Open to remote roles: Content Operations · CRM & Workflow Automation · Client Onboarding & Support.
12 years running a 3,000+ event photography business — then I built the content, CRM and client-care systems that now run it. Three role routes below, each with proof you can check and its own résumé.

How I work
I find expensive repetitive work → build AI systems → test them until they're reliable → ship them → measure the business result.
Engineering discipline
The machine is only half the story. Before I call anything done, I document how it fails — failure modes, provenance, quality checks.
How I hunt failure modes in a production AI pipeline — 300+ automated tests, 40+ named failure gates, and what the machine got wrong.

I spent 12 years operating a real event business. I started building systems to remove its bottlenecks — and those systems became the portfolio you just read. Today the business runs day to day on those systems, with a 20–30 person subcontractor team covering delivery — that's what gives me capacity for a role. I'm looking for remote work in content operations, CRM and workflow automation, or client onboarding and support: find the bottleneck, build the system, prove it works. If that's what your team needs, I'd like to talk.
