Technical sales and business development Portland, OR

I sell technology
I can take apart.

Electronics engineer turned sales professional. For 10+ years I've helped companies adopt IT, SaaS, and AI solutions that actually fit — because I understand the stack from the circuit board to the contract.

Years in technical sales

From silicon to strategy

Most salespeople learn the pitch. I learned the product first. I trained as an electronics and communication engineer, spent years in presales answering million-dollar RFPs line by line, and am completing a hands-on microelectronics program, because I believe the best advisors understand technology from the fabrication level up.

That foundation is why my clients trust the recommendation, not just the demo. Across telco infrastructure, board-management SaaS, AI-driven ad bidding, and enterprise content management, my job has been the same: bridge what a business needs with the technology that actually delivers it, without costly, misaligned investments.

Today I lead go-to-market at FLYONIT, helping Pacific Northwest businesses with managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services. On the side I build and ship: an HR document assistant, two community platforms, and a pair of mobile games, all live. If your technology is holding you back instead of driving you forward, let's talk.

AI Implementation & Automation

Practical AI, not hype. I identify the repetitive work eating your team's hours — data entry, reporting, follow-ups, document handling — and replace it with AI assistants and automated workflows that pay for themselves.

CRM Selection & Optimization

A CRM should drive revenue, not collect dust. From choosing the right platform to building pipelines, automations, and reporting your team actually uses — set up by someone who has lived inside sales pipelines for a decade.

Website Design & Modernization

Fast, modern, mobile-first websites — built new or rebuilt from an aging design. Clean code, clear messaging, and a site that turns visitors into inquiries instead of quietly losing them.
