About

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 currently completing a microelectronics program — because I believe the best advisors understand technology from 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 business development at FLYONIT, helping Pacific Northwest businesses with managed IT, cybersecurity, and cloud services. 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.
