPT models for content automation, data enrichment, and intelligent routing

Self-hosted environments – comfortable with Docker deployments, VPS management, and keeping production instances stable

What I bring beyond technical skills:

I am among the first university lecturers in Poland specializing in AI. This role allows me to bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and practical, production-grade business applications, ensuring the strategies I implement are both future-proof and ethically sound.

I run a web agency (Studio Versa) alongside my automation practice, which means I understand business context, not just code. When I build a workflow, I think about edge cases, error handling, and what happens when things break at 2 AM. Documentation is standard – because I know I’m not the only one who’ll need to understand it later.

Availability: Flexible, can start immediately Rate: Happy to discuss based on scope – I price for value delivered, not hours burned

I’d be glad to walk you through specific workflow examples or discuss your requirements in more detail.

I have extensive experience working with n8n, particularly in automating complex workflows and integrating third-party tools. My expertise includes working with REST APIs, handling HTTP requests, and processing data in JSON format. I’m comfortable building and maintaining production workflows that interact seamlessly with a variety of external systems.

For example, in a recent project, I designed a workflow that automated the lead capture process for a sales team. The workflow connected HubSpot CRM and Google Sheets via n8n. Leads submitted via a form were parsed through the system, verified, and then added to a Google Sheet with real-time updates. I also implemented error handling and debugging processes to ensure the system ran smoothly, with automatic notifications sent to the team if any issues arose. This project was successfully deployed and is still running in production.

Additionally, I have hands-on experience with self-hosted n8n on Docker and cloud platforms (VPS), and have also integrated AI tools such as OpenAI for natural language processing tasks. I’m confident that I can integrate these technologies to meet your needs, ensuring smooth data flow and automation between systems like CRMs, APIs, and AI applications.

I’m available to work 40 hours per week full-time, and my rate is $20 per hour. I’d be happy to discuss your specific needs further and tailor a solution to meet your project requirements.
