About

I work at the intersection of product, customer success, operations, and automation. Over the past few years, I progressed from technical support into a role combining key account ownership, product operations, workflow design, and team leadership within a telecom SaaS environment. My work involves translating customer needs into product improvements, coordinating with engineering, improving operational processes, and building automation solutions using Python, APIs, Cloudflare Workers, and AI tools. I enjoy solving messy operational problems, reducing manual work, and turning repetitive processes into scalable systems. My current focus is AI-assisted productivity, workflow automation, product operations, and building tools that help teams move faster with fewer errors.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for customer success or product operations roles where I can combine key account ownership, technical problem-solving, workflow automation, and process improvement. I enjoy helping customers get value from SaaS products while improving the systems behind the scenes so teams can work faster and more consistently.
