Message

I built the EA, HR, finance, and operations function largely from the ground up for a fully remote organisation. I manage executive support, recruitment, payroll and payments, and regional budgets while maintaining company-wide HR policies.

I also built automation workflows with Zapier and Make.com and a Notion workspace, and prepared an eight-module HR portal configuration brief for a 20-person distributed team. At Thamani Technologies & Systems, I improved document turnaround time by 30% through optimized workflows.
