Systems-Thinking Operations & Automation for Small Remote Teams | Bilingual EN/ES

I give small remote teams back their week. The lens behind all of it is systems thinking.

Eleven years as a massage therapist taught me to read systems. Where the tension is. What needs support. How the parts connect.

The shoulder that's actually a hip problem. The headache that starts in the jaw. The back pain that's really about stress.

Same principle applies to operations. The slow report that's actually a data problem. The bottleneck that everyone works around. The manual process no one questions because "that's how we've always done it."

What I Do Now

I build automations for teams drowning in manual work.

Google Workspace workflows. Data pipelines. AI integrations. The systems that turn "four hours every Monday" into "it just happens."

Core philosophy: analyze what teams need, identify gaps, build solutions that empower colleagues to excel at their highest-value work.

The goal is always to make myself unnecessary. Build systems that empower teams, not create dependencies.

The Numbers

  • 10,000+ lines of production code deployed
  • 250+ hours/year saved
  • 46→62% profitability turnaround
  • 60% onboarding-time reduction
  • 200+ users enabled
  • 11 years in bodywork and wellness
  • 4 AI agents running in production

The Path Here

I've had an owner's mentality right out of high school — jumped into massage school at 18 and have been reading where systems bind ever since.

That mentality led to an abundance of business operations and strategy opportunities across wellness, startups, supply chain, sales ops, and field operations.

The earliest version of this work lived on a massage table, reading a body for the chain of compensation. Same skill, different scale.

Now the niche is systems-thinking operations and automation for small remote teams. Same lens. Map the tension, find where the handoff broke, repair the connection so the work flows again.

Celestium - Astrology for where & when: astrocartography, natal charts, and made-for-you readings. Now on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

SAVANT - My personal AI assistant system. The lab where I test ideas before turning them into products.

Writing

I also write. The newsletter is called With Jhi — personal essays about building a life on purpose. Systems and soul, spreadsheets and surrender. The stuff that doesn't fit on a portfolio site but shapes everything I build.
