Abhishek Nair - Profile

About Me

Engineering generalist with 8+ years building end-to-end systems from concept to production. Led cross-functional teams, co-founded startups, and delivered solutions spanning robotics, AI/ML, automation, and full-stack development. Proven track record in technical leadership, production deployment, and bridging business needs with engineering excellence.

What I Offer

I help businesses in Germany and across the EU automate their workflows using no-code/low-code platforms (n8n, Make, Zapier) combined with custom integrations and production-grade solutions. My approach ensures your team receives complete documentation and handover, so you remain independent and can scale without ongoing dependency on external consultants.

What I Bring to Your Business

With 8+ years of hands-on experience building end-to-end systems from concept to production, I bring a unique combination of technical depth and business acumen. My diverse background spans hardware design, software development, AI/ML systems, and startup leadership—giving me the ability to see the full picture and bridge gaps that pure no-code solutions can't address.

Technical Depth When You Need It

While no-code/low-code platforms handle 80% of automation needs beautifully, sometimes you need custom logic, complex integrations, or performance optimization. I can build Python scripts, FastAPI endpoints, Docker containers, and custom webhooks to extend your automation stack beyond platform limitations.

Production-Grade Reliability

I don't just set up workflows—I ensure they're production-ready with proper error handling, logging, monitoring, retry logic, and governance. Every solution includes documentation, runbooks, and training so your team can maintain and extend it independently.

Business-First Thinking

Having co-founded startups and led technical teams, I understand the balance between speed, cost, and quality. I prioritize solutions that deliver measurable ROI and align with your business goals, not just technical perfection.

Diverse Experience, Holistic Solutions

My background in robotics, AI/ML, hardware, and full-stack development means I can identify opportunities others might miss. Whether it's integrating IoT sensors, building custom APIs, or connecting legacy systems—I've done it all and can bring that expertise to your automation projects.

Beyond No-Code: Custom Solutions When You Need Them

No-code/low-code platforms are powerful, but they have limitations. When you need custom logic, complex data transformations, or integrations that platforms don't support, I can build the missing pieces.

Custom API Endpoints

Build FastAPI endpoints for complex business logic, data validation, or integrations that don't have native connectors.

Python Automation Scripts

Create custom scripts for data processing, file manipulation, or workflows that require advanced logic beyond platform capabilities.

Docker Containers & Microservices

Deploy containerized services that extend your automation stack, handle high-volume processing, or integrate with legacy systems.

Custom Webhooks & Integrations

Build webhook receivers, custom connectors, or bridge systems that don't have native integration support.

Performance Optimization

Optimize slow workflows, reduce API costs, implement caching strategies, and improve reliability beyond platform defaults.
