I help digital agencies, tech teams, and scaling startups run better, clearer priorities, smoother collaboration, and delivery that actually lands. I'm a freelance project manager and operations consultant based in Lisbon, working remotely with clients across Germany and Europe. Over 8 years I've led cross-functional teams across agency, SaaS, and platform environments, including the Thomann Group ecosystem. What I typically get brought in for: — Taking over or untangling projects that have lost structure — Setting up PM workflows, rituals, and documentation from scratch (Jira, Awork, Trello, ClickUp - I adapt to your stack) — Running team workshops and retros that surface the real problems — Coordinating between creatives, developers, and stakeholders so everyone moves in the same direction — Fractional PM/Ops support for founders who need senior help without a full-time hire I work in English and German (native both). I'm direct, structured, and people-first. I don't just manage tasks, I improve how your team works together. Typical engagements: 2–4 week sprints, ongoing fractional support, or one-off workshops.

I help businesses automate their workflows and create content more efficiently through AI video generation and intelligent automation systems. Over the past year, I've been working extensively with AI video tools like Kling, Google VEO, SeedDance, and Midjourney to produce training videos, commercials, and marketing content. What I've learned is that when you combine these AI video generation capabilities with proper automation workflows, you can dramatically reduce the time spent on content creation while maintaining quality. My background is in workflow automation using platforms like Make.com, n8n, and Microsoft Power Automate. I integrate these with AI tools - OpenAI, Claude, OCR APIs - to create systems that handle repetitive tasks automatically. The goal is always to work with your existing tools and processes, not replace them entirely. I am new to Upwork, but not new to AI systems. Most of my clients see measurable results: they typically save 15-20 hours per week on manual tasks, and I've helped reduce operational workloads by 70% in some cases while cutting costs by around 40%. These aren't overnight transformations - they come from systematically identifying bottlenecks and implementing targeted automation solutions. My services include: -AI video production workflows for training and commercial content -Automated content creation systems that handle video, audio, and visual content -Sales pipeline automation with AI integration -Customer journey automation -Custom API integrations and system connections -Process documentation and optimization I focus on practical solutions that deliver ROI. If you're spending too much time on repetitive tasks or manual content creation, I can probably help you automate those processes and free up time for more strategic work. Happy to discuss your specific situation and see if automation makes sense for your business.
