I build automation and custom software that take manual, repetitive operational work — the kind still running on spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper checklists — and turn it into systems that run themselves. I come at this from inside operations, not from the outside looking in. Six years in international logistics (DHL Express, World Courier) handling corporate accounts, SLAs and cold-chain pharmaceutical shipments, and currently working in hotel operations in New Zealand — where I built the software the property now runs on. That background is the reason I tend to ask what shouldn't be automated before writing anything. Some of what I've built: Hotel operations suite — a full system for a 173-room resort. Room allocation engine that balances workload across cleaning teams by actual effort rather than room count, with geographic routing and an iterative optimization pass. Real-time dashboards across four staff roles, PIN-based access control, audit logging on every change. Python, Flask, SQLite. Running on live property data, recovering roughly two hours of manual coordination per day. Production n8n workflows — for a client in Indonesia: scheduled reporting pulling from Notion and delivering over WhatsApp, a reminder flow, and an Instagram monitoring workflow with deduplication. Self-hosted on my own VPS, running unattended for months. In-room ordering system — QR/NFC menu with room number embedded, live kitchen queue with order state tracking through to room billing. Flask + SQLite. Bilingual digital menu with WhatsApp cart — customers build an order on their phone and send it as a formatted message. HTML/CSS/JS, deployed on Netlify. Tools I work with: n8n (self-hosted), Make, Zapier, WhatsApp API (Green API), Notion API, Apify, OpenAI and Claude APIs, REST APIs and webhooks. Python, Flask, SQLite and HTML/CSS/JavaScript when a workflow needs real logic or storage behind it rather than a longer chain of nodes. If your business runs on a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet someone updates by hand — hospitality, logistics, e-commerce, or any operation with people and tasks to coordinate — that's the problem I solve. Happy to talk through what you're dealing with.

I'm a brand growth specialist and content strategist with 9+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and exiting consumer brands, including two businesses I founded and sold. I work with ecommerce and service-based businesses to grow their online presence through content that actually converts. That means social media strategy and management, UGC creation, short-form video scripting and editing, email marketing via Klaviyo, and Shopify store builds, all under one roof. I've managed full-scale social media accounts across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook, producing everything from carousels and reels to scripted UGC videos for brands in tech, fashion, luxury ecommerce, and medical education. I understand how to build content ecosystems that support the full customer journey, not just one-off posts. On the email side, I've built and managed Klaviyo flows end-to-end covering welcome sequences, abandoned cart, post-purchase, and re-engagement, with a focus on design that feels on-brand and not generic. What makes me different is that I've been the founder, the marketer, and the operator at the same time. I know what it actually takes to grow a brand from zero, which means I bring strategic thinking to every execution decision. Based in New Zealand. Available for ongoing retainers and project-based work.
