AI-Powered Facilitation Board

L'Oréal Luxe

Redesigned a manual facilitation activity using prompt engineering. The board generates in real time from participant responses — converting 50 minutes of categorisation into 20 minutes of critical thinking and 30 minutes of human storytelling. Built end-to-end: stakeholder alignment, seminar workflow design, test sessions, video tutorials, documentation. Teams run it without me.

Learning Analytics Automation

L'Oréal Luxe

Our learning data lived across multiple fragmented sources — messy, manual, and time-consuming. Built an automated dashboard using AI and Excel VBA. Raw data in, structured metrics out — completion rates, NPS, cost per session, BU distribution. Saves ~9 hours per team per quarter. Trained two teams, documented everything, live and in use.

Job Search Automation

An AI-powered job search automation agent that scrapes LinkedIn daily, scores job listings against your profile using Claude AI, and delivers a ranked digest to your inbox every morning.

Built with n8n, Apify, Anthropic Claude, Google Sheets, and Gmail.

Testimonials

Myriam Azema

Global People & Development Learning Manager

L'Oréal Luxe

Her learning agility has been outstanding and her capacity to deliver high quality material for seminars has been instrumental to the success of the events. She displayed an entrepreneurial spirit by automating the programme data analysis and helping the whole team beyond her scope. I fully recommend her.

Lucas Silva Edwards

She identified opportunities for improvement, notably by creating an Excel dashboard to automate training reporting. This significantly streamlined our ways of working, saving the team one day of manual work with just one click.

L'Oréal Luxe

She has a very noticeable and effective presence both during remote and live events, showing ease in her relationships with all facilitators and participants. She has the ability to facilitate large groups without showing any stress, responding effectively to complex situations.

Narayan Tendulkar

Group Product Manager

Meesho

Surmai already operates as a Product Manager. She has shown this through her leadership in navigating engineering, product and design teams, and her business acumen in understanding what is best for users and the company. She was primed to be fast-tracked to a PM role by Meesho leadership.

Twisa Pal

Product Manager

Meesho

Surmai evolved to independently lead projects in high pressure environments with limited guidance. She collaborated across engineering, data science, design and business, displayed impeccable prioritisation skills, and was appreciated in larger forums for her contributions.

Shrishti Kathole

Product Manager

Meesho

She showcased an impressive ability to grasp complex concepts swiftly and execute tasks with precision. One thing that stands out about Surmai is how dedicated she is towards achieving the results expected from her. Her commitment towards work makes her a true asset for any team and organisation.
