Current Role
Business Operations & Systems Lead
Discipline
Program & Production Operations

I build order in messy environments. I step into unclear, underbuilt, or broken functions, design the systems that make teams more effective, and push execution through until the work actually runs. At Panoptyc, I ran the program that took a physical AI detection product from R&D through deployment of fifty-plus units in six months, owning the schedule, leading the team, and handling parts sourcing — work that contributed to orders for more than two thousand additional units.

I am the person teams pull in when important work has no clean owner.

I do my best work when delivery is stuck, ownership is fuzzy, and the system behind the work is breaking down. My focus is less pure sales and more making the machine run.

That has meant stepping into unclear functions, rebuilding broken workflows, adding AI-assisted operating systems, and creating the structure needed to make teams execute faster.

I am looking for operations roles at companies building technology warfighters actually use in the field. Program schedule, deployment, sourcing, and the operating systems behind delivery are where I do the most useful work. I am a U.S. citizen based in New York City.

Selected Systems

Three of the workflows behind the growth work: finding a reason to reach out, finding a credible way in, and coordinating specialist agents without letting them run independently. Each one still has a person at the approval point.

01 · Signal-to-Opportunity Engine

Operating with manual steps

Most outbound prospecting starts with a list rather than a timely, credible reason to reach out.

Competitor activity, hiring, industry developments, and trade shows create a timely reason to look.

Poor-fit companies are discarded. They do not continue into outreach.

Poor-fit company

A poor fit leaves the path here.

An existing opportunity is routed to its owner instead of opened again.

Existing opportunity

Existing opportunities go to the owner.

Qualification uses the situation, not a generic profile.

The system looks for a credible way in before recommending an approach.

Introduction, contextual outreach, or stop — depending on the evidence.

Credible warm connection

A credible warm connection is recommended as an introduction.

No warm connection, credible context

Contextual outreach can be considered when the context is credible and no warm path exists.

Insufficient evidence

Thin evidence means more research, or a stop. It does not become outreach by default.

A person reviews the approach before outreach is prepared.

Outreach is prepared after review. Sending stays with a person.

02 · Warm Introduction Intelligence

Operating with manual steps

Traditional prospect research identifies people but often fails to find a credible way to reach them.

The work starts from a specific person, not a company name alone.

Research looks for a real professional relationship that could support an introduction.

Sources are former colleagues, board relationships, associations, consultants, and vendors.

Only evidenced external paths continue. Invented relationships and generic LinkedIn mutuals are not routes.

Unverified or weak

Unverified or weak connections are rejected.

Credible routes are ranked by evidence, then written into a short brief.

A concise brief is prepared for a person to decide on.

A person decides whether to pursue the introduction. The system does not ask for it.

06 · Multi-Agent GTM Orchestration

Operating with manual steps

Multiple AI agents working independently create noise, duplicated work, inconsistent priorities, and unnecessary cost.

Work starts from a business goal or a scheduled task.

The coordinator selects one specialist function instead of letting agents run independently.

Signals and external developments, selected by the coordinator.

Evidenced relationship and introduction research.

Account context and qualification research.

Prepares outreach. Does not send it.

Watches open commitments and whether follow-up is due.

Flags CRM and pipeline issues. Does not auto-correct the CRM.

Targeting constraints and an operating budget limit the work. A person prioritizes it. External customer communications require approval.

  • Schedule Business goal or scheduled task.
  • Budget Operating budget limits dispatched work.
  • Guardrail Targeting constraints narrow the work.
  • Approval Customer communications wait for a person.

Recommendations are surfaced for a person. External customer communications require approval.
