Solutions Engineer translating technical requirements into measurable business impact for customers and engineering teams.
What I'm looking for
I’ve spent 9+ years in SaaS bridging what engineering builds and what customers actually need, translating complex technical requirements into solutions that drive measurable outcomes. I bring technical fluency to pre-sales discovery and post-sales implementation, aligning stakeholders with tradeoffs and strategic alternatives when reality doesn’t match assumptions.

Earlier at CINC, I led initiatives that eliminated $468K in annual licensing costs by building an internal API integration platform, increased customer engagement by 20%, boosted platform adoption by 30%, improved incident resolution by 50%, and accelerated implementation time by 40% through self-service tooling.
