In every workplace I've been in, there's a system that technically exists — and a separate, informal process people actually use. The workaround is the workflow.

I study the gap between how a process is designed and how people actually move through it. Then I redesign the system around real behavior — not org-chart assumptions.

At K-Pick Trading, I turn inventory, fulfillment, finance, reporting, and e-commerce workflows into systems that teams can validate, trust, and improve safely.

Bio

I'm a System and Automation Engineer / Technical Manager at K-Pick Trading Corp. I translate day-to-day operational problems into reliable systems, then carry them from workflow discovery and requirements through architecture, development, testing, controlled release, documentation, and user support.

My main program of work is K-Pick ERP-lite, a Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL operations platform in controlled parallel validation alongside the company's existing records. Its scope spans inventory movements, marketplace imports, order management and barcode checking, returns and expiry, physical counts, purchase planning, finance views, role-based access, and operational reporting.

Alongside ERP-lite, I built a real-time dispatch system for office and packing coordination, developed KORA Telegram and local-AI automations for reports and operational support, and launched K-Pick's public B2B website and digital quotation workflow. I focus on correctness, traceability, recovery, and tools that fit the people doing the work.

What I Can Build

Process Automation

I identify manual workflows that slow your team down and build automated systems using Excel VBA, Python, or Access. The goal isn't just automation — it's building something your team will actually use.

ERP & Internal Platforms

Inventory, order, purchasing, finance, reporting, and role-based workflows designed as one traceable operational system.

Technical Management

I turn operational needs into scoped releases, coordinate priorities, review risk, document decisions, and support users after a change ships.

Reliability & Recovery

Database migrations, focused testing, backups, health checks, rollback safeguards, and recovery procedures for systems people depend on.

Data & Reporting

Operational dashboards, finance views, KPI reports, document generation, and data controls built from traceable business events.

Web & Integrations

Public websites, internal web tools, real-time interfaces, marketplace data flows, APIs, email delivery, and automation integrations.

Shopee Dispatch Display System

Operational system
Node.jsExpressSocket.IOWeb Audio APILAN deployment
Problem

Shopee Instant Delivery orders were tracked verbally or on paper. Staff had no shared view of which orders were urgent, who was handling what, or where each order stood in the packing process.

What I Built

A real-time Node.js + Socket.IO web app running on a Mac Mini, serving two browser interfaces across the office LAN. Office staff dispatch rider codes and create picklists. The packing display shows large-format order cards with audio alerts — chimes on new orders, beeps on nudges, visual flash and RUSH banner for urgent ones. Five-stage status tracking. JSON persistence through server restarts. No internet required.

Result

Office and packing staff coordinate through one shared live workflow. Status changes, notes, and urgent alerts stay synchronized, while active work survives service restarts.

K-Pick ERP-lite — Inventory & Operations Platform

Controlled parallel validation
PythonFastAPIPostgreSQLSQLAlchemyAlembicJavaScriptRole-based access
Problem

Inventory, marketplace orders, returns, purchasing, finance, and reporting were spread across manual and spreadsheet-driven workflows. The business needed stronger traceability, duplicate controls, consistent product mapping, and a safer path toward system migration.

What I Built

A FastAPI and PostgreSQL platform with a product master and unit conversion, append-only stock ledger, Shopee/Lazada/TikTok Shop imports and mappings, duplicate prevention, an order-management and barcode-checking pipeline, returns and expiry controls, physical counts, direct sales, purchase planning, finance and executive views, staff KPIs, generated reports, and configurable role permissions.

Result

ERP-lite remains in controlled parallel validation alongside the company's existing records, which remain the official reference until transition is declared. The platform provides traceable business events and is supported by migrations, focused tests, backups, health checks, and documented recovery procedures.

Operational automation

KORA Operations Automation

Reports, reminders & support
PythonTelegram Bot APIScheduled automationAPI integrationLocal AI / Ollama
Problem

Recurring operational reports, reminders, task updates, and support requests depended on manual follow-up. Automation also needed strict routing and a clear boundary between AI assistance and authoritative business data.

What I Built

A Python and Telegram automation layer for scheduled reports, reminders, task updates, monitoring, private delivery, and operational support. Local AI is used only as a bounded adviser; verified application logic and data remain authoritative, and sensitive routes are kept out of public or group output.

Result

KORA turns repeatable coordination work into concise, mobile-friendly flows while preserving access boundaries, traceability, and human control over operational decisions.
