What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive enterprise business growth with consultative technical selling, combining rigorous analysis and AI/LLM evaluation to deliver customer-focused solutions and measurable revenue gains in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

I’m a Business Development and Technical Sales professional with a background in chemical engineering, focused on turning customer needs into revenue-generating, technically sound solutions. I combine structured market research, consultative selling, and stakeholder management to qualify opportunities and shape winning proposals.

In technical account work, I managed a pipeline of 150+ prospective clients and improved lead-to-customer conversion by 22% through data-driven segmentation and strategic account management. I deliver technical product presentations and demonstrations, and I partner with cross-functional teams to address delivery, quality, and performance concerns with root-cause thinking.

I also bring hands-on AI evaluation experience, completing 1,000+ LLM and AI system assessments with a 100% quality score and on-time delivery. I evaluate reasoning, factuality, safety, and instruction adherence, and I rewrite outputs to improve clarity and accuracy using evidence-based justifications and quality assurance rigor.
