What I'm looking for

A remote role in e-commerce operations, Shopify or automation: full-time, part-time or contract. I do my best work in written, async communication. Based in Cyprus (EET); I can overlap with US hours in my evening.

I run a Shopify store and build the automation behind it. I launched the online store of an international beauty brand’s distributor in Serbia from zero. It grew from 39 orders in the first month to ~300 orders per month, with a 31.6% returning-customer rate. I manage promotions, an external media buyer (Meta-reported ROAS ~4x) and technical SEO.

I built Praevidens.ai: one analytics model for Shopify, GA4, Google Search Console and Meta Ads. An AI agent answers questions from real store data, and a validation layer stops it from inventing numbers. A retention engine finds customers who are due to reorder and prepares offers for human approval.

Before that, I founded and ran a company for seven years. It started as consumer e-commerce, pivoted to B2B industrial supply and grew revenue about 5x. I automated its order process in Bitrix24: quote prep went from 50-60 minutes to 5-10 minutes, and shipping paperwork from several hours a day to 10-20 minutes.

I am an operator, not a classic software engineer: I design the process, build tools with AI coding agents, and review and test them myself. Based in Cyprus (EET). I prefer written, async communication.
