Automation Systems Architect
Software Engineer | Low-Code Automation | Make.com | Adobe Fusion

I design and implement structured automation systems for SMEs, freelancers, and growing teams.

Low-code tools like Make.com make it easy to build workflows. What’s less obvious is how to manage them safely as they grow.

My work focuses on:

• Designing maintainable automation architecture
• Introducing version control and change visibility
• Setting up sensible dev / test / production workflows
• Refactoring fragile or overly complex automation
• Applying engineering discipline without over-engineering

I first began using low-code automation while running my own e-commerce business. During Covid restrictions, automation became the only way to scale operations without hiring additional staff.

After successfully exiting the business, I moved into backend engineering roles within regulated banking environments, working with Java, Python, and enterprise integration systems.

Today, my perspective sits between SME pragmatism and enterprise discipline.

On my blog, I explore topics including:

• How to version control Make.com automations
• Managing change safely in low-code workflows
• Dev / test / production environments for visual systems
• Scaling automation in small teams
• Introducing governance without slowing teams down
