// The difference

Most developers who can build this have never worked a support queue, fought chargebacks, or managed an entire backend process. I've done all of it.

For over a decade I worked the front line of customer and technical support, then ran e-commerce customer service, fulfillment, and PayPal/Shopify disputes by hand, and managed the whole backend process end to end, long before I automated any of it. That's why what I build fits how a store actually operates, not how a developer imagines it does.

// What I build

For a DTC e-commerce brand, I designed and built a multi-agent system that runs the back office unattended, every day:

Fulfillment monitor

Catches stuck orders

Flags late or stuck shipments and follows up with suppliers automatically, before the customer has to ask.

Fraud screening

Checks every order

Screens each order for fraud signals before it ships, so the risky ones get held instead of charged back later.

AI-drafted support

Replies that learn

Drafts customer-service replies that get sharper each time a human edits one. The team stays in the loop, the queue gets faster.

Dispute tracker

Never misses a deadline

Tracks PayPal and Shopify disputes end-to-end so a response window never lapses unanswered.

Daily P&L

Straight to Slack

A daily P&L report compiled automatically and posted to Slack each morning. No one has to pull it together by hand.

// Built not to break

The difference between automation that helps and automation that starts fires: mine wouldn't double-charge or double-email a customer if a step retried, it alerted the moment something failed, and it stayed cheap to run as volume grew.

Built and run in production for a live DTC brand.

// Capabilities

Automation & Dev

Production automation that runs unattended: idempotent, self-monitoring, and cheap to scale; it won't double-charge and it alerts the moment a step fails.

AI / LLM

LLM agents that draft, screen, and decide, and sharpen with every human edit, keeping a person in the loop while the queue speeds up.

E-commerce & Payments

The back office run end to end: orders, fulfillment, fraud screening, and chargebacks won across multiple processors and currencies.

Leadership

Built and led remote teams, from a 15-person CS unit to a 70+ person operation, with hiring, coaching, and process that scales.

CRM & Support

A chaotic support inbox turned into a fast, measured queue: SOPs, QA, and escalation paths that hold up at volume.

Collaboration & Ops

Distributed teams kept aligned: clear docs, tracked work, and the daily reporting leaders actually read.
