I spent 15 years in hospitality and front-of-house management before I ever touched a webhook. Running shifts in high-volume restaurants taught me how to think in systems, edge cases, and recovery procedures — which turned out to be exactly what good automation requires.
I started building automations in early 2024 because I needed them for my own work. Lead generation, contract handling, follow-up sequences. The deeper I went, the clearer it became that I liked the building more than the business around it.
So now I'm here, looking for a full-time role where the building is the point.
Every system starts as a diagram, not a node. Trigger, data shape, branches, error states. Building without a map produces spaghetti that nobody can debug six months later.
APIs go down. Webhooks misfire. Data arrives malformed. Every workflow I ship has explicit error branches, retries, and alerts — not silent failures the team finds out about three weeks later.
The fanciest workflow that breaks once a week is worse than the boring one that never breaks. I optimize for systems people can trust without thinking about, not for impressive-looking node graphs.
Workflows should be safe to run twice. I check for existing records before creating, and design data models that survive re-runs without producing duplicate contacts, double-charges, or corrupted reports.
Sticky notes inside n8n, plus an external doc explaining the business logic. The next person to touch the workflow — including future me — should understand it without asking.
I'm looking for a full-time role where I can own workflows, improve systems, and reduce manual work across teams. Title is flexible — the work is what matters.
Best fit: profitable, mid-sized SaaS or post-funding stable. Remote-first. Either an established team I can join, or a growing GoHighLevel agency that needs someone to own automation top to bottom.
