Daniel Walker

AI Agent & Integration Developer

Jul 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 2 mos

I specialize in developing and integrating AI-powered workflows, agents, automation systems, and software services. My work involves connecting AI models with external applications, APIs, databases, automation platforms, and custom tools to create useful end-to-end solutions. I work with technologies including Claude, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes AI, MCP servers, Obsidian, n8n, Docker, REST APIs, webhooks, and cloud or VPS environments. Depending on the project, I configure AI agents to interact with tools, retrieve information, process data, execute workflows, and communicate with connected services. I have experience troubleshooting AI agent environments and resolving configuration issues involving API credentials, environment variables, dependencies, Docker containers, MCP connections, model configuration, webhooks, and external integrations. I also build structured automation pipelines where an event can trigger an AI process, transform or analyze information, interact with another application, and produce an automated result. These workflows can be used for customer support, content processing, business operations, data management, lead handling, notifications, internal tools, and productivity systems. Another area of my work is knowledge and productivity automation, including AI-assisted knowledge bases and Obsidian-based workflows. I focus on creating systems where information can be organized, processed, searched, and used by AI agents as part of an automated workflow. I approach every project by first understanding the required workflow, then configuring the required tools, testing integrations, identifying potential failure points, and optimizing the final system for stability and usability.

AI Automation Specialist

Apr 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 5 mos

As an AI Automation Specialist, I work on designing, building, integrating, and optimizing automation systems for business and technical workflows. My work focuses on connecting AI tools, APIs, databases, communication platforms, and cloud services into reliable automated solutions. I build workflow automation using platforms such as n8n, Make, and Zapier, while also working with custom APIs, webhooks, JSON, authentication systems, and third-party integrations. I help transform repetitive manual processes into structured workflows that can trigger actions, process information, communicate with external services, and deliver results automatically. My experience includes AI agent workflows, chatbot automation, lead management, data processing, notification systems, API integrations, CRM automation, webhook systems, and custom business workflows. I also work with AI models and agent technologies to create intelligent automation that can make decisions and perform tasks based on defined instructions. I pay particular attention to workflow reliability, error handling, authentication, data flow, scalability, and maintainability. I test automations thoroughly to identify failed nodes, API errors, incorrect data mappings, authentication problems, and workflow conflicts. I also assist with deploying automation systems on VPS environments using Docker and related server technologies. This includes configuring services, environment variables, domains, SSL, databases, and secure connections where required. My goal is to create automation systems that are practical, organized, reliable, and easy to maintain while reducing repetitive work and improving operational efficiency.

Automation & AI Infrastructure Specialist

Feb 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 7 mos

I work on advanced automation infrastructure, self-hosted AI environments, VPS deployments, multi-agent systems, and integrations between modern AI and business automation tools. My focus is helping clients deploy reliable technical environments where AI agents and automation workflows can operate together. My work includes VPS configuration, Docker and Docker Compose deployments, AI agent installation, workflow automation, API integration, database connectivity, MCP server configuration, model integration, and troubleshooting. I work with tools such as OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, n8n, Obsidian, MCP, LiteLLM, Docker, PostgreSQL, and other compatible AI infrastructure components. I can configure environments where multiple services communicate through APIs, webhooks, containers, and automation workflows. This includes setting up AI agents, connecting tools through MCP, integrating knowledge systems, configuring model providers, and creating automated processes between different applications. I also focus on diagnosing infrastructure and automation problems. Common areas include failed deployments, Docker container errors, port conflicts, incorrect environment variables, API authentication failures, MCP connection problems, service configuration issues, workflow failures, and performance problems. Security and stability are important parts of my workflow. Where applicable, I configure basic server protection, SSL, secure credentials, firewall settings, service isolation, and appropriate deployment practices. My objective is to deliver clean, understandable, and maintainable automation infrastructure rather than temporary configurations. I test the environment after implementation and verify that the connected services and workflows operate as expected. I continue to develop my skills across AI automation, agentic workflows, cloud infrastructure, self-hosted AI, API integrations, and workflow orchestration so I can work with evolving AI tec
