Hey Matthew! 👋

I could have sent you a normal application. Instead, I built this.

Not because I think a website is necessary to apply for a part-time assistant role, but because after reading your description, it felt like a better way to show you how I think.

I've spent the last few years working in very different environments, but there has been a common thread through all of them:

I like figuring things out and making things move.

Earlier, I worked with creators and entrepreneurs, including Ankur Warikoo and Akshat Shrivastava, managing much of the technical side of their work. It taught me something useful about working with people who have big ideas, a lot going on, and more things in their heads than hours in the day.

Today, I work at Zapier, which is an AI automation tool. Alongside my regular work, I've become increasingly interested in using AI and automation to solve operational problems.

I randomly saw the role on Linkedin and that sounds fun. I haven't done everything on your list. I don't know IRS processes inside out, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. But I've spent enough time being dropped into unfamiliar tools, systems, and problems to know what I do when I don't know something: I figure it out.

Feedback I received

While I was on project to design a website early on in my career, I received a feedback from my manager Ankur Warikoo. He appreciated my commitment to learning and tackling new challenges, my honesty in admitting what I knew and didn’t know, and my grounded personality, which he found endearing.

However, he also encouraged me to explore my creative side, suggesting I take up UX/UI design courses to broaden my skill set. He emphasized the importance of proactive communication, urging me to provide regular updates so no one would ever need to follow up on my tasks.

This feedback gave me a new perspective to reflect on my work. The feedback email is still something I visit, I'm happy to showcase it.


Here's my recommendation letter when I was leaving that organization, I'm actually proud of the progress I made.

I'll understand the context, research what I can, use AI where it helps, move things forward, and come back to you when I actually need your input.

And ideally, once something is handed to me, it stops taking up space in your head.

That's probably the best summary of why I think this could be a good fit.

There's another reason this role stood out to me.

You're a founder. You're building things, making decisions, dealing with problems that probably don't fit neatly into a job description, and constantly figuring things out as you go.
That's an environment I want to be around.

Anyway, if you've made it this far, thanks for reading.

I also made you a video. 👋
