AI Operations Manager · Business Automation

Lahore, Pakistan · relocating to Dubai · available full-timeassadaligillani1@gmail.comlinkedin.com/in/assad-ali-gillanihttps://assadgillani.comgithub.com/assad-eng

Operations manager who builds the systems the operation runs on. Eleven years across field geology, US logistics, ad-tech and compliance operations. Co-founded LITSO Pixels and grew its team from 1 to 24, serving clients in 5 countries. Now run a California compliance operation remotely and deploy the automation behind it: 5 hours a week saved on logging, 9 hours a week of reporting replaced by a daily automated run.

The pattern across every move: I step into operations I don't know yet, work out how they actually run, and build what's missing.

Experience

  1. Operations Lead (remote), California environmental-compliance firm

    2025 – now

    Industrial stormwater compliance · reporting to the president, across a 12-hour time gap

    • Run back-office operations end to end: contract and insurance renewals, vendor and travel logistics, facility tracking and regulatory reporting.
    • Built a compliance email log processor (email parsing plus AI classification) that turns a shared inbox into a clean log, saving ~5 hours a week of manual entry.
    • Sequenced the 2026–27 contract audit and built a tracker covering 21 Southern California anchor groups, so no renewal or follow-up is dropped.
    • Standardised the formatting of facility compliance plans to one house template, without touching a word of their content.
  2. Founder, CompliSure

    2026 – now

    Personal venture · automated stormwater-compliance monitoring

    • Replaced ~9 hours a week of manual weather reporting (three reports) with a daily report that goes out without a single keystroke.
    • Checks rain at each facility's own coordinates across five weather models, applies the qualifying-storm rule automatically and alerts inside operating hours.
    • Locks each forecast at run time, so every report shows what was known when it went out and holds up in an audit. Built on Supabase, Postgres and Deno edge functions.
