This is not a static resume. It's an active workshop where I continuously add new market research, competitive analysis, and proof-of-concept tools. It's a real-time look into how I solve problems and create value.
I believe the most powerful solutions are born at the intersection of deep market understanding and authentic human connection. Technology is the tool, but strategic relationships and a clear value proposition are what drive sustainable growth.
This belief, rooted in my entrepreneurial background and experience scaling a family-owned enterprise, is why I focus on building more than just tech stacks; I build scalable systems for customer success.
The case studies and tools in this portfolio are direct evidence of this approach in action. Explore them to see how this framework delivers results.
These are not just projects; they are reusable frameworks that demonstrate how I approach and solve complex business challenges.
An interactive walkthrough of the end-to-end methodology I use to map complex customer challenges to tangible business value, built for a hypothetical SaaS client.
Launch Interactive Demo →A live dashboard I built to analyze a real-world B2B SaaS product (CDK's CVR), demonstrating how I conduct market research and articulate a powerful value proposition.

Co-led an initiative driving over 90% adoption for a 150-user go-to-market division at a 2,500-person SaaS company, increasing go-to-market launch velocity by 25%.
Within a 2,500-person enterprise, a 150-user go-to-market division was stalled by siloed tools and inconsistent processes across six product portfolios. This created critical visibility gaps for leadership and delayed product launches, directly impacting revenue targets.
Architected a scalable feedback system by integrating Salesforce and Qualtrics, which doubled survey response rates and created an instant alert system for customer issues.
The company struggled with a disconnected Voice of Customer (VoC) strategy. Decentralized surveys led to a low 6% response rate, and there was no reliable system to flag or act on negative customer feedback, putting key accounts at risk of churn.
As a key contributor in my family's dealership group, I helped scale operations from two to four rooftops and assisted in positioning the enterprise for a premium exit.
The dealership group faced significant operational hurdles in scaling its finance and insurance (F&I) operations. Manual, paper-based processes led to slow deal funding, compliance risks, and revenue limitations that could not support the group's growth ambitions from two to four locations.
Working alongside senior leadership, I played a key role in identifying and implementing new technologies to modernize the F&I office. My focus was on streamlining workflows to drive efficiency and revenue. This involved:
Architected an automated reporting system that provided executives with their first-ever real-time view into the health of 40+ concurrent GTM projects.
Leadership had no centralized way to track the health of a 40+ project GTM portfolio. Status updates were manual, consumed over two hours in weekly meetings, and failed to surface at-risk projects until it was too late to effectively intervene.
An engineered solution for orchestrating complex, multi-model AI inputs into a single, cohesive solution design.
