Most people in tech are either sales people or builders. I'm both. And I train teams to do it too. That combination is rare, and it's exactly what companies need right now.
25+ years of sales experience, but here's what I've learned: everything is sales. Training is sales. You're selling a concept, helping someone visualize how they'll use something so it feels like a natural next step. That's the same skill whether you're closing a deal, onboarding a team, or getting buy-in on a new system. The art of selling isn't pushing. It's sharing a vision. And that's what I'm good at.
I build production applications with Claude Code, Supabase, and Vercel. Not slide decks about AI. Not demos. Working software: databases, APIs, dashboards, AI agents, image generation pipelines, and full web applications. I ship real tools that solve real business problems. This portfolio site, the systems behind it, the AI-generated creative work on it: I built all of it.
Salesforce Business Administrator certified. Decades of making complex technology click for teams who thought it was over their heads. I taught web design, then was hired to train a national CRM rollout across the US and Canada. The locations I trained became the trainers in their own markets. I won an award for it. I don't just build the system. I make sure your people can actually use it, because a tool nobody adopts is a tool that failed.
Every role I've held comes back to the same thing: understanding where someone is, and meeting them there. Whether I was training teams on CRM systems, turning around underperforming sales locations, or teaching web design, the skill was never the software. It was reading the room, building trust, and making the complex feel simple.
That's sales. That's training. They're the same muscle.
I don't study things from a distance. I dive in. When I got curious about web design, I learned HTML and CSS, enrolled at a technical college, became an assistant instructor, and ended up teaching the class. When I discovered AI through Salesforce's Einstein features three years ago, I dropped everything else and went all in. I haven't looked back.
This is just how I'm wired: learn it, build with it, then show others how to do it too.
Straight from teaching web design, I was hired to train teams on a national CRM system. I traveled across the US and Canada, teaching location after location. The result: the people I trained became the trainers in their own markets. I won an award for it.
Here's why it worked. I don't do lecture-style training where people scribble notes and miss the next three things I said. I give them tools they can always go back to, self-serve resources that are so clear they don't need me in the room anymore. That's the goal: make yourself unnecessary.
I can sense when someone isn't getting it. By their questions, by their silence, by the look on their face. And I turn on a dime when that happens. That instinct doesn't come from a manual. It comes from decades of reading rooms.
I'm not someone who just started using AI last month. I build full-stack applications using Claude Code as my development environment, Supabase for databases and authentication, and Vercel for deployment. I generate photorealistic brand assets with Gemini and Midjourney. I produce AI video content with professional cinematography standards. I design automation workflows that replace manual processes.
The work on this site, and the systems running behind it, were all built by me using these tools.
Every company is trying to figure out AI adoption. They have sales teams who can't demo AI solutions. They have engineers who can't run a discovery call. They have trainers who've never built a production AI workflow.
I do all three. I can sit in the discovery meeting, understand the client's needs, work with your engineers to scope the solution, build working prototypes, demo them persuasively, close the deal, and then train the client's team on adoption. That's the job. And I've been doing every piece of it for 25 years.
