Looking for AI Engineer Collaborators

A small, informal circle of tech professionals building agents and automations for nonprofits.

What I’m looking for

I build AI agents and automations with nonprofits — some of the work is full-blown agentic (Claude Code, MCP, persistent memory, tool use), some is classic workflow automation (n8n, scheduled tasks, glue code). Both are legitimate, and most real engagements involve some of each.

I’m looking for a few peers who enjoy this kind of building — whether you identify as an agent developer, an n8n hacker, an automation engineer, or somewhere in between. Informal, async-first, periodic video calls, no formal commitment.

What we’ll do

  • · Async collaboration
  • · Periodic video calls
  • · Share what we’re building
  • · Bounce ideas off each other
  • · Learn together

Tech I use

  • · Claude Code, MCP, Claude Agent SDK
  • · n8n (self-hosted)
  • · Next.js + Vercel + Postgres
  • · CiviCRM + WordPress
  • · Self-hosted infra

What this isn’t

  • · Not a formal commitment
  • · Not community management
  • · Not a service business
  • · Not a mentorship program
  • · Just peer learning

What I’m working on

Allard Prize donor outreach agent
AI agent that monitors prospects and surfaces only the moments worth acting on.

Built on n8n with Claude as the relevance-scoring brain. Watches 50+ RSS feeds daily, scrapes LinkedIn activity, scores entries against the foundation’s criteria, drafts personalised outreach recommendations. Currently being productionalised to Next.js + Postgres + Vercel for handoff to client infrastructure.

Klaus personal AI assistant
A full agent with persistent memory, sitting on top of my tools.

Claude Code + a constellation of n8n workflows, MCP servers, and Postgres-backed memory. The kind of thing I’d like to help every nonprofit lead end up with for their own work.

MAS volunteer consulting
Technology advisor for Management Advisory Services.

I volunteer with MAS on CiviCRM implementation, AI adoption strategy, agent prototyping, and n8n workflow work for nonprofits in the Greater Toronto Area.

You might be a good fit if…
  • · You build AI agents (Claude Code, MCP, OpenAI Agents SDK, LangGraph — whatever)
  • · You build workflow automations (n8n, Zapier, Temporal, hand-rolled)
  • · You’re moving from one to the other and want a sounding board
  • · You care about nonprofit technology and social impact
  • · You prefer learning by building over theorising
  • · You want peer exchange, not formal networking
  • · You’re comfortable with self-hosted infrastructure
