Need Help Getting Started on Upwork

Hi everyone 👋
I’m an AI engineer with hands-on experience in no-code and low-code automation platforms like:

• CrewAI
• n8n
• Make.com
• ComfyUI
• Google ADK

I’ve successfully built and deployed multiple real-world projects from agentic AI workflows to automation systems for scheduling, scraping, and even image/video generation pipelines.

Now, I’m trying to kickstart my freelancing career on Upwork, but I’m running into a few challenges and would love some advice from the community:

1. How do I write an Upwork profile that actually attracts clients?

2. What kind of portfolio should I prepare?

3. How do I land the first few clients and build trust from scratch?

Here’s my Upwork profile (feedback welcome!):

I’d really appreciate any tips, feedback, or strategies that helped you get your start. Thanks in advance 🙏
