I Build Organizations That Are Structured, Accountable and Built to Perform. When roles are unclear, processes depend on individuals, KPIs don't measure what matters, or HR systems cannot support growth, the problem is bigger than HR documentation. It is an organizational design problem. I help SMEs, startups and growing organizations build practical people and operating systems that connect: Organization Structure → Roles → Processes → Accountability → KPIs → Performance → Business Results With 21+ years of corporate HR and organizational leadership experience and MCIPD accreditation, I combine Organization Development, HR strategy, performance management and process design to build systems that work in day-to-day operations—not generic templates that sit in folders. What I Can Help You Build Organization Design & Development • Organization structures and reporting lines • Roles, responsibilities and accountability frameworks • Job descriptions and competency frameworks • RACI and responsibility matrices • Delegation of Authority frameworks • Workforce and manpower planning • Organizational gap assessments • Restructuring and transformation roadmaps Performance Management, KPIs & OKRs • Complete Performance Management Systems • Role-based and departmental KPI scorecards • KPI formulas, weights, targets and measurement criteria • OKR frameworks • Probation and performance review systems • Performance Improvement Plans • Management performance dashboards • Evidence-based performance measurement SOPs & Process Improvement • End-to-end process mapping • Standard Operating Procedures • Process flowcharts • Responsibility and approval mapping • Operational controls and escalation mechanisms • Management reporting structures • ERP-ready process and data requirements HR Strategy & Systems • HR strategy and transformation • HR policies and employee handbooks • HR audits and gap assessments • Recruitment and onboarding systems • Competency and talent frameworks • Workforce planning • Succession and leadership development • HR analytics and reporting Compliance & Governance • HR policy frameworks • Codes of conduct • Disciplinary and grievance procedures • Leave and attendance frameworks • Employee lifecycle controls • HR governance and compliance reviews My Approach I do not begin with templates. I begin by understanding how your organization actually operates: how work moves, where decisions are made, where accountability breaks down, what management needs to measure and what employees need to deliver. Then I connect the system: Business Objective → Organization → Role → Process → Responsibility → KPI → Evidence → Management Action This means your job descriptions connect to actual responsibilities, your SOPs connect to real workflows, your KPIs connect to measurable outcomes, and your performance system gives management information it can actually use. For organizations preparing for HRIS/ERP implementation, I can also structure processes, responsibilities, approvals, KPIs and data requirements so they are ready to be translated into digital workflows. Why Work With Me? • 21+ years of corporate HR and organizational leadership experience • MCIPD qualified • Organization Development and performance management expertise • Business-first rather than bureaucracy-first approach • Customized systems rather than copy-paste templates • Strong focus on measurable accountability • Executive-level thinking combined with implementation detail • Experience supporting SMEs, startups and growing organizations Whether you need one professionally designed HR policy or an integrated organization-wide operating and performance system, the objective remains the same: Build something your managers can manage, your employees can understand, and your organization can actually use. If you are building, restructuring or scaling your organization, send me a message describing your company, current challenge and desired outcome.

With over 20+ years of IT and digital transformation experience, I have worked as a highly skilled Senior Digital Program Manager, SAFe Release Train Engineer (RTE), Technology Solution Manager, Agile Coach, and Business Analyst, partnering with leading global organizations such as IKEA Sweden, IBM Global, Decathlon IT, Cushman & Wakefield, Jumio Corporation, and more recently with Ragu AI on enterprise AI platform delivery. I am also designated with the Top Talent badge on Upwork, placing me among the top 3% of freelancers, with 6,000+ hours of successful delivery across global clients and complex digital transformation programs. I am proud to be a University Gold Medalist, blogger, and keynote speaker, and I bring strong expertise in managing complex, business-critical programs across domains, distributed teams, and multiple geographies. Over the years, I have been recognized multiple times as a star performer by C-suite stakeholders for my delivery leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to build alignment across business and technology teams. I also bring solid hands-on experience across Gantt, ClickUp, Jira (including Advanced Roadmaps), Monday, Slack, and Confluence, with over 10 years of usage across enterprise delivery environments. On the technology side, I have worked closely with teams across Python, Java, React, and C++, and have also led delivery initiatives involving Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning. Recent AI / Enterprise Delivery Experience Ragu AI – Enterprise AI Platform Delivery Most recently, I have been leading delivery and product operations for an enterprise AI platform focused on knowledge-grounded assistants and a multi-tenant SaaS architecture. My responsibilities include roadmap execution, sprint planning, engineering governance, stakeholder management, and cross-functional delivery across platform hardening, AI capabilities, DevOps, and customer onboarding initiatives. I have been driving the implementation of scalable AI workflows, enterprise integrations, delivery processes, and governance mechanisms to support secure, production-ready deployments and multi-client rollouts of AI-powered solutions. Cushman & Wakefield – Digital Transformation / Product & Program Delivery At Cushman & Wakefield, I have been involved in enterprise product and digital transformation initiatives, working closely with stakeholders on technology delivery, AI-led solution discussions, workflow/process improvements, roadmap planning, and execution governance. My work has included coordinating across business teams, engineering, and leadership to drive delivery alignment, streamline operational processes, and support the rollout of strategic product and technology initiatives in a complex enterprise environment. I've spent the last few years acting as the bridge between founders, engineering teams, product managers, customer success, finance, and external stakeholders—ensuring execution stays on track while leadership focuses on strategic priorities. Project Achievements I am particularly proud of two major digital initiatives at Decathlon India, where I led the complete software engineering workflow and product rollout from scratch for Decathlon App and AllForSport. Building a social network and sports engagement platform was new for Decathlon and represented an important step in their omnichannel transformation journey. The initiative involved significant ambiguity, evolving business requirements, and continuous prioritization of what would deliver the most impact. I played a key role in defining business requirements, creating use cases, right-scoping launches, managing Agile delivery, and coordinating with third-party integrators and support systems. Over the course of one year, we successfully launched 4 major and 6 minor releases, delivering measurable business outcomes: 30% improvement in team lead time / productivity 10,000+ app downloads Peak sales revenue of USD 30,000/day App rating above 4.5 40,000+ registered users 30% repeat customers 1,000+ activities hosted on the platform This was a significant milestone in Decathlon’s digital and online revenue journey, especially during the Covid period, as the company accelerated its transition toward scalable omnichannel and community-led digital experiences. Across my career, I have consistently operated at the intersection of business strategy, product delivery, Agile execution, stakeholder management, and technology leadership. I am comfortable stepping into roles that require program setup, delivery governance, backlog and roadmap planning, client communication, process optimization, vendor coordination, and driving execution across globally distributed teams. My ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery execution allows me to quickly add value in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments.

