  • Deep expertise building complex automations with n8n, Airflow, Temporal, Jira Automation, or Workato.
  • Proficiency in Git-based development workflows including branching, CI/CD, and code review.
  • Working knowledge of Okta, Slack API, and Google Workspace administration for secure automation design.
