Expert-Vetted Upwork consultant with over $1,000,000 earned and a 99% success rate. I design and build custom operational systems that eliminate bottlenecks, enforce accountability, and scale with your business. I am also an L5 Diamond Lovable Partner, the highest ranking available on the platform. I build production-grade applications, dashboards, AI tools, CRM systems, and operational backbones using Lovable when a custom solution is the right answer. Most businesses do not need “another tool.” They need a system that actually works. What I Do I architect and implement custom operational systems across: • Project Management & Execution Systems • CRM & Revenue Operations Infrastructure • AI-Powered Workflows & Internal Tools • Chatbots & Conversational AI Agents • Reporting Dashboards & Executive Command Centers • End-to-End Business Automation Sometimes that means optimizing monday and mondayCRM, Zoho, Smartsheet, or ClickUp. Other times it means building a custom solution in Lovable with Supabase, APIs, and structured automation. I focus on building systems that: • Remove founder bottlenecks • Eliminate duplicate data entry • Enforce workflow standards • Provide real operational visibility • Scale without becoming fragile If your business depends on spreadsheets, disconnected SaaS tools, or manual oversight, we fix that. Custom Systems with Lovable As an L5 Diamond Lovable Partner, I build: • Custom CRM and ERP-style platforms • Production workflow tracking systems • AI-driven analytics engines • Lead routing and automation systems • Admin dashboards and gated portals • API-connected reporting layers • Internal operational command centers These are not prototypes. These are scalable systems designed to replace operational chaos. Platform Expertise (When Off-the-Shelf Is Right) I am certified and experienced across: mondayOS | MondayCRM | MondayDev Zoho One (CRM, Creator, Projects, Flow, Analytics) Smartsheet Wrike ClickUp Teamwork GoHighLevel Airtable Asana I integrate across Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Supabase, Twilio, Shopify, Calendly, and other major SaaS tools. Selected Credentials Zoho Authorized Partner Zoho CRM, Projects, and Creator Certified Wrike Authorized Reseller, Channel, and Deployment Partner Wrike Integrate Specialist Wrike Advanced Analytics Certified Smartsheet Silver Aligned Partner 20+ Smartsheet Certifications Monday Channel Partner Monday Master, CRM, Dev, and Product Specialist Certifications ClickUp Strategic Partner ClickUp Pro Certified Teamwork Enablement and Technology Partner Why Clients Hire Me I do not just “set up software.” I design operating systems. Clients hire me when: • Revenue workflows are leaking • Data cannot be trusted • Reporting requires manual cleanup • Founders are stuck in the weeds • Growth is outpacing infrastructure Every engagement is structured around measurable operational improvement, not feature implementation. If you are looking for someone to think strategically, architect clean systems, and build either with enterprise platforms or custom Lovable applications, we should talk.

Over the past years, I've: - Planned/revised roadmaps for 25+ software products - Created 50+ functional specifications (UML use cases, detailed requirements, user stories) - Implemented 50+ backlogs in tools like Jira / Azure DevOps / TFS / Trello, and managed releases with distributed teams - Fractional PM retainer (5–15 hrs/week): discovery, prioritization, roadmap, stakeholder alignment - MVP definition release plan - Product execution support: backlog grooming, sprint goal alignment, demo discipline, slow delivery, I'll help you define the smallest set of features that creates value - and make sure it ships. 🏠︎ 𝗜𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 & 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 | 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗠 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 What I do - Fractional delivery Leader: sprint leadership, execution rhythm, release planning, team coordination, stakeholder updates, metrics, continuous imtimeline reset, governance and reporting, "get to a shippable plan." - Execution Systems: Jira/Azure DevOps setup & cleanup, workflows, dashboards, sprint templates, Definition of Ready/Done, RAID logs. Why clients hire me - Strong technical fluency (I can speak dev/architect and business) - great for startups without a strong CTO layer. - I take full ownership: budget/time/resources/quality, not just "running meetings". - Proven impact examples: built Jira/Confluence, Azure DevOps/SharePoint corporate tooling; improved efficiency by ~25%; delivered a sports betting solution that increased customer revenue.

