Revenue Operations and IT systems administrator. I learn new stacks fast, document as I go, and keep systems healthy when the pressure is on.

REVENUE OPS · IT & SYSTEMS ADMIN · AUTOMATION & ENABLEMENT

Summary

Former trauma nurse turned operations and systems strategist. I pair revenue-operations and automation experience with hands-on IT and systems administration: hardening infrastructure, administering Google Workspace and Windows environments, and building automations that remove manual work. I translate frontline coordination into scalable internal systems that help teams move faster with less friction.

Technical Projects

AI Resume Builder & Job-Match Engine

A self-hosted platform that scrapes jobs, scores them against my profile, and auto-builds tailored resumes, all running on local AI.

  • Self-hosted AI, no external APIs: local LLM inference (llama.cpp) and a self-hosted embedding model power semantic matching and resume tailoring.
  • Agentic workflows: multi-step pipelines scrape and embed new roles, score them on keyword and semantic signals, then tailor each resume to the target job description.
  • Stack: Flask, PostgreSQL + pgvector for vector search, Docker, a static frontend, and self-hosted Forgejo CI.
  • Closed-loop learning: captures application outcomes to sharpen match scoring over time.

Iron Skillet — Self-Hosted AI Meal Planner

A meal-planning app that scrapes, generates, and semantically organizes recipes, every AI feature running on local models.

  • Local LLM (llama.cpp): extracts structured recipes from any URL and generates personalized weekly meal ideas as schema-validated JSON.
  • Semantic search & dedup: self-hosted nomic embeddings in pgvector (HNSW index) power "find similar" and duplicate detection across the cookbook.
  • Web-augmented retrieval: Tavily search with automatic DuckDuckGo fallback enriches AI suggestions with real recipe links.
  • Production-grade: FastAPI, Celery + Redis, timezone-aware scheduled emails, retry and timeout handling, Prometheus metrics, Docker.
