    Wayfair n8n AI Agent Engineering Externship

    Learn one of the most in-demand skills shaping the future of work: building AI agents. In this externship, you’ll step into the role of an AI Agent Developer and use n8n to design agents that think, plan, and act on real data — automating insights, decisions, and workflows. No coding experience required. By the end, you’ll create a live dashboard powered by your own AI agents, gaining hands-on experience that applies to any role or industry — from marketing and consulting to product management and data science.

About me

I turn messy data into queryable databases and dashboards, using SQL and Claude to inform decisions.

I am Mateus Santana, a Technical Program Manager with roots in product and engineering. I work across SDLC, resource planning and cloud platforms (AWS), and I use tools like Jira, MS Project, Python, R and SQL to move projects forward. I have a BE in Computer Science with a Mathematics minor, PRINCE2 training, and I am focused on applied AI and data work, including an externship building an analytics database and Q4 dashboard for Breaking Games. I am not looking for opportunities right now.

Overview

The Hydroficient IoT Cyber Defense externship recreated a water-monitoring deployment and its supporting IoT stack. The work involved launching realistic attacks such as spoofing and replay, and implementing protocol-level defenses including TLS and mTLS. Deliverables included attack logs, mitigation configurations, and a written security playbook.

What I've accomplished

I produced a STRIDE-based threat model of the hotel water-monitoring system and documented specific mitigations in a shared report.

Project breakdown

The externship presented the hotel's IoT water system and asked for a threat model. I analyzed architecture, applied STRIDE to identify spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial, and elevation threats, and documented mitigations in a shared report.

What I've accomplished

I documented a Prompt Node configuration, wrote prompt templates and example prompts, and demonstrated that the node produced structured outputs for a moodboard image agent.

Project breakdown

The module required creating a Prompt Node. I documented the node setup, prompt structure, and example prompts in a shared document, and showed how the node produced structured outputs for the moodboard image agent.
