17 years running operations where accountability wasn't optional. I build the systems that keep teams performing and clients staying — then automate everything that slows them down.

About

The operator who
builds the systems too.

The first fourteen years were BPO floors — T-Mobile, AT&T, DIRECTV, Capital One UK, Synchrony Financial. Building accounts from the ground up, scaling to 800+ FTEs at peak, and holding the line on KPIs when the client was watching and when they weren't.

The move into EA services shifted everything from volume to precision. At Athena, I managed enterprise and VIP accounts where one poorly matched EA, one client who never learned to delegate, one missed check-in — and the relationship unravels. I built the frameworks that prevented that: the 100-Day Playbook, the FIT Assessment, dual-side coaching for both the EA and the client. Now leading operations and enablement at a US-based EA services company, applying those same systems at scale.

Alongside the people frameworks, I started building the tools and the content. ALIGN-R, an AI coaching log generator on n8n. Live KPI dashboards connected to HubSpot and Hubstaff. Automated Gmail triage workflows. And most recently, The Freelance Blueprint by GB — a fully self-paced digital academy I designed and deployed from scratch, covering 9 VA niches across 36 original modules, with a diagnostic engine, assessment system, and completion certificates. Not a career pivot — an operator who got tired of waiting for someone else to build what the work required.

Based in Tarlac, Philippines. Remote-first. Open to senior ops, L&D, and AI operations roles with US, AU, or EU-based teams.

Selected Work

Frameworks built.
Systems that shipped.

Every project below was built to solve a real operational problem. The people frameworks were designed under live client pressure. The automation builds are in active use.

Web App · Live
EA TaskBoard

Real-time shared task management built specifically for the EA-client dynamic. EAs and clients were tracking work across email threads, spreadsheets, and Slack with no single source of truth. EA TaskBoard puts both parties on the same live board from any device — with priority tracking, recurring tasks, deadline reminders, @mention comments, and a manager admin dashboard with health indicators across all workspaces. Built on vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with Firebase Firestore for real-time sync. Deployed on Vercel. Zero cost to run.
