**LinkedIn:** linkedin.com/in/[engrraphael]

> *"I don’t just complete tasks. I own outcomes. I communicate before you have to ask, and I treat your time zone like it’s my own."*

## Core Human Skills

- **Asynchronous Mastery:** Equally comfortable on Slack, Notion, or Asana. I write clear updates so you don't need a "quick sync."

- **Self-Directed Reliability:** Zero need for micromanagement. I flag risks early and deliver on schedule.

- **Empathetic Communication:** I listen for intent, not just words. I diffuse tension in text before it becomes a problem.

- **Radical Adaptability:** Switched contexts from [SureLink] to [Suredez] in [6 months] via self-study.

- **Time Zone Awareness* and *Async communication*

## Experience

**Current / Most Recent Role** *Suredez LLC]* *[11/2021]*

*Fully Remote*

- **How I ran 1:1s Asynchronously:** Built a Loom video system to replace 3 weekly meetings, saving the team 15 hours/month.

- **When things went quiet:** Noticed a client hadn't replied in 4 days. Proactively re-engaged them with a non-pushy "Hey, what's blocking this?" Unblocked a $10k deliverable.

- **The handoff:** Created a living SOP doc for my role so a teammate in

[Asia/Europe] could cover for me without a call.

- **Data I cared about:** Reduced email response time from 6hrs to 1.5hrs without working more hours (just better templates).

**Previous Role** *[SureLink LLC]* *[05/2021]*

*Fully Remote*

- **Over-communication win:** Implemented a daily "3-2-1" update (3 wins, 2 blockers, 1 priority) in Slack. Leadership copied the format company-wide.

- **Tool adoption:** Trained 6 non-technical colleagues on [Tool like Trello/Zapier/Cal.com] without IT support.

- **Culture from afar:** Started a weekly "#wins-and-wine" text thread for morale. Turnover dropped in my pod.

## Featured Remote Project

**Project Name:** *Virtual Event*

- **The setup:** Co-led a 4-person remote team across 3 time zones (EST, CET, IST) with only 2 live calls.

- **The tool stack:** Used [Clockify for time], [Notion for docs], [Slack for chat],

[Loom for async feedback].

- **The result:** Shipped [Project] 3 days early. The only crisis was a typo in a footer.

## Education & Continuous Learning

- **Degree:** [Applied Machine Intelligence][In View] from [NU]

- **Remote-specific course:** "Managing Virtual Teams" (LinkedIn Learning) /

"Deep Work" (Newport method applied daily)

- **Always learning:** Currently reading *"The Art of Gathering"* by Priya Parker to make better remote meetings.

## Tech comfort (Enough to be dangerous)

`Slack` `Zoom` `Loom` `Notion` `ClickUp` `Asana` `Trello` `Google Workspace`

`Cal.com` `Zapier (basic)` `GitHub (basic docs)`

## A Human Note

> *"I once realized my boss was overwhelmed, so I sent them a voice memo walking through a complex problem instead of a long email. They said it felt like I was sitting next to them. That's how I work—I look for the human need behind the digital screen."*