I help startups and teams turn messy ideas into buildable specifications. I'm a Business Analyst (Requirements Specialist) with 21+ years in the software industry, focused on translating business needs into actionable, bite-sized specs for stakeholders, developers, and testers. What I deliver: - PRDs / functional specs - User stories + acceptance criteria (Definition of Ready) - Process models (BPMN), use cases (UML), workflow diagrams - System design docs (high-level architecture, integrations, data flows) - Backlog shaping for Jiras and translating needs into specifications, and I've sketched processes/workflows (and even UIs) for 20+ apps. - Business domains and Industries: Software development, Business Registry, Public Registry, eGaming (Sportsbook), Music Industry, Digital Content Creation, ERP, and other business apps. If you want your team to move faster, reduce rework, and stop "building the wrong thing," this profile is for you. 🏠︎ 𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 I've been a developer for the first half of my career, using mainly the .NET Framework, ASP.NET, C#, and MS SQL (T-SQL).

I help founders and leadership teams tighten operations, ship products their customers actually use, and build business models that hold up in the real world. I am Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1% of talent) with a 100% Job Success score, 15+ years across operations, product and strategy leadership, and $200K+ delivered here across 30 engagements. A good part of my recent work sits where operations meets physical product: e-commerce, DTC fulfillment and supply chain. Most recently I served as interim COO of an IoT health-tech company building a connected senior-care ecosystem (a smart watch, fall-detection device, emergency response system, pill dispenser, smart door lock and blood-pressure monitor). I rebuilt operations across both hardware and software delivery, managed manufacturing and cross-border supply chain across Europe, China and the US, and pulled product, engineering, finance, hiring and vendor management into one clean operating rhythm. A few results from recent work: - Ran fulfillment and supply chain for Cerascreen, a direct-to-consumer health brand shipping physical test kits to 350,000+ customers and 200,000+ lab tests a year, keeping lab integrations, inventory and order flow in sync. - Ran four parallel workstreams for Galderma's launch of a prescription dermatology treatment, keeping the CRM, marketing automation and analytics tracks aligned to a single launch timeline. - Led the full-lifecycle launch of AI Studio, an end-to-end platform for fine-tuning and deploying large language models, taking it from a tangled backlog to a shipped product over several quarters. - Led product for an applicant tracking system at Ework Group, a Nasdaq-listed Nordic talent solutions firm, running a 15-person cross-functional team across Sweden and Poland. - Held a three-year operations engagement with Homodea, an EdTech and e-commerce business, supporting a 156,000-member learning community across 295 courses. How I help, in plain terms: Operations and Fractional COO I find what is actually slowing the business, whether it is people, process or tools, and fix it. I stand up the operating backbone most growing companies are missing: clear goals and a reporting cadence, hiring pipelines, vendor reviews and a weekly rhythm the whole team can follow. For physical-product, DTC and e-commerce businesses I also run the supply and fulfillment side, managing 3PL and logistics partners, tightening inventory and reorder flows, and keeping fulfillment SLAs and returns under control. Where work is repetitive, I automate it with low-code tools so the team stops firefighting. Product Management and Product Ownership I turn a fuzzy idea or a tangled roadmap into a prioritized, buildable plan. I own the backlog, write clean requirements and user stories, and run agile delivery so the team ships what customers need. For commerce teams that means connecting the stack so data flows cleanly between storefront, order and warehouse systems, ERP and your 3PL, instead of living in spreadsheets. I sit between stakeholders and engineering so both sides keep moving without friction. Business Model Validation and Growth Strategy Before you commit real budget to a new product, market or pivot, I stress-test the business model and surface the assumptions most likely to break the plan. When leadership is going in circles, I turn opinions into testable experiments and settle them with evidence. When growth has stalled, I rebuild the model around what works now. I have worked across SaaS, AI, health-tech, IoT, e-commerce and DTC, HR-tech, EdTech, AdTech and pharma digital launches, with founders and teams from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland and Austria. Tools I use most: Jira, Confluence, Miro, Monday, ClickUp, Make, Zapier, n8n, Process Street, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce and Claude. Fluent in English and native in German, so I am comfortable across DACH, UK, US and wider EU teams. If you need a Fractional COO to steady operations and supply chain, a senior Product Manager or Product Owner to run a roadmap, or a focused session to pressure-test a new business model, send a message and we will see if it is a fit.
