PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
At FoodStyles, I delivered automation projects end to end, from requirements through deployment, documentation, and handover. My workflows connected Jira, Google Workspace, Discord, and Clockify, saving 10+ hours of manual work per week.
I built production workflows, bots, and API integrations, including a Discord bot whose data layer I migrated from Google Sheets to Supabase to eliminate AWS hosting downtime. I also developed a queue management web app and a multi-calendar booking widget.
At FoodStyles, I also led operations and quality assurance work, including managing a 100+ person operations team and running 500+ test cases for in-house applications. I’m available now for remote contract or full-time work.
