I build AI products and translate customer needs into practical B2B technology solutions.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I've built and launched NAWT, an AI-powered product, taking it from the initial problem through development, launch, and early go-to-market work.
I spoke with 40+ beta users, used feedback and competitor research to refine positioning, and redesigned three customer drop-off points to increase capture rate from 7% to 100%.
At OpenSpeechAI, I helped grow a generative AI communication platform to more than 500 paying customers. I brought insights from 30+ customer conversations into product and business decisions, including prioritizing WhatsApp integration.
At Keelworks Foundation, I align business, operations, Salesforce, and technical teams around practical solutions. I'm looking to build on my product and engineering experience in B2B technology sales and business development.