What does a Cultured Code Things specialist do?

A Cultured Code Things specialist builds and configures automation workflows that move data into the Things productivity app on Apple devices. This role focuses on connecting external tools to Things using supported technical methods like the Things URL scheme, AppleScript, and Apple Shortcuts. The specialist ensures that tasks, projects, and notes from other applications appear correctly within the Things database without manual re-entry. They solve integration challenges by writing scripts or designing shortcut flows that handle complex data migration and daily task capture.

  • Builds custom Apple Shortcuts workflows that capture content from other apps and create new to-dos in Things with specific tags, deadlines, and project assignments. These shortcuts often parse text or data from emails, web pages, or other productivity tools to populate the correct fields in Things automatically.
  • Writes and tests AppleScript code for macOS environments to interact directly with the Things application programming interface. This script work allows for bulk operations, such as migrating hundreds of tasks from legacy systems like OmniFocus or Todoist into Things while preserving hierarchical structures and metadata.
  • Configures and validates data imports using the Things URL scheme, including JSON-based data strings for advanced users who need precise control over how information enters the app. The specialist verifies that each imported item lands in the correct list, area, or project and displays the intended title, notes, and due dates.
  • Guides clients through supported migration paths from apps like Apple Reminders or Microsoft To Do, troubleshooting edge cases where data formats do not match Things requirements. This process involves cleaning source data, mapping fields accurately, and running test imports to confirm that no tasks are lost or duplicated during the transition.
  • Documents the specific automation steps and integration logic used in each project so clients can maintain or adjust the workflows later. Clear instructions explain how to trigger shortcuts, modify script parameters, or update URL schemes when the client adds new data sources or changes their task management habits.

How to hire a Cultured Code Things specialist on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your automation goals clearly so freelancers can propose the right technical approach. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description in seconds. Describe your needs in a few sentences and Uma drafts a job post for the role. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post.

  • Specify whether you need AppleScript solutions for Mac or Apple Shortcuts workflows for iOS and iPadOS integration.
  • List the source apps for data migration, such as Todoist, OmniFocus, or Apple Reminders, to clarify the import path.
  • Detail any custom JSON formatting requirements for the Things URL scheme to ensure accurate data entry.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for portfolios that demonstrate verified migrations and working automation scripts rather than general productivity advice. Uma can run instant video interviews and build shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess technical fit quickly.

  • Check for examples of AppleScript code that successfully creates or modifies to-dos within the Things database structure.
  • Verify experience with the Things URL scheme by reviewing documentation they have written for complex data imports.
  • Confirm they have handled edge cases during migrations from other task managers without losing metadata or tags.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss specific technical challenges related to your current workflow and how they plan to solve them using supported tools. Interviews can be scheduled and conducted within Upwork Messages with an immediate transcript and summary after each one.

  • Ask how they validate that imported items appear in the correct lists and fields after a bulk migration.
  • Request a brief explanation of how they handle authentication or permissions when scripting interactions with Things.
  • Inquire about their process for documenting custom shortcuts so your team can maintain them later.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for script development, testing, and final documentation to track progress effectively. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Define the exact number of tasks or data sets to migrate as a concrete deliverable for the first milestone.
  • Require tested Apple Shortcuts or AppleScript files that execute without errors on your specific device setup.
  • Include a final step for verifying data integrity across all target lists before releasing the final payment.
