WASEEM ILYAS / UK
Technologist who designs, builds, teaches, and automates.
I run Automancer, a UK automation consultancy helping small businesses get real value from AI and practical digital systems. Before that: front-end web, instructional design, and fifteen-plus years of making digital things.
What I actually do
Five connected strands, one practice: turning technology into things people can use.
AI automation
Designing and building AI-assisted workflows and lightweight systems that do real work for small businesses.
Hover, tap, or tab through the nodes to trace each strand.
Selected work
A few projects where the mix mattered more than any single skill. Some are public. Some are anonymised to protect client privacy.
