Technical Product & Operations Leader | AI Automation | Full Stack Dev

I sit at the intersection of technical execution and program delivery, which means I don't just manage the roadmap, I understand what's being built well enough to know when something's off, why it's off, and how to fix it fast. My background spans enterprise AI programs, platform-scale product delivery, and automation systems built to run without hand-holding. At WhatsApp I directed enterprise-scale AI and automation initiatives across a multi-million-dollar portfolio, standing up a PMO from the ground up and standardizing delivery frameworks across four divisions. I embedded ML-driven forecasting into Kanban workflows, reduced decision latency across leadership, and cut operational bottlenecks by 32% by bringing structure to an environment that was moving fast but losing visibility. That role wasn't just program management, it was building the operating system that let the product org actually execute at scale. On the technical side I've run full ERP migrations, engineered automation agents in n8n, OpenClaw, and Claude, orchestrated REST and SOAP API integrations, and managed complex data flows across enterprise environments with near-zero error rates. I've integrated platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, and Firebase, and I use AI tools including Claude to build internal systems that reduce workload and create real operational leverage. What clients get is someone who can hold a technical conversation, translate it into a structured delivery plan, and own the outcome from kickoff to close without needing to be managed in between.
