Ex-ops manager. Now independent. Occasionally opinionated about tools.
I ran operations for a 60-person software company for six years. My job was to make the org actually function — which meant a lot of time figuring out why things were slow, where work was disappearing, and why smart people kept reinventing wheels they'd already invented.
In 2022, I left to go independent. I took a few consulting gigs, did some interim ops work, and spent a lot of time thinking about what had actually made the difference in high-functioning teams vs. ones that churned through effort without shipping much.
The answer, consistently: systems. Specifically, the absence of them.
Most solo workers and small teams spend enormous energy on things that should be automated, templated, or simply decided once. They context-switch constantly. They rebuild the same thing from scratch for every client. They have tools that don't talk to each other and a Notion setup that made sense in 2021 but now nobody touches.
WorkQuiet is what I built to share what I'd learned — and keep learning.
Transparency matters. Here's how WorkQuiet earns revenue:
I don't do paid reviews, "sponsored content" dressed up as editorial, or pay-to-rank tool lists. If I've given something a bad rating, a company couldn't have paid me to change it.
I take occasional consulting engagements — ops strategy, workflow audits, async communication overhauls. If your team is drowning in process and not sure why, that's my wheelhouse. Reach out via the contact link below.
