Professional Experience

Data & Growth Consultant

The Tao of Tea — Specialty Tea Manufacturer & Wholesaler · Portland, OR · Mar 2025 — Present
  • Launched and scaled the Faire wholesale channel from zero to 35 retail accounts across 11+ states, 4×-ing monthly run rate; Top Shop status every month since launch, zero late shipments.
  • Built the supporting analytics in Python — basket analysis, RFM segmentation, cohort retention — and acted on them (a product trio in 43% of orders became a bundle strategy).
  • Secured price increases across Amazon Vendor Central and iHerb, managing both retailer relationships; onboarded TJ Maxx as a new account; own key-account promotion forecasting.
  • Designed and deployed 6 production applications using AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor) with Rust, TypeScript, React, Tauri, and Python automating operations: PO parsing, demand planning, carton-packing optimization, case labeling, packing slips, and catalog/inventory management. Cut PO processing from 40 minutes to under 2; self-initiated, in daily use by non-technical staff.
  • Completed a QuickBooks migration stalled for 11 years in two weeks, with zero disruption to operations.
  • Drafted FDA FSMA/FSVP compliance documentation and SOPs; managed concurrent cross-functional projects end-to-end — facility expansion, warehouse liquidation, a vendor-run website migration, and an email-platform migration (Mailchimp → Brevo) cutting costs 88% (~$5K/yr).

Chief of Staff (Contract)

Stealth Startup · Remote · Jan 2025 — May 2025

Appen · Remote · 2017 — 2022
  • Evaluated search results for relevance and quality for a major technology client (under NDA); 5 years of continuous renewals — early human-in-the-loop evaluation for large-scale ML systems.
