Hello

Senior Solutions Architect at n8n. I help teams design automation that holds up in production.

This site exists mostly for image cultivation. The useful parts are below.

Profile

Hey. I'm Jan Repnak, and I'm genuinely enthusiastic about automation.

Born and raised in Mecklenburg, I studied Industrial Engineering at the University of Rostock. These days I work and live in Lüneburg, the greatest place on earth.

At n8n, I help customers design workflow automation that survives real production traffic. That includes AI agents: getting them past the demo stage into something a team can run, audit, and trust. Previously I did the same for HashiCorp on Vault.

Most teams don't need more AI. They need automation that doesn't fall over. Roughly half of what's worth automating needs no model at all, and the interesting problems start when an agent touches production: who approved it, what did it do, and can you prove it afterwards?

Focus areas

  • 01

    n8n enterprise architecture

    Reference architectures on AWS and Kubernetes, queue mode at scale, custom nodes, and rollout patterns for large deployments.

  • 02

    Workflow design and error handling

    Idempotent steps, retries, dead-letter paths, and observability that survives a 3 a.m. page.

  • 03

    AI agents in production

    The unglamorous part of agents: evaluations, human-in-the-loop, credential scoping, and telemetry, so you can see and audit what an agent actually did.

  • 04

    Infrastructure automation

    Terraform, Proxmox, and Talos for self-hosted setups that don't fight you on day two.
