I kept running into the same problems. Eventually I started building around them.

Still in it. Documenting as I go.

Ops by training. Builder by necessity. Five apps live.

Vina

Four years running payment support operations. Coaching teams. Building the frameworks. Closing the gaps between what the process says and what’s actually happening on the floor.

At some point I stopped waiting for someone else to build the tools I kept needing. Five apps later, all live, all solving problems I’d already run into more than once.

I’m not a developer by training. I’m an ops person who learned to build because the alternative was explaining the same gap for the fifth time.

Work

Five apps. All live. All built from problems I kept running into.

Not side projects. Actual gaps that needed filling.

How I Work

01

Diagnose first

I don't touch the process until I know what's actually broken. It's usually not what got reported.

02

Build to fit

No templates. If the system doesn't match how the work actually moves, it won't get used.

03

Document while building

Everything gets written down as it gets built. Not after. The paper trail is part of the build.

Experience

Nine years of ops. Four of them in management.

The builds came from inside this.
