Project & Operation Management |E-commerce, AI & SaaS Operation Expert

I help founders build accountable operations, organize software delivery, and turn growing businesses into systems that run with less daily supervision. Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success Score If priorities keep changing, contractors need constant follow-up, or your business depends on you to keep everything moving, I can take ownership of the operating structure: clear priorities, documented workflows, delivery standards, team accountability and leadership reporting. My experience spans SaaS, ERP implementation, agencies, research operations, e-commerce and real estate. I connect business goals to the people, processes and technology needed to deliver them. WHAT I CAN OWN • Operations leadership: cross-functional execution, meeting cadences, escalation management and founder reporting. • Technical project management: roadmaps, backlogs, developer briefs, contractor coordination, integration dependencies and release planning. • Process improvement: SOPs, onboarding workflows, handoffs, quality controls and scalable delivery systems. • Team accountability: clear ownership, deadlines, KPIs, performance reviews and progress dashboards. • AI-assisted operations: practical workflow automation and operating tools that reduce recurring administration. • Delivery quality: acceptance criteria, QA coordination and pre-deployment verification.

HOW I WORK I start by understanding what the business needs to achieve, where work gets stuck and which decisions require your involvement. Then I establish one clear operating structure: priorities, owners, deadlines, completion criteria and reporting. I coordinate execution, surface risks early and keep you informed with concise updates covering progress, blockers and decisions needed. For software projects, I translate business requirements into actionable development tasks and coordinate the team through testing and release. For operations, I document repeatable work, improve handoffs and automate appropriate steps. TOOLS & SYSTEMS Project management: ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Trello, Monday and Odoo Projects. Operations and collaboration: Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Confluence, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. CRM and support: GoHighLevel, Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, Odoo CRM, Zendesk and Gorgias. Technical delivery coordination: GitHub, Postman, AWS and staging/production workflows. Reporting and AI: advanced Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, dashboard design and Claude/MCP workflow building. LET’S DISCUSS YOUR BUSINESS Send me a brief description of your business, your biggest operational bottleneck and what you want to achieve next. We can discuss the priorities, the scope I would own and the operating structure needed to move forward.
