What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining operations, strategy and product/technical work at mission-driven startups where I can scale processes, lead teams, and build operationally sound products.

I am a multidisciplinary professional blending strategy, operations and software development to drive measurable results for startups and social ventures. I have led process design, cross-functional teams and go-to-market research across energy, health, logistics and food systems.

As a cofounder and COO I designed and implemented lean processes that enabled a small team to run efficient operations and coordinate supply chains, while in business development roles I assessed thousands of accounts and executed targeted outbound campaigns to C-suite prospects.

My technical foundation includes Python, SQL, FastAPI, React and DevOps practices developed through an intensive software engineering program and practical projects. I apply systems thinking and product-minded problem solving to prototype technical solutions and support data-driven decisions.

I seek roles where I can combine operations strategy, product thinking and hands-on engineering to scale impact-driven ventures, mentor teams and streamline processes for growth.
