About

I build AI-powered automations that turn messy, manual work into reliable systems.I’ve spent the last several years embedding across teams like Marketing, Sales, Ops, and Product to understand workflows end-to-end, identify high-friction steps, and ship automations that improve speed, consistency, and visibility. I like operating in ambiguity, translating “this takes too long” into a clear workflow, then building something practical that scales.My work typically includes: • Running workflow and automation audits to surface high-leverage opportunities • Designing no-code and low-code systems across tools and teams • Connecting internal and external systems using APIs, webhooks, JSON, and light scripting • Building AI-assisted workflows for triage, research, enablement, and reporting • Productionizing experiments with monitoring, edge-case handling, and clear documentationI’m hands-on with modern automation stacks and comfortable collaborating cross-functionally to close feedback loops and improve execution. I optimize for business outcomes, not novelty, and I care about building systems that people can understand, maintain, and trust.If you’re building with AI and automation and want to move faster with durable systems, I’d love to connect.
