โœ”๏ธ 4900+ hrs trusted by 50+ Upwork clients โœ”๏ธ 12+ years building and scaling technology companies - 60+ operational transformations from startups to Fortune 50 โœ”๏ธ Syndicate Lead, PH.AI Syndicate (physical AI and robotics, Central and Eastern Europe). Venture Partner at a VUVP multi-stage fund โœ”๏ธ Featured in Forbes Bulgaria in July, 2026 โœ”๏ธ Founder of TrackMage (e-commerce logistics SaaS) I build, fix, and scale the operational backbone of technology companies. Then I automate it with agents. Are you a: โžก๏ธ SaaS or software product company โžก๏ธ marketing or development agency โžก๏ธ e-commerce or logistics business โžก๏ธ startup scaling past the founder-does-everything phase โžก๏ธ company exploring AI transformation for your operations โžก๏ธ founder preparing a raise who wants an investor's read first โžก๏ธ angel, syndicate lead or acquirer who wants a second opinion before the wire Can you relate to some of the below? โ“ Your operations still run on manual processes, Slack messages, and tribal knowledge instead of documented systems โ“ You spend too much on development or delivery without getting tangible, predictable results โ“ Your project budget looks like a black hole โ€” constantly sucking in more money and people โ“ You're firefighting all the time instead of delivering value to your customers โ“ You know AI could transform your operations but don't know where to start or how to deploy it safely โ“ Your founder/CEO is trapped in day-to-day operations instead of focusing on growth โ“ Your deck gets polite no's and nobody tells you why โ“ You are about to wire money into a deal and something feels off If you recognize yourself in at least one of those, you've come to the right place. WHAT I BRING: ๐Ÿ”ง OPERATIONAL TRANSFORMATION I design systems out of the right people, processes, and tools - then install the accountability structures that make them self-governing. SOPs, KPI dashboards, workflow automation, team structure, and governance that actually sticks. 50+ engagements, from solopreneur agencies to 125+ person enterprise teams. ๐Ÿค– AI-NATIVE OPERATIONS I don't just consult on AI - I deploy it. Multi-agent workflows, automated customer support triage, AI-powered analytics, intelligent onboarding systems, and AI-driven research pipelines. Built with n8n, Make, Zapier and custom AI agents on OpenAI and Claude. Currently architecting agentic infrastructure for two ventures, including autonomous agent systems for development, support, and investor operations. ๐Ÿ’ผ INVESTOR READINESS AND DUE DILIGENCE I read decks, models and data rooms the way an investment committee does, and I build them for the companies I advise: financial model review, business plan and pitch deck, cap table and unit economics, data room structure, investor target lists, term sheet review. For investors and acquirers: scored diligence reports and IC-style memos. ๐Ÿ“Š CASE STUDIES: Agency from Portland (Automated Dreams) Transformed solopreneur operation into a scalable agency. Average project value: $3K โ†’ $15K (400% increase). Delivery cycle time cut by 40%. Owner still travels the world while teams deliver consistently.
