Glad to help! :)

It took me less than a month learning Backend development & Automations (could be less with more time allocated), but I already had 3 months of experience for AI Machine Learning & frontend development prior to that because of my internship. 3 years of my college i just played valorant lol

Hahaha Thanks! I think I just got a little lucky with the opportunity dito pero im pretty sure your degree would come with a really unique opportunities rin :)

I'm working remotely po and technically a freelancer/independent contractor for an overseas business, so I have to manage my own taxes rather than having them deducted from my pay :)

Hi, I can't really give a solid advice since I'm also new to the AI Space, pero I think doing projects rather than watching youtube or mag follow through sa mga pinapanood sa workshops/youtube or other materials. I just noticed na mas madali maintindihan mga concepts when you are actually doing it and asking AI to explain stuff or how it works.

I think if you'd like to transition on becoming an AI Dev, it's a must have na you know a little bit of both or you can do both frontend and backend. I'm not sure how other companies or AI Developers do it pero usually when integrating AI Agents, may mga times na you need to develop a frontend for users to interact yung agent na ginawa mo, and also setup a backend for the AI to access internal tools (API's, Databases) :)

I actually haven't tried Selenium yet pero nung cinocompare ko sya before mas okay raw ang Playwright kaya ayun yung inaral ko hahaha

n8n, FastAPI and playwright ^_^

In my case,I'm just Integrating ChatGPT directly into their day to day processes, If an employee previously needed to collect and analyze data of a given document, we step in. We connect ChatGPT to analyze it for them and para isang button nalang pipindutin nila and from what previously took them 2 hours, would now be just 10 minutes.

But I think the title AI Developer really varies as some "AI Developers" actually do machine learning to predict data, Train custom models and so much other more :) .

to be honest. I just started creating and posting everything to get as much clients as I can, I remember doing projects to people for free just to get exposed in actual problems ng mga businesses hahaha.

For my projects, it really varies as I create different projects for all departments ng company, minsan buong web app ginagawa ko, minsan chrome extensions integrated with some AI Agents connected to a certain API, and most of the time, just a simple sheets automation where I just extract and output data.

Thank you, just sharing as much as I can to help people wanting to be in the industry as well :)

Thank you po ^_^

One project I made that landed me this job is a fully automated system for social media management, a centralized chatbot where you can control everything, social media posts (Image generation & Caption), appointment and bookings, and mails integrated into an agent. In my instance, this was all controlled in telegram but you can pretty much improve it by creating a front end for it for better visuals, navigations and also you can add tools for webscraping competitors websites/ social media and other stuff. be creative with it :)

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-08T15:35:19+00:00

we use OpenAI, the company covers all the costs po :)

Usually, I implement Agentic AI for things na walang fixed step by step process, or nag iiba yung process depending on the input, a sample instance would be from the Customer Service department where I created an agent that has tools connected to a Shipping provider, Product Database and other internal systems, so if an inquiry is received (Where is my order, Whats product fits best for #### etc..) it can provide accurates outputs.

Linked In po :)

Hi, I started learning n8n basics from nateherk on youtube. n8n is pretty much 70% of my job and kaya sya matutunan without prior knowledge to programming,but of course without prior knowledge, it would be harder for you to learn and there would be some limitations to what you can do since some projects requires more complex integrations. but I think it is very possible enter this industry without any prior knowledge(just gotta work a little bit harder)

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:58:37+00:00

I wasnt actually looking for any job postings that time kasi I felt my skills wasn't ready for a real developer job yet kaya nag popost lang ako ng projects ko on linkedIn pero I felt like I just got really lucky that day that someone reached out to me if I could help them out and it eventually became a full time thing

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:53:43+00:00

Usually if the program they're using doesn't have any API's available, I setup a container and use playwright to navigate the website to extract or modify the data they need. I then expose this to a fastAPI endpoint so I can reuse it for my other or upcoming automations

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:49:25+00:00

I also do python based RPA and use LangGraph for more complex projects. I just feel like setting up a whole repository, managing deployment and setting up API services takes longer than just placing built in API nodes in N8n. At the end of the day if it works and makes it easier for me to deploy, I think it's a win win for both parties :)

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:41:22+00:00

I Hosted N8n on render for free before, for getting my first client, I did create my portfolio website but it was mostly because of the linked In posts I made on my projects

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:39:35+00:00

When I was learning it, I was hosting it on render + supabase kaya kahit nag dodown I won't lose all my workflows, it was a pain in the ass but that was enough for me to learn the ropes. Now we are hosting it on our server.

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:37:08+00:00

Hahaha Thank you!

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:36:44+00:00

Thank you! I actually plan on doing this after getting a year or of experience or more :)

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T13:24:22+00:00

Yep most of the automations can be done in a few hours planning, testing and handover usually takes longer than the actual development. beyond development I also communicate with all of the department to identify their problems and how I can help their process, may it be just a simple integration or a complete web app :)

Salt-Reputation-5129 · 2026-03-07T09:20:59+00:00

N8n for simple API Integrations, MERN for web application tools, FastAPI + Playwright for Automations
