I build AI-enabled internal tools & systems that help teams move faster.
Sales Ops by title, Systems Builder by craft. I prototype, automate, and scale solutions that remove friction across marketing, sales, design, and ops.
Featured Project
Semantic Visual Search for Creative Teams
Replaced chaotic Dropbox searches with a semantic, vibe-based search experience for 100k+ design assets.

🧠 What I Learned
Impact of AI-powered search infrastructure on team productivity: embedding models, vector databases, and scalable systems that eliminate asset discovery friction
✅ Outcome
Validated → scaled → became daily workflow
What I Build
Work Projects
AI Email Triage Assistant
Saves ~160 hours per month by automating email classification and routing assignment for sales and account teams.
Stack: n8n · OpenAI · Front API · JavaScript
Sample Hub (Front Plugin)
A human-in-the-loop workflow that streamlines sample requests directly from Front. Uses AI to interpret conversation context and pre-fill structured data, while keeping final review and execution explicitly human-controlled. Creates HubSpot sample records in seconds without breaking flow.
Stack: Next.js · React · TypeScript · Front Plugin SDK · HubSpot API · OpenAI
AI Sales Intelligence Engine
Built a mini Snowflake-style data warehouse and ETL pipeline in n8n that extracts BANT fields and product interests from Front emails, structures them for analysis, and enables teammates to query insights through an AI agent.

About Me
I bridge the gap between operations and engineering.
Every company has craft. AI scales it. The future belongs to organizations where employees capture their expertise and distribute it across the company. Teams that marry craft and code will define the next frontier.
I'm most energized when I can shadow a teammate in their natural workflow, spot the friction they've learned to ignore, and ship a tool that removes it.
By title, I'm a Sales Operations Manager, but I've been building tech for over a decade. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Economics & Business, completed UT's full-stack web development bootcamp, and spent 13 years in startups across multiple industries, shipping products like a top-grossing #13 U.S. Health & Fitness app.
Today, I'm focused on building tools that multiply people: internal search systems, triage assistants, and micro-apps that remove bottlenecks.
I use AI pair-programming, rapid prototyping, and modern cloud tooling to turn ideas into working systems fast. Whether I'm using Python or TypeScript, building in AWS or GCP, I rely on agents, observability, and iteration over perfection.
By prioritizing revealed behavior over stated needs, I ensure I'm building for the 20% of signals that drive 80% of the results. This prevents "feature bloat" and ensures the tools I build actually stick.
My goal: build leverage. Tools that make 10 people 10× faster.
Approach / Philosophy
How I think about building internal tools
| Step | What I Do | Mindset |
|---|---|---|
|
1️⃣
Discover
|
Shadow workflows; find the gap between what people say and do. | Behavior > Talk |
|
2️⃣
Prototype
|
Build a 48-hour "vibe check" using real data. | State-it-back test |
|
3️⃣
Validate
|
Track adoption; ensure humans stay in the loop for one-way doors. | Judgment > Automation |
|
4️⃣
Scale or Kill
|
Double-down or move on; never automate a broken process. | Leverage or nothing |
