R&D lab for publishers experimenting with generative AI

Authentic and enthusiastic product leader with a proven track record of taking products from idea stage to millions in sales.

Currently in discovery mode, looking for my next adventure in ML/AI. Feeling blessed to be an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at my hometown university, where I can give back to the local startup community.

Previously co-founded a B2B SaaS company, where I envisioned and built a marketing technology product from mock-up to its first million in revenue in less than 12 months. I grew that startup until it was acquired by a strategic buyer, where I led product development for its ABM division.

My success stems from these principles:
* Persistently focus on ambitious goals. 
* Be a doer and inspire others into action by leading from the front. 
* Deplore and trim inefficiency in all things. 
* Communicate persuasively. 
* Prepare for interactions, never "wing it."
* Be calm in turbulent environments.

I turn complex, chaotic data into clarity - aligning business goals, technology, and people so everyone can finally make decisions they trust.

I’ve worn a lot of hats across my career - analyst, data architect, engineer, consultant, and leader - but the common thread is simple: 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

I thrive in environments where I can 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅, 𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒛𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓 - whether that’s modeling data for analytics, streamlining pipelines, or designing architecture that scales. I’m as comfortable in SQL and ETL as I am in the boardroom translating outcomes.

What sets me apart isn’t just my technical skillset - it’s my full-lifecycle perspective. I’ve led projects from discovery through deployment, mentoring teams while still writing the code, tuning the queries, and testing the results myself.

💡 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬:
☑️Data modeling, ETL design, and performance tuning (SQL Server, SSIS, Azure)
☑️BI development and visualization (Power BI, SSRS, dashboard design)
☑️Cloud data modernization, integration, and architecture
☑️Translating business needs into actionable technical requirements
☑️Coaching teams to improve data literacy and delivery

Whether the need is 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔-𝒐𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, I bring both strategy and execution - the “coach-player” mentality that keeps teams moving and projects delivered.

If your organization is looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves, own the data lifecycle, and help you finish strong - I’d love to connect.
