Client snapshot
What this looks like in practice
Built a client-intake and proposal-generation workflow for a Shoreditch-based B2B SaaS. HubSpot leads trigger an n8n flow that enriches the company via Companies House, runs a Claude research pass, drafts a tailored proposal and books the call via Cal.com. Sales ops time dropped from 40 minutes per lead to under 4, and the founder closed the Q review before 09:00 UK time.
Who builds it: Waseem Nasir — AI automation engineer, digital nomad from Pakistan, based in Bali/ASEAN, serving global clients.
Frequently asked questions for clients
Do you work with London startups if you are based overseas?
Yes. I run every London engagement fully remote from Bali, with overlap on UK mornings and async Loom walkthroughs for anything not live. Most founders in Shoreditch or Soho get faster reply times from me than from a local agency, because I am not juggling a studio full of accounts.
Is n8n suitable for a regulated London fintech?
n8n is fine for a regulated fintech as long as it is self-hosted inside your own cloud, your secrets live in a vault, and any PII touching Claude or OpenAI is redacted first. I set those guardrails up by default for Canary Wharf clients and document the data flow so your compliance lead can sign it off.
Can you integrate with UK-specific tools like Xero UK, GoCardless and Companies House?
Yes. Common London builds use Xero UK for finance, GoCardless for direct debits, HubSpot or Pipedrive for CRM, and the Companies House API for enrichment. I wire them together inside n8n so your ops team stops re-keying data between systems.
How do you handle GDPR when AI is in the workflow?
I treat GDPR as a design constraint, not an afterthought. Customer data is minimised before it reaches any LLM, prompts and outputs are logged with retention limits, and I can route through UK or EU-hosted model providers where required. You get a short data-flow diagram you can hand to your DPO.
