## About

```text
At Nexxis, I served as a consultative partner, matching clients with robotic and NDT equipment solutions. I helped generate a near 50% increase in revenue within 10 months over the whole team’s prior year total.

At ARIX Technologies, I introduced robotic process-piping inspection to the Southeast U.S. while supporting national accounts. I developed new accounts, advanced projects, and helped shape leasing and annual RaaS pricing options for inspection partners.

At Invert Robotics, I introduced robotic inspection technology to the North American market and expanded its reach into chemicals, clean energy, aerospace, and energy. I also recruited, mentored, and guided sales and technical talent.

Earlier, at Oceaneering International, I developed NDT and mechanical-integrity training and instructed technicians in inspection methods. My field inspection experience included UT and RT inspections, following API 510 and API 570 guidelines.
