From AI Intern to RPA Developer: What Two Internships Taught Me About Automation Careers
Lessons from progressing between an AI Intern role at Draskenlabs and an RPA Developer Intern role at Avent IQ while finishing my B.Tech CSE, and advice for CS students pursuing automation careers.
Building an Automated Face Recognition Pipeline with Python and OpenCV
How I designed an RPA-style pipeline in Python using OpenCV and InsightFace to automatically detect, match, and sort photos by face — input, processing, decision-making, output.
Automating Excel-Based Business Workflows with n8n: Patterns That Actually Work
Practical n8n patterns for automating Excel-based reporting and business workflows — reading and writing spreadsheets, triggering on file changes, and generating recurring reports without manual copy-paste.
Landing an AI/Automation Internship as a CS Student in 2026: What Actually Worked
What I learned landing an AI Intern role and then an RPA Developer Intern role as a computer science student, and the real projects and certifications that got me there.
Prompt Engineering in Practice: Designing System Prompts That Actually Hold Up
What I learned about writing reliable system prompts while building the AI JobCopilot's resume generator and a Groq-powered chatbot for my own portfolio.
Building Elevate Fitness: An AI-Powered Fitness App with Next.js, Supabase, and Agentic AI
How I built Elevate Fitness, an AI-driven fitness app with Next.js App Router, Supabase, SVG-based exercise demos, and personalized workout and diet plan generation using agentic AI.
RPA vs. AI Automation: What I Learned Building Bots at Avent IQ and Workflows at Draskenlabs
A grounded comparison of rule-based RPA (Automation Anywhere) and LLM-driven AI automation (n8n), based on real internship work at Avent IQ and Draskenlabs, and how the two approaches actually complement each other.
How I Built an AI Chatbot for My Portfolio with Groq and Next.js
A walkthrough of the client-side AI chatbot widget on my portfolio site — system prompt design, Groq's API with a fallback model, and a lightweight custom markdown renderer, all without a backend.
Building AI JobCopilot: A Chrome Extension That Automates Job Applications with n8n and LLMs
How I built AI JobCopilot, a Chrome extension that extracts LinkedIn job descriptions, triggers an n8n workflow, and uses LLMs to generate tailored recruiter emails and ATS-optimized resumes automatically.
Building Simple Autonomous AI Workflows with n8n, LLMs, and MCP Servers
How I think about building autonomous, multi-step AI workflows using n8n, LLMs, and MCP servers — grounded in what I built for my Elevate Fitness project and my internship automation work.
n8n vs Make vs Zapier for AI Automation: What I Learned Building Real Workflows
A hands-on comparison of n8n, Make, and Zapier for AI and LLM-driven automation, based on building the AI JobCopilot pipeline and automating internal workflows during my internships.
MERN Stack vs Next.js Full Stack: What I'd Choose in 2026
How I chose between MERN and Next.js full-stack architecture while building Elevate Fitness, and what I learned about App Router, Supabase, and shipping small production apps in 2026.
AI Automation Workflows I Built During My Internships (And What They Actually Save)
How I approached building real AI and RPA automation workflows during my internships at Draskenlabs and Avent IQ, and the practical time-saving patterns I keep reusing.
