I study International Business at UniMAP. Outside class I run projects with real stakeholders: national competitions, campus programmes, and now document automation at Progressture Power.
I've managed 15+ funding proposals and sponsorship decks without missing a deadline, led events that reached 10,000+ participants, and built pipelines that move documents from PDF to CRM with no manual entry in between.
I'm looking for a role where I'm embedded where the work actually happens: sitting with the people who run operations, turning raw data into tools that guide real decisions, and owning the outcome from first question to working system. The settings I'm drawn to are high-stakes and data-heavy, where the people making decisions need systems they can trust in the moment they matter.

What I do as an AI and Automation Intern
My brief from the CEO on day one was to automate the company's core business processes before the internship ends. Here is what that looks like day to day.
// Daily
Build document automation pipelines
Take a PDF in, pull the relevant data out with OCR, and push a finished document or record back out. This was the first working component I shipped, and it is still the backbone of the project.
// Daily
Wire systems together through APIs
Connect the web application I built to the company CRM so a submitted document flows straight into the right record, with no manual data entry at either end.
// Regularly
Represent the company in partner integration calls
Co-led a lead funnelling session with an integration partner, then coordinated the technical build with a colleague based in India. The goal is one shared automated workflow that captures inbound leads and extracts their data with no human in the loop.
// Ongoing
Map how the business actually works
Study the Business Development team's daily, weekly and monthly routines to find the recurring tasks genuinely worth automating, so what I build fits how the team really operates rather than how I assume it does.
// Every build
Test the full flow end to end
Run the pipeline from submission through extraction to CRM and confirm the data lands correctly, rather than assuming a component works because it compiled.
// When it matters
Know when to stop and escalate
When a workflow touched commercially sensitive data, I stopped rather than deciding the confidentiality question on my own assumptions, and took it to leadership before building it in.
