Lock & Quay Collective

Johnny Kisu Kim founded Lock & Quay Collective to give mid-market operators access to the kind of automation that typically requires an in-house engineering team. The agency model works when the bench is deep and the build velocity is real. That required infrastructure. I built it.

The studio site runs on my infrastructure. Next.js front, n8n back, self-hosted on the same Hetzner stack that serves this portfolio. Nine showcase modules are public-facing. Each one is a real workflow cluster, not a sales mockup. Clients browse the modules, see exactly what they are buying, and book. The entire surface is live and maintained by me.

Behind the showcase, 29 workflows run in production across finance, eCommerce, SaaS, real estate, and B2B clients. They span the full spectrum of what Lock & Quay sells: outbound, content, ops, handovers, SLA monitoring. Every workflow ships with source JSON, a Loom walkthrough, and a 14-day tweak window. The bench compounds. Each new workflow the studio ships adds to a library that reduces the cost of the next build for every client who follows.
