Client snapshot
What this looks like in practice
Partnered with a Lot Fourteen defence-supply-chain startup. Inbound capability statements and tender documents flow into n8n, Claude extracts requirements, maps them against the firm's past projects and drafts tailored proposal sections with evidence pre-linked. Time from tender receipt to a usable draft halved, letting them bid on more opportunities without burning out their technical writer.
Who builds it: Waseem Nasir — AI automation engineer, digital nomad from Pakistan, based in Bali/ASEAN, serving global clients.
Frequently asked questions for clients
Is AI appropriate for Adelaide defence and space supply chain firms?
Yes, with proper boundaries. I design workflows that never send controlled or sensitive data to third-party LLMs, keep n8n self-hosted inside your environment, and document the data flow in a way a prime's security team can sign off on. The value is in the proposal and admin pipeline, not the engineering itself.
Do you work with McLaren Vale wine and SA agribusiness?
Yes. Export paperwork, retailer reporting, traceability records, DTC customer comms and cellar-door reservations are all strong fits for n8n + Claude. You keep your existing stack; I remove the admin load that used to eat your weekends at vintage.
Can an Adelaide SME realistically run its own AI workflows after handoff?
Yes. I deliver with a one-page runbook, a short Loom library per workflow, and a visual n8n structure designed to be readable by non-engineers. After handoff most Adelaide SMEs maintain the system themselves and only bring me back to build the next one.
How do you price work for a smaller SA budget?
Fixed scope per project, chosen specifically for payback inside a quarter. I would rather ship a smaller, well-scoped build for an Adelaide SME than propose a large programme that sits in the too-hard basket. Start narrow; expand when the numbers justify it.
