What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fully remote role where I can own end-to-end technical delivery, build AI-driven workflow automation, and partner with compliance and product teams to ship measurable outcomes in regulated fintech/SaaS environments.

I’m an automation-first Technical Project Manager and AI & Workflow Automation Specialist with 5+ years driving end-to-end delivery across fintech, SaaS, and AI environments. I’m PSM I certified (97.5%) and focus on building n8n- and Jira-powered workflows that eliminate manual overhead while coordinating engineering, compliance, and product stakeholders across distributed teams.

In my recent work, I led a full CRM migration to an independent GoHighLevel setup, deployed n8n automations connecting CRM/email/content platforms, and reduced manual coordination overhead by 30%+. I also own end-to-end vendor SLA accountability, manage regulated communications compliance (including A2P 10DLC SMS setup), and bring compliance-aware planning into delivery. I’m equally comfortable building sprint processes (scoping, dependency tracking, release timelines, OKRs) and translating technical work into executive-ready reporting.
