What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote role where I can manage digital products, content systems, or operations across time zones, take ownership of multiple workstreams, and continue growing in AI tooling, content, and digital projects.

I founded big⁵, where I built and launched an AI-powered WhatsApp assistant and an AI background-removal web app, while producing and co-hosting a podcast distributed on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

I also coordinate cross-border product sourcing at Big5 Import, managing supplier communication, negotiation, order accuracy, logistics, and issue resolution from inquiry through delivery. Alongside this, I write search-optimized content for remote clients and manage content strategy, outreach, and digital product growth independently.
