What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply AI-driven automation and structured problem-solving to optimize operations, build scalable SOPs, and enable cross-functional teams.

I am an early-career professional with a Master’s from Columbia University and experience founding and scaling an operations-focused startup. I build data-driven SOPs, optimize supply chains, and translate technical requirements into user-centric enablement and training materials.

As Founder & Operations Lead of a healthy food startup, I implemented high-efficiency SOPs that reduced daily loss to 2%, built a direct-sourcing supply chain that cut procurement costs by 20%, and led market-entry analysis for brand positioning.

My background includes technical writing and standardization work at a quality supervision institution, leading university research projects with published outcomes, and strong skills in prompt engineering, workflow automation, SQL, and data visualization. I bring structured problem-solving and a passion for AI adoption to operational transformation.
