GTM veteran turned AI engineer. I spent a decade in business development, partnerships, and growth at high-velocity startups — then taught myself to code and never looked back. Now I build agentic systems, ship fast, and bridge the gap between what engineers create and what users need.
My career started about as far from a terminal as you can get: waiting tables at Cody's Roadhouse, hustling for tips and learning how to read people. From there I pitched my way into creating a social media manager role at a local taco shop, interned at SOCOM researching how criminal organizations leverage crypto, and eventually found my way into the blockchain industry before most people had heard the word.
At Pocket Network, I grew from digital marketing manager to senior sales executive over four years. I onboarded chains like Fantom, NEAR, and Gnosis — driving billions of API requests through creative partnership strategies. My Dark Forest tournament sponsorship turned a $700 budget into hundreds of millions of relays and ~$250K in node operator income. I learned to think in systems, in incentives, in growth loops.
In 2023, I taught myself to code. Started with Cursor before most people knew it existed. By 2025, I was hand-selected for the Gauntlet AI Fellowship out of thousands of applicants — putting in ~100 hour weeks shipping AI-powered applications, agentic systems, and full-stack products. I scored in the top 2% on the cognitive assessment.
Today I build at the intersection of product thinking and engineering execution — the rare person who can architect a coding agent, write the marketing copy for it, and explain why it matters to a customer, an investor, or a developer audience.
I'm looking for Developer Relations and AI engineering roles where GTM instinct meets technical execution.
Open to conversations about startups, developer tools, and agentic systems.
