LLM workflow automation

Built LLM-powered automation for SME client workflows — the unsexy category of AI work where the win is measured in hours of manual data entry that stop happening, not in demos.

The pattern

• Find the step where a human is retyping something a machine already knows
• Wrap it in a pipeline with validation, so the automation fails loudly rather than silently
• Hand it over in a form the client can maintain without me

The engineering lesson carried straight into trading infrastructure: a pipeline that fails quietly is worse than no pipeline at all.
