Ten years ago a client hired me to manage a spreadsheet. That same client today would get an assistant who can build the AI system that replaces it. I've spent a decade in executive support and I have never once done the job the way I did it the year before. The arc - all of it visible in my Upwork history below ⭐2011–2017 · Executive & administrative support. Inbox, calendar, research, reporting, coordination. The fundamentals, done for founders across the US, UK and Canada. ⭐⭐2018–2022 · My clients needed websites and traffic. So I learned WordPress, SEO and content systems, and I ran them rather than outsourcing them. ⭐⭐⭐2022–2024 · My clients needed things verified before they shipped. So I moved into technical QA ; web and app testing, payment testing, structured reporting engineers could act on. ⭐⭐⭐⭐2024–2025 · My clients needed their operations to stop being manual. So I went deep on Airtable, CRM architecture and automation, and started replacing recurring admin with systems that ran themselves. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐2025–now · I trained as a full-stack developer (Zone01 Kisumu — project-based, peer-reviewed) and started building AI agents and automation pipelines. That's the work I do today. Every one of those steps started with a client needing something I couldn't yet do. I don't hand that gap to someone else. I close it, and then it belongs to whoever I work for next. What that means you're hiring in 2026 🤖 AI systems : agents and assistants built on Claude, GPT and Gemini. Automation pipelines in n8n, Make and Zapier. Internal knowledge bases your team can query. AI wired into the tools you already run. 📅 Executive support : calendar and inbox ownership, scheduling across time zones, travel, meeting prep and follow-through, correspondence drafted in your voice. 📊 Operations & delivery : projects run in Asana, ClickUp, Notion or Trello. Owners, deadlines and status current, so you stop chasing people for updates. ⚙️ Systems & data : Airtable and CRM architecture, self-maintaining dashboards, analysis you can make a decision from. 🗂️ Process : SOPs, onboarding systems and documentation, so the work survives without me in the room. Why the technical depth is real I'm a trained full-stack developer and I run a technology company as CEO , a marketplace and logistics platform operating in Kenya. So when I build you an AI workflow, I'm not assembling a template from a YouTube video. I can design it, connect the APIs, debug it when it breaks, and explain to your board why it was worth building. Most executives choose between someone who can run their operations and someone who can build their systems. You don't have to. What I'm not I don't take bulk data entry or overflow admin. If that's the need, there are excellent people here who'll do it faster and cheaper. What I do is sit beside a founder and carry the operational load — the systems, the follow-through, and the things that quietly break when nobody owns them. The record ✅ 100% Job Success Score across 125 contracts and 10,000+ logged hours ✅ One client kept me for 1,700+ hours across six years , I don't churn ✅ Available full-time, 40+ hours a week ✅ Nairobi (EAT) - full overlap with UK and EU hours, plus your US mornings Tell me what's eating your week. I'll tell you which parts of it a system should be handling instead.
