What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deliver consultative AI & SaaS solutions where I can run technical discovery, build demos that validate RAG with customer data, and partner with enterprise providers to turn workflows and ROI into successful adoption.

I’m a Solutions Consultant / Sales Engineer with nearly 20 years across mechanical seals, chemicals, pipelines, turbines, pumps, and heavy equipment. I combine deep technical credibility with hands-on discovery and demo execution so customers can validate ROI fast.

In AI & SaaS, I run technical discovery to uncover workflows, knowledge gaps, and ROI. I build NotebookLM demos that let customers test RAG with their own data, then align delivery by partnering with enterprise RAG providers.

Previously, I drove product and enablement impact as a Product Management - Specialist, automating monthly dashboards for revenue, trends, and segment performance. I also built a SharePoint knowledge hub used by 7,000–10,000 employees each month, and led a 30-person tradeshow team, exceeding the lead target by 50%.

Earlier roles strengthened my consultative craft: I worked as an Application Engineer translating customer needs into technical configurations, created 70+ pages of FAQs and job aids, and managed cross-functional projects and training programs—overhauling technical training and leading an 18-month knowledge transfer to scale expertise.
