Workflow engineering for Texas founders — from Austin SaaS to Houston energy to Dallas logistics.
Permian Basin operators drown in field-ticket paperwork — most still fax or email PDFs between rig, yard, and back office.
Dallas freight brokers run on 6-tool stacks (TMS, ELD, QuickBooks, DAT, email, Excel) with zero automated reconciliation.
Austin startups hit the $2M ARR wall where HubSpot + Stripe + Slack stop being enough and nothing in the middle talks.
Client snapshot
A Houston-based oilfield services company was losing $40K/month on misrouted field tickets. I built an n8n flow that parses ticket PDFs with GPT-4o vision, validates well IDs against their internal database, auto-routes to the right AP clerk, and Slack-alerts on exceptions. Ticket cycle time dropped from 9 days to 36 hours.
Who builds it: Waseem Nasir — AI automation engineer, digital nomad from Pakistan, based in Bali/ASEAN, serving global clients.
Yes. I have built n8n-based dispatch flows that pull loads from DAT and Truckstop, score them against driver location and HOS clocks, and push the top matches into a dispatcher Slack channel with one-click accept. Reduces load-board refresh time from hours to minutes.
For field operations, GPT-4o vision handles ticket OCR and equipment-tag extraction better than Tesseract or AWS Textract. For reservoir or production analytics, Claude Opus is stronger at long-context document synthesis. I pick per use case, not per vendor.
A single production n8n workflow with error handling, alerts, and a retry layer takes 1-2 weeks. A full multi-workflow system (lead capture, qualification, routing, reporting) is usually 4-6 weeks. I work in weekly demos so you see progress, not a black box.
Constantly. Zapier hits a ceiling at 2-3 steps; n8n handles branching logic, error retries, and self-hosted data without the per-task pricing trap. Most Austin clients cut Zapier spend by 60-80% in the first quarter after migrating.
30-minute discovery call. No pitch deck. I map your current workflow, identify the highest-leverage automation targets, and tell you whether it makes sense to work together.
