I build internal tools that fix real problems.
About
After 10+ years in Product and digital project management, I am now building internal automation for SMBs that fix operational bottlenecks. Chrome extensions, API integrations, LLM workflows – whatever gets working software into daily use within 1-2 weeks instead of another six months of talking about it. And yes, that em dash was put there all by myself. Having worked with startups, agencies, enterprises and political campaigns, I’m a generalist at heart. Currently thinking about how AI tools blur the boundaries between roles and collapse the path from idea → prototype → product. Open for freelance projects, interim product roles and process automation work for teams that don’t need another slide deck, but someone who can help define the right thing to build (and then actually build it).
