    • Itemization pipeline: 50K+ SKUs a month into Snowflake
    • Proposals for Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's: $1M+ deals
    • Boo, my 4-agent extraction harness, replaced a $132K/yr vendor
    • Prototyped workflow tools with Design, handed them to Engineering

    Senior Product Operations Associate, Ghost

    Owned how we tracked the inventory sellers gave us: linesheets, each holding hundreds of SKUs. Built and rebuilt that system as brand partners and account managers needed it to change, from Sheets to Asana to Airtable, Series A through C. Worked with EPD along the way, testing admin changes and turning ops feedback into product fixes.

    • Built a concurrent Python scraper over a 500M+ SKU catalog
    • Packing list reconciliation: 4 hours to 5 minutes via TableFlow
    • Python image sourcing on SERPapi: days to minutes

    Technical Merchandising Associate (promoted from Assistant), Ghost

    Ran the site merchandising calendar and bi-weekly collection rollouts across 600+ active listings. Became the go-to for getting images formatted into Excel files account managers could send to buyers, then wrote Python scrapers as item and seller volume outgrew doing it by hand.

    • Bi-weekly rollouts on 600+ active listings
    • Weekly buyer conversion +3.5% in four months
