01About

I spent ten years carrying enterprise SaaS quotas before I ever shipped a line of production code, closing seven-figure deals, writing the playbooks other reps ran on, and translating dense technical capability into business value for executives. Somewhere in that work I got more interested in how the product worked than in selling it, so I rebuilt myself as an engineer.

Today I build production web applications end-to-end: schema design, API layers, authentication, and the pixels a user actually clicks. I'm comfortable owning a feature from ideation through deployment, and the sales background still shows up: I scope well, I communicate with non-technical stakeholders without losing precision, and I care whether the thing actually ships.
