About me

A reliable pair of hands for the work that quietly keeps a business running.

I'm a remote support professional based in Bali, with a background spanning tourism services, customer communication, and business coordination. I hold a Bachelor of Computer Science from STIKOM Bali, so I pick up new tools and systems quickly.

Detail-oriented, organised, and motivated to grow alongside the people I work with — whether that's a one-off project or long-term support. Flexible across international hours, and committed to keeping your work clean and on time.

For a US-based studio / consulting client
  • Searched LinkedIn to find founders and decision-makers matching the client's target profile, and sent connection requests to open business conversations on the client's behalf.
  • Built and maintained a 500-lead founder list sourced from accelerator and VC portfolios (Y Combinator, Techstars, Hustle Fund, Contrary, and others) — with industry, funding stage, source, and a fit note for each lead.
  • Ran a multi-channel outreach funnel across LinkedIn, email, and X (Twitter), tracking every lead through Sent → Connected → Replied → Audit Sent → Call Booked.

Context

A US-based product & design professional was running a multi-track job search across the US and Canada while building a startup. They needed someone to run the search day to day, at volume, without losing accuracy.

What I did

I own the daily pipeline: finding and verifying live roles, matching the right resume, drafting tailored cover letters and screening answers, and submitting across 8+ platforms. I built and maintain a versioned tracking system with a live status dashboard, and flag location or domain mismatches before applying so no time is wasted.

Results

161 applications logged in a clean, color-coded system, working to a target of 30 a day and 25 founder outreach messages. I also caught and fixed ATS data errors before submission — mismatched employer fields, wrong work-authorization answers — that would otherwise have auto-rejected the client.
