AI AUTOMATION ENGINEER
I design and ship AI-driven automations, agents, and internal tools for creators, coaches, and small teams, built with the same backend discipline I bring to enterprise Java systems.
WHY MOST SOLO OPERATORS STALL
Manual sorting, labeling, and triage eats hours every week that should be going to clients, not admin work.
Insights from calls, sessions, and podcasts never make it into a post because turning them into content takes too long.
Every process still routes through you for manual review, approval, or publishing, so the business can't scale past your calendar.
Fragile Zapier/Make chains that worked in a demo start failing silently once real usage and edge cases hit them.
WHAT I DO
n8n and Make pipelines that connect the tools you already use, replacing manual, repetitive work with automations that run on their own.
Claude and OpenAI-powered agents wired directly into your inbox, CRM, or content pipeline, built for your exact workflow, not a generic template.
APIs, databases, and infrastructure built with the same rigor as enterprise software. Automations that don't break the first time real traffic hits them.
Lightweight web apps that give you a real interface to manage and monitor your automations, not just a black-box workflow you have to trust blindly.
PROOF OF WORK
Communication & Negotiation Trainer
Built a set of AI systems that run Boris's personal brand end-to-end, from inbox to content to daily posting, so he can stay focused on training clients instead of admin work.
Gmail inbox automatically sorted with an AI classifier, zero manual triage
Live coaching sessions turned into 110+ categorized YouTube content ideas via an AI listener pipeline
Daily Instagram Story generator (n8n + Claude) drafts on-brand posts in his voice, exported ready to publish

Scaling a 50–70 person executive coaching cohort (RESET Program) and a 743-episode business podcast (Empire State Balkan) without adding headcount.
Shipped an AI photography system generating realistic sponsor-outreach imagery for pitch decks
Designing automated application triage and onboarding for the coaching cohort

HOW I'M DIFFERENT
A Java/Spring Boot backend background means the automations I build handle real usage, not just a clean demo.
You get a clear scope, timeline, and price before anything is built. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
The Gmail classifiers, content pipelines, and internal tools I build for clients are the same ones I run for myself daily.
You own the system at the end, documented and explained, not locked behind a black box only I can touch.
WHO AM I
Hi, I'm Nikola Kabasaj, an AI automation engineer with a backend software engineering background. I spent years building scalable, secure distributed systems in the Java/Spring Boot ecosystem before moving into AI automation, and that background changes how I build: I treat automations as production software, not fragile no-code demos.
I design and ship AI-driven workflows, custom agents, and internal tools for creators, coaches, and small teams, connecting tools like Gmail, CRMs, and content pipelines with n8n and the Claude/OpenAI APIs, backed by real infrastructure when the automation needs to scale.
My core stack is Java / Spring Boot for backend systems, and n8n, Claude, and OpenAI for AI automation. I have hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Kafka, and RabbitMQ, the kind of infrastructure experience most automation builders don't have.
HOW WE'D WORK TOGETHER
A free call where we map your current workflow, find the manual bottlenecks, and identify exactly where AI can save you real time.
You get a clear scope, timeline, and fixed price before anything is built. No hourly billing, no scope creep.
I build, test, and deploy the system, engineered like production software, not a fragile no-code demo.
You get full documentation and a working system. Optional ongoing support for monitoring and iteration as your needs grow.
