Building high-performing teams, scalable systems, and now cloud-powered projects.

I’m a remote Program & Operations leader with a background in sales performance, call-center “nesting” programs, and coaching. I’m actively pivoting into cloud and AI, starting with hands-on AWS projects like this site.

About

I’ve spent the last several years leading remote sales teams and running a full “nesting” program — the bridge between training and production — for new call-center agents. That means balancing people, performance, and process: coaching agents and SMEs, building frameworks, and using data to actually drive improvement, not just track it.

I’m now applying that same mindset to cloud and AI. I enjoy breaking messy systems into simple flows, building playbooks, and using tools like AWS to make work more efficient and transparent. This site is my first public AWS project — hosted on S3, delivered with CloudFront, secured with ACM, and wired up to a custom domain I manage end-to-end.

Projects

AWS Static Resume Site @ stack3.tech

AWS • S3 • CloudFront • ACM • Namecheap

Built and deployed this resume site as a hands-on cloud project. The goal was to understand the full path from local development to a secure, production-ready website.

  • Configured an IAM user and AWS CLI on Linux Mint for secure, non-root access.
  • Created a public S3 bucket with static website hosting and appropriate bucket policies.
  • Requested and validated an ACM SSL certificate via DNS records on Namecheap.
  • Provisioned a CloudFront distribution in front of S3, attached the certificate, and wired it to stack3.tech.
  • Managed domain and DNS (email via Proton, DNS via Namecheap, hosting via AWS).

Nesting Performance Framework

Operations • Coaching • Analytics

Designed a structured framework for evaluating agents from training through nesting, focusing on both performance outcomes and retention.

  • Defined clear graduation criteria and performance tiers based on weighted conversion and behavior metrics.
  • Created templates for EOD summaries, 1:1 coaching, and SME expectations to standardize support.
  • Used data to identify high performers, at-risk agents, and trends in hesitation handling and call flow.

Certifications

  • CompTIA Security+ Active
  • AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) In Progress
