Demonstrated Impact
I have consistently driven measurable results through strategic cost optimization, operational streamlining, and decisive leadership. My work has enabled SaaS businesses to reduce expenses, maximize efficiency, and achieve sustainable growth.
Decisive Team Management
I have directed critical staffing decisions that optimized team structure for peak periods and downturns alike. This included both scaling up and strategically downsizing, ensuring the team's alignment with our long-term goals.
Strategic Procurement at FlexiSign
While developing FlexiSign, I eliminated the need for an in-house backend stack, which would have cost $25,000 initially and $3,000 monthly to maintain. By outsourcing this aspect and employing strategic vendor negotiations, we reduced the total monthly costs to only $350, achieving significant savings in development and operational expenses.
AWS Migration and Cost Optimization
I led the migration of hosting infrastructure from Vultr and Digital Ocean to AWS, engaging in strategic discussions with the AWS team to secure funding for the migration and additional credits. Despite being a bootstrapped company, this approach reduced server costs by 75%, enabling significant operational savings.
Jira to Notion Migration
We transitioned from Jira to Notion as part of a strategic shift to a more modern, flexible, and cost-effective system. This migration not only improved collaboration and streamlined sprint management but also allowed us to onboard vendors seamlessly onto our sprint system, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
