👋 Hi, I'm Jean

Profile Badge Location Status


📝 Summary

Experienced global procurement professional (15+ years) combining deep domain expertise with modern technical skills. Recent graduate of Harvard CS50 (computer science program widely reported to have low completion rates), now focused on procurement technology, Power Platform development, and AI-driven automation.

I bridge the gap between procurement operations and technology — understanding both business problems and technical solutions.


🎯 What I'm Looking For

I am actively seeking roles that combine procurement domain expertise with technology implementation:

Primary Focus:

  • Power Platform Developer (Procurement / Supply Chain automation)
  • Digital Procurement Transformation Consultant (AI & automation focus)
  • Procurement Systems Analyst (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Power Platform)
  • SAP Business Analyst (Procurement / Supply Chain modules)

Why These Roles?

I want to stay deeply connected to procurement operations while leveraging technology to solve real business challenges. My goal is to be the bridge between procurement teams and IT — someone who understands both the pain points from 15 years of hands-on experience AND the technical capabilities of modern platforms.

This unique combination is rare: most SAP consultants have never worked a day in procurement operations, and most procurement professionals can't implement technical solutions themselves.

What I Bring:

✅ 15+ years procurement operations (automotive, finance sectors)
✅ Harvard CS50 technical foundation (Python, SQL, web development)
Microsoft Power Platform: 80+ hours training, 3x "in a Day" workshops completed
AI & Automation: Copilot Studio, Power Automate RPA, agentic AI exploration
✅ Bilingual: Czech + English (fluent in international corporate environments)

Work setup:

📍 Location: Vysočina, Czech Republic | Open to Remote/Hybrid

  • 80+ hours Microsoft Learn training – 25 learning paths, 95 modules completed
  • 🔄 Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900) – Certification preparation in progress

AI & Automation (Active):

Now seeking to combine business acumen with hands-on technical capabilities in procurement technology roles.
  • 🎓 Certified by Harvard University (CS50x, CS50 Python, CS50 SQL), Microsoft (Power Platform workshops), and IT Network (Czech Ministry of Education recognized)
  • 🌱 Focused on procurement technology, Power Platform development, AI-driven automation, and digital transformation
  • 💡 Exploring agentic AI and intelligent automation for procurement workflows

🔄 Career Transition: From Global Procurement to Technology

Since childhood, I have been fascinated by technology — whether exploring computers, mastering advanced software, or modifying Android operating systems (custom ROMs), HomeAssistant usage, or AI technologies nowadays.

After 15+ years in global procurement, I realized my strongest interest lies at the intersection of business operations and technology. I was already using SQL for spend analysis, building Excel macros for automation, and designing process workflows — but lacked formal technical credentials.

Harvard CS50 and Microsoft Power Platform workshops changed that. These rigorous programs gave me a solid foundation in:

  • Programming fundamentals (C, Python, JavaScript)
  • Database design and SQL optimization
  • Web development and APIs
  • Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Copilot Studio)
  • Algorithmic thinking and problem-solving

Now I'm applying this technical foundation to procurement-specific platforms and AI applications to become a procurement technology specialist — someone who speaks both business and tech languages fluently.


🤝 Teamwork & Collaboration

  • Effective communicator in multicultural teams
  • Skilled at listening, understanding, and supporting colleagues
  • Experience leading cross-regional projects (EMEA, Americas, APAC)
  • Adaptable and proactive in dynamic environments

I thrive in team environments and enjoy discussing ideas, learning from others, and offering help wherever I can. My professional background in global purchasing taught me to truly listen to counterparts, understand their needs, and translate business requirements into clear, actionable solutions.

Currently, I work in a multicultural and cross-regional environment, regularly collaborating with colleagues from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my ability to communicate effectively, adapt to different working styles, and build consensus within international teams.

I believe these skills make me an effective communicator and collaborator, able to contribute positively to any team — whether in business or technology.
