I use process-improvement thinking, structured systems, and practical technology to improve efficiency, reduce cost, and create more reliable execution across operations.
Managed renovation execution, job costing, scope alignment, and SOP-backed follow-through across active workstreams. Maintained 25–35% project margins by tracking COGS, vendor spend, and profitability across concurrent sites in live job-costing models.
Built a custom vendor CRM that automatically creates company and contact records from a single form submission, with Power Automate flows that update compliance status, flip approval gates, and send expiration reminders without manual oversight.
Deployed the Envoy Visitor Management System across three offices, reclaiming 45+ admin hours weekly and achieving 100% NDA compliance. Supported workplace rollouts, vendor installations, and R&D facility build-out coordination across physical and technology infrastructure.
Applied DMAIC methodology to audit IT and telecom spend, delivering $56,600+ in documented annualized savings. Used Microsoft 365, Power Automate, and governance controls to reduce risk, automate compliance workflows, and make day-to-day execution more reliable.
Featured System
Separate company and contact records keep onboarding, approvals, and reminders running from cleaner source data.
Credential status updates the operating record and flips Approved to Work automatically when a required item expires.
One intake form builds the records, expiring credentials trigger email reminders, and reminder-state fields block duplicate sends.
Job-by-job ratings roll into company history so future sourcing decisions use documented performance instead of memory.
