Give me your tired old negatives, your poor quality images, your huddled masses of wedding pictures yearning to be culled, the wretched problem photographs of your cramped hard drive. Send these, the faded, the water damaged prints, to me: I lift my glowing screen beside the golden desk. A detail-oriented, professional creative with a passion for helping good photographs become perfect images. Using AI when appropriate along with my extensive toolkit from my 15 years of experience editing photos professionally, I am always ready for a new challenge to sharpen my skills with.

If you’re a busy coach, creator, or small business owner struggling to scale without burning out, I build AI systems that automate your business, save hours, and reduce hiring costs. Recent wins: * Automated content repurposing for creators with 10K+ followers, increasing reach by 30%. * Built an automated testimonial system for a coach, saving $1K+ per month in manual posting. * Developed AI content workflows that save me 10+ hours per week and increase reach by 25%. I’ve built automations for Top US graduate business school , YC-backed startups, and Silicon Valley companies, supported by 15 years of experience. 💡 I know being solo is hard. I’ve been doing it since 2019. When I became a content creator in 2022, I truly felt the struggle. In 2019, I left the traditional tech world to build my own products while continuing to help Top US graduate business school and Silicon Valley startups automate workflows. My desire to create something meaningful pushed me beyond software; I wanted to make an impact. By 2022, after multiple product attempts, I turned to content creation. I built a podcast, blog, and online community. The podcast became a top-200 business show in Taiwan. I grew an audience of 3,000+ and published 80+ articles. I quickly realized a harsh reality: creators, coaches, and educators do everything themselves, from repurposing content to managing client workflows. There were too many moving pieces, too many platforms, and too many chances for mistakes. I burned out multiple times, but I didn’t stop. Instead, I built AI-driven systems that let me focus on what truly matters: creating high-value content. Now I help others do the same: * Content-repurposing automation—keeping 10K+ follower creators visible across platforms and attracting more clients. * Automated testimonial systems—eliminating manual posting for coaches and boosting client trust. * AI-powered content workflows—saving hours each week while increasing audience reach. Interested in automating your business and saving hours of manual work? Send me a message, and let’s discuss how my AI-automation expertise can accelerate your growth.
