I'm building a production optimization system for a UK manufacturing client using n8n as the core automation engine. This is a complex 265-hour project over 3-4 months. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD: - Automated order data extraction (PDF parsing) - Production sequencing optimization algorithm - 100+ node n8n workflows with multi-system integration - Real-time operator dashboard (React/Vue.js) - Error recovery and re-optimization system REQUIRED SKILLS: ✓ 2+ years hands-on n8n experience ✓ Built workflows with 100+ nodes ✓ Self-hosted n8n deployments ✓ Python (for optimization algorithms) ✓ Strong JavaScript/TypeScript ✓ REST API integration expertise ✓ PostgreSQL/MySQL ✓ React or Vue.js YOUR PROPOSAL MUST INCLUDE: 1. Portfolio: 2-3 complex n8n workflow examples (screenshots/exports) 2. Describe your most complex n8n project 3. Your experience with optimization/scheduling algorithms 4. Your hourly rate in USD 5. Availability (hours per week) PROJECT PHASES: Phase 1 (25h): Data extraction setup Phase 2 (80h): Algorithm + n8n workflows Phase 3 (50h): Dashboard development Phase 4 (35h): Testing & error handling Phase 5 (30h): Integration & deployment Phase 6 (20h): Training & support Phase 7 (25h): Optimization PAYMENT: Milestone-based with weekly tracking DO NOT APPLY IF: - Basic n8n experience only (<50 nodes) - No n8n portfolio to share - Less than 20 hours/week availability - Can't commit to 3+ month timeline BONUS POINTS: - Manufacturing/production system experience - Operations Research knowledge - PDF extraction experience - n8n custom node development This is NOT an entry-level project. Quality matters more than low price. Looking forward to working with an expert!
