Hi, I'm Safkat.
Operations is my sport.

I'm an AI-enabled operations & systems leader who turns chaotic, manual processes into things that actually scale. Currently Client Success Manager at Stacked Commerce, and open to AI-enabled ops leadership roles — and yes, I'm still a Manchester United fan. (We don't talk about the last few seasons.)

01 — Who I Am

More than a job title.

I was born and brought up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Moved to Sydney, Australia in January 2016 and spent five years there before relocating to Toronto in 2021 — which has been home ever since. Three countries, one consistent thread: figuring out how to make operations work better than I found them.

Professionally, I'm an AI-enabled operations leader. I obsess over broken workflows, missing reporting layers, and the kinds of systemic problems that quietly bleed revenue while everyone assumes someone else is handling it. I've led teams of 30, managed high-volume marketplace channels, and built reconciliation systems that turned 80% backlogs into clean pipelines.

Lately I've been going deeper into workflow automation and AI-assisted operations — not as a talking point, but as actual infrastructure. The kind that makes an ops team genuinely more capable, not just busier with different tools.

02 — How I Work

The way I approach things.

01
Root cause first, always

I don't patch symptoms. When something's broken, I trace it upstream until I find where it actually started. That might take longer on day one — but it means the fix actually sticks. Most "new" problems I see are old ones that got a band-aid and came back bigger.

02
Calm is a strategy

High-pressure environments are where I do some of my best thinking. I came up managing high-volume operations where things went wrong constantly and at scale. The trick isn't to not feel the pressure — it's to not let it change how clearly you see the problem.

03
Systems over heroics

A great op shouldn't depend on one great person showing up every day. I build processes and reporting structures that work when I'm not in the room — because that's what actually scales. If a system requires constant heroics to function, it's not a system. It's a dependency.

04
AI as infrastructure, not decoration

I'm not here to sprinkle AI on top of things and call it transformation. I use it to actually reduce manual work, speed up analysis, and make operations teams more capable. The measure is always: does the output improve? If not, the tool is wrong or the implementation is.

05
Direct and honest, even when it's awkward

I'd rather surface a hard truth early than let a bad situation compound quietly. I'm not confrontational — but I'm also not the person who says everything is fine when it isn't. Leaders make better decisions with accurate information, and I think it's my job to provide that.
