Welcome to n8.ninja

Automation so lean, your wallet will send a thank-you note.

Hi, I'm Matt. If you've ever yelled at a screen because a form didn't send an email, a workflow broke silently, or your social media calendar turned into a content graveyard, you're in the right dojo.

The Origin Story

$0/monthMonthly Ad SpendBefore Automation
$500/monthAfter AutomatingGoogle Ads, Google Business, SEO, Backlinks, etc.

Since 2017, I've been quietly weaponizing automation for everyone from Fortune 500 giants and top-tier universities to local businesses who think "MCP" is a new energy drink. After spending way too much on Google Ads for my own small service business only to realize I was making less than a guy delivering Uber Eats, I decided to go full automation warlock.

No, there was no AI back then. No ChatGPT to summon. No open-source workflow utopias. Just me, duct tape, and sheer determination. I bootstrapped my way out of the Google Ads Hunger Games and reduced my ad spend to $500/month while tripling my leads and ghost-proofing my content calendar.

How It Works

💥

Build (Controlled Explosion)

We simulate your automation inside a staging environment.

Before we touch your live data or customer workflows, we recreate your problem in a safe little sandbox and build the automation solution there. You get to review, tweak, and understand the logic — no mysterious black boxes, no 'just trust us' energy.

🔗

Integrate (Connecting the Dots)

Once you're happy, we hook it into your actual tools — live.

Whether you're using Google Sheets, Salesforce, Appwrite, Slack, or a CSV taped to your fridge, we connect the automation to your ecosystem. Then we run tests and guide your team through the rollout with documentation, handoffs, or full concierge implementation.

🧪

Tune (The Secret Sauce)

After launch, we monitor, optimize, and evolve your systems.

Your business changes. APIs change. Models improve. That's why we offer ongoing tuning — whether it's updating workflows, training your team, or improving LLM context handling. You're not left with a Rube Goldberg machine duct-taped together — we keep it battle-ready.

Want to automate without losing your mind?

This is how we turn spreadsheets and chaos into intelligent systems that print time, leads, and peace of mind.
