I help startups, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses streamline operations, launch products, and scale efficiently. With 10+ years of international experience across Dubai, Europe, China, the US, and LATAM, I specialize in aligning strategy with execution — transforming fragmented workflows into structured, scalable systems. My background spans e-commerce, travel tech, app development, and digital platforms, working closely with founders and C-level teams in fast-paced startup environments. Over the past 5+ years as a freelancer, I’ve led complex, cross-functional projects including global operations transitions (such as relocating headquarters from Asia to LATAM during high-growth e-commerce cycles), international product sourcing optimization (shifting supply chains from China to Vietnam for cost efficiency), and multiple Web2/Web3 app and product launches. I bring experience in: • Business operations & workflow optimization • End-to-end app and product launches • E-commerce & Amazon operations • Global product sourcing & supply chain coordination • Cross-functional project management (marketing, design, product, merchandising) • Automation & systems implementation (5+ years ClickUp, Trello, Shopify, GetAccept, Google Workspace) • Digital marketing performance and Advertising Meta & TikTok • Stakeholder coordination across distributed global teams My added value is combining operational leadership with digital execution — connecting physical products, tech platforms, and marketing workflows into one delivery system.

Setting up a company in Dubai looks simple from the outside, pick a free zone, fill a form & done. In reality the jurisdiction you choose, the activity you register, and the structure you pick can make or break your bank account application, your tax position, and how smoothly the business actually runs. That's the part I help clients get right. I have spent 10 years in corporate business across the UAE, the last 5 of them focused specifically on company formation and tax consultancy. I have set up entities on Dubai Mainland, across every major UAE free zone, and offshore, including Foundations and Holding Companies. I am also ICA certified in AML Compliance (Ministry of Economy approved), which matters more than people expect once banks start asking questions. My process starts with understanding your business model; not just what you want to do on paper, but how you actually plan to operate. From there, I evaluate the options and DELIVER you a structured report comparing the best 3 jurisdictions and structures, so you are making a decision with full visibility rather than guessing. End to End Deliverables: Jurisdiction & structure selection (Mainland, Freezone, Offshore, Trusts/Foundations/Holding Companies) Business activity selection suited to your operations Full company formation process, start to finish Immediate post-incorporation requirements Bank account opening documentation, signing schedule coordination, and follow-up on compliance queries until the account is live Corporate Tax Registration AML Registration, and AML Policy & Framework drafting where required SOPs aligned with UAE Tax Regulatory Requirements VAT advisory; registration, compliance, and filing Working on project basis, with fees payable on completion of the assignment and If you're not sure yet whether Mainland, Free Zone, or Offshore is right for you, or which one actually suits how you plan to run the business, that's exactly the kind of question I help answer.

I automate e-commerce stores. Order flows, WhatsApp messages, reporting, AI agents. Before I did this for other people, I spent years running e-commerce operations from the inside. That's usually the part that matters to people hiring me. I've been the one responsible for the numbers, not just the one handing over a task. Right now I run all digital and e-commerce for a skincare brand. Over 1,000 orders across 9 products. I cut its paid ad spend by about 70%, and ChatGPT is now its biggest traffic source at 40% of sessions. That ChatGPT number surprises people. I rebuilt the site and the content so AI assistants could actually quote it, and now it sends more visitors than Google does. Here's the honest version though: Google traffic also dropped over the same period, so ChatGPT being number one is partly my work and partly Google's loss. What I can actually show you is specific. Buying questions where the brand didn't show up at all six months ago, and where it gets recommended now. Other brands I've worked with: • A crochet brand selling only through Instagram DMs. No website, so Meta had nothing to work with and normal sales campaigns just failed. I set up a lead-ads system that sends every DM order back to Meta as a real buyer signal. Sales went from zero to a steady monthly figure. Later I built them a proper site. • A diagnostic lab. I built the software they use every day for accounts, reports and records, plus their website. • A medical clinic. Website and WhatsApp marketing. • A real estate firm in Dubai. Website, lead forms, property listings, Google Business Profile. • A hair care brand. Website, SEO and GEO, Google Merchant Center. What I can do for you: 🔧 AI AGENTS AND AUTOMATION • Claude Code and AI agents. I've published an open-source Claude Code skill on GitHub. The brand I manage runs on agents I built: ad reports, analytics, stock alerts, a daily briefing. They run on my own server around the clock. • n8n workflows that connect your store to anything with an API. • WhatsApp Cloud API. Business Manager, WABA, approved templates, and the order webhooks that fire confirmations and delivery updates. • Instagram posting on autopilot, through a custom Meta app I built. 🛒 SHOPIFY AND WOOCOMMERCE • Migrations. I moved a 1,000-order store from Shopify to WooCommerce and wrote 3 custom PHP plugins to keep the features we would have lost. • Broken tracking. Meta Pixel, Conversions API, GA4. • Bug fixes, speed, checkout changes. 📈 AI VISIBILITY (GEO) • Getting brands into the answers AI assistants give buyers. Schema, entity clarity, content written so it can be quoted. Before all this I ran Amazon operations for a private label brand in the UK and EU for 4 years. Listings, PPC, Helium 10 research, Alibaba sourcing, Brand Registry, suspension appeals. I hired and managed a team of four. On AI: I use it every day and I would rather say so than pretend otherwise. It's why I work fast. But nothing goes out untested. I check everything against a live store before it reaches you. Two 5-star reviews from older Upwork work, ID verified. I work UK and EU hours, plus US mornings. I'll be straight about my Upwork history. It's thin. I spent the last four years working with brands directly instead of freelancing here. So my proof is the work itself: stores you can visit, a GitHub repo you can read, and clients I can introduce you to. I'm rebuilding here on purpose, which means right now you get more of my attention than my rate suggests. I take on 15 to 25 hours of client work a week, so the projects I accept get proper attention. If something in your store eats your time every week, message me. I'll tell you in one reply whether it can be automated and what it would cost.
