- Automate repetitive business workflows by building agentic systems capable of executing multi-step, autonomous actions across multiple internal tools
- Extend existing back-office platforms (e.g., Monday.com, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Ironclad, and other SaaS tools) by building custom integrations with AI models, APIs, databases, and document repositories
- Rapidly design and deploy lightweight internal applications, web tools, and scripts when off-the-shelf software falls short

- Proven ability to rapidly prototype, iterate, and ship functional software solutions independently
- Excellent collaboration skills to translate ambiguous business requirements into practical technical solutions and train non-technical users on new tools
