United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an innovative and visionary Account Executive with over 20 years of experience in developer tools, software engineering, and open-source advocacy. My career has been defined by my ability to bridge technical depth with strategic sales acumen, leading enterprise-scale transformations and driving product adoption from the ground up. Currently, I lead Kobkob, a global custom software agency, where I oversee strategy and operations, focusing on next-gen tooling and software services.
Throughout my career, I have successfully built technical and sales processes from scratch, driving international growth and interfacing directly with clients, CTOs, and technical stakeholders to shape effective solutions. My experience at Codeable as a WordPress Expert and Project Manager has further honed my skills in advising clients and mentoring engineers, leading to the closure of high-value projects across 15 countries. I am passionate about advocating for ethical AI, agent-first development, and team productivity tools, and I have contributed significantly to community development and knowledge sharing.
