Most teams hire me when manual workflows start breaking under scale — too many tools, too much copy-paste, data that won't stay in sync. I build full-stack SaaS platforms and AI automation that make those problems go away. My recent work spans the full range. For a B2B procurement CRM, I shipped a unified inbox that merges Gmail, Slack, and WhatsApp into one threaded view, plus a Human-in-the-Loop AI quoting engine that turns messy supplier negotiations into structured, versioned PDFs. I also built a real-time IoT operations platform for an EV battery-swap network — a Next.js / React command center over Java Spring Boot microservices, tracking stations, batteries, and swap orders live at high concurrency. On the AI and automation side, I build agent pipelines and n8n workflows that parse documents, orchestrate OpenAI calls, and push results into Google Workspace, Slack, and Twilio. One example: an AI agent that reads a tender PDF, scrapes Google Maps to discover matching vendors, enriches their contact data, and launches a targeted outreach campaign — turning days of manual sourcing into minutes. The foundation comes from Alibaba and Vipshop (NYSE: VIPS), where I built Java/Spring Boot systems handling 100k+ DAU at 99.9% uptime and once cut a procurement batch process from 24+ hours to under 3. I build production-grade from day one — not something you'll have to rewrite in six months. Stack: Java/Spring Boot, Python, Node.js, Next.js, React, PostgreSQL, OpenAI/Claude APIs, RAG, n8n, AWS, Docker. I translate business goals into technical roadmaps, own delivery end to end, and keep you updated daily. If you're building something that has to work reliably at scale, let's talk.

📌Why should you hire me? I help companies improve procurement, vendor management, and business operations by bringing structure, execution, and better decision-making to complex environments. With 15+ years of experience supporting global organizations, including Google through GEP, I have led sourcing initiatives, managed supplier relationships, negotiated contracts, coordinated cross-functional projects, and supported operational improvements across international teams. My experience spans procurement, vendor management, project coordination, business operations, supplier research, process improvement, and stakeholder management. I am comfortable working across functions including Finance, Legal, HR, Operations, and Technology, helping teams move from ideas and requirements to execution and measurable outcomes. More recently, I have been integrating AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and automation platforms into research, analysis, reporting, sourcing, and operational workflows to improve productivity and decision-making. Clients value me for being proactive, reliable, organized, and able to take ownership of complex workstreams with minimal supervision.

I am a skilled negotiator and have always kept companies goals in mind when locating materials as a buyer. My responsibilities also include interviewing vendors and travel to factory sites in order to learn more about potential suppliers. I make a habit of learning more about potential suppliers prior to accepting bids, as I would like to be thoroughgoing in purchasing. Here are some reasons why I think my proven ability to optimize purchasing functions, and my talent in research and analysis will contribute vastly to the success of your company. -I have been buying for different companies for more than 5 years. -I am able to communicate effectively with all levels of staff, and adjust the communication, whether it is with upper management to peers and direct reports. -My personality makes it easy for me to negotiate deals with vendors. -Thanks to my experience as a buyer, I know how to budget and how to negotiate deals, with a sole goal of getting better quality at a lower cost.
