I help companies build two of their most critical systems: their teams and their supply chains. For over ten years, I've been the HR person companies call to set up their people operations from scratch hiring, payroll, policies, you name it. At the same time, I’ve built a parallel career as a sourcing agent, managing the entire buying process from China for all sorts of products. So here’s what that means for you: If you need a new software developer, I can find them. If you need custom packaging from Shenzhen, I can source that, too. I understand how the pieces of a business fit together, from the people inside it to the products it sells. Here’s a snapshot of what I do: Finding People: Full-cycle recruitment, global hiring, and building talent processes. Running HR: Setting up payroll, HR software, handbooks, and handling day-to-day operations. Finding Products: Sourcing, supplier negotiation, quality control, and managing the complete procurement cycle from China. If you're looking for someone who can handle the "who" and the "what" to help your business grow, let's talk.

If your brand is growing, backend issues get expensive fast. Stockouts, supplier delays, 3PL mistakes, and poor follow-through can quietly eat your profit margins and slow down scaling. I help 6-to-7 figure/ 7-to-8 figure Shopify brands keep operations tight across suppliers, inventory, and fulfillment. My biggest advantage? I am your boots on the ground. Based in China and Korea, I work in the exact same time zone as your suppliers and factories. I speak their language, push things forward when details start slipping, and can go on-site to handle sampling, production, and pre-shipment checks. Here is how I protect your margins and keep things moving: Supplier & Production Management: • Supplier coordination, negotiation, and daily follow-through • Sampling revisions and strict production tracking • Native-level factory communication (eliminating language & cultural barriers) • Pre-shipment quality checks and on-site factory visits when needed Inventory & Fulfillment Optimization: • Inventory planning and accurate replenishment forecasting • 3PL coordination, shipping issue resolution, and fulfillment troubleshooting • Day-to-day execution across thousands of SKUs Over the past 8+ years, I’ve supported US, EU, and Korean brands across sourcing and daily operations. My role is simple: catch problems early, keep things moving, and make sure execution doesn’t fall apart behind the scenes. Most clients keep me on a monthly retainer because once operations get messy, growth stops. If you are tired of dealing with factory delays or messy 3PLs, let’s schedule a quick chat to see how we can streamline your backend.

In the age of AI, anyone can find a list of suppliers in seconds. But finding a factory that actually delivers what they promise—without hidden technical risks—is harder than ever. I bridge the gap between online data and what’s actually happening on the factory floor. Why Work With Me? I bring over a decade of "boots-on-the-ground" experience in complex machinery and electronics. I don’t just "middleman" deals; I use my engineering background and ISO quality standards to vet suppliers through a technical lens. I speak the language of engineers and the language of business, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation. I currently operate my own sourcing firm, providing professional-grade infrastructure for clients who need more than just a basic agent. How I Deliver Value: * Smart Sourcing & Factory Matchmaking: I combine AI market tools with my own technical database to match you with the exact right manufacturers. I don’t just look at prices; I evaluate their technical limits, specialized equipment, and alignment with your specific project requirements (e.g., dedicated production lines). * Technical Risk Control: I catch the "red flags" that standard sourcing agents miss—long before the deposit is paid. * Engineering Insights: Expert in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback, cost breakdowns, and resolving complex technical discrepancies across global trade environments. * End-to-End Execution: From supplier qualification and factory audits to final quality inspections and shipping logistics. I bring structured thinking, bilingual precision, and a "zero-compromise" attitude toward quality. My goal is to protect your investment and ensure your supply chain runs like a well-oiled machine.
