Business + Build

How I Work

I work best when the business problem is still messy and someone needs to understand the work, shape a useful system, and get the first version moving.

Operating Manual

I can move between the person doing the work, the business decision behind it, and the system that could make it better.

01

Business Context

Sales operations, client discovery, analytics, and market experience taught me to understand how the work gets done.

02

Workflow

I look for the decisions, handoffs, repeated work, and customer moments where a better system could make a real difference.

03

Working System

I can build enough of the product myself to make the idea testable and put it in front of people.

04

Implementation

The system still has to fit the people using it. I think about approval, adoption, handoffs, and what happens after the demo.

My Story

How I got here.

A business foundation first, then the technical capability to build and test better systems myself.

Where it began

01The Foundation

I started my career at Sub-Zero Group, Inc. in a rotational program that moved through sales operations, product marketing, product launch, showroom sales, and external dealer sales. It was an unusually good seat for learning how premium products move through a market.

I saw the parts most people only talk about in pieces: the product story, the sales team, the dealer network, the showroom experience, the launch material, and the discipline required to make a brand feel consistent at every touchpoint.

The leap

02On My Own

As the rotational program came to an end, I decided to take a risk and bet on myself.

I started doing freelance marketing work, and that slowly became a small agency. I was sitting across the table from business owners, founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs trying to turn a loose idea or a stalled business problem into something customers would respond to.

What pulled me in

03The Work

That was the first time I understood what kind of work pulls me in. I liked building: turning a loose idea into something a client could see, use, and respond to.

Running that agency forced me to own the full problem: discovery, strategy, websites and eCommerce, customer acquisition, vendors, reporting, and the uncomfortable work of deciding which ideas deserved the investment.

When everything moved

04The Shift

Then the tools changed. As AI and modern builder tools became widely available, the industry changed fast. At first, it felt like a gift: more speed, more capacity, more ways for small teams to build.

Then the economics of basic marketing production collapsed. Websites, copy, and ad creative became cheaper and easier to produce. That made the average deliverable less defensible, and it forced me to ask a better question: what still matters when almost everyone can make something?

A sharper question

05The Lever

In a world where tools make everyone fast, judgment becomes the real lever.

Strong teams know what is worth making, why it should exist, and how to execute above the noise.

So I went deeper into the technology behind the shift. I wanted to understand where AI could improve real work, where it created new risk or friction, and what it took to turn a promising use case into a product someone could use.

Today

06Building Now

I started building. I created an AI interview platform, a home-services CRM demo, Terralis Print Studio, and MoveMint. Across each product, the work stayed consistent: understand the problem, map the workflow, make the hard product decisions, and build enough of the system to prove it.

My business background gives the technical work context. Technical capability lets me carry that judgment into a working product.

The role I want

07What’s Next

I’m looking for a team with serious operating problems and room for someone who can work between the business, the user, and the build. That is where I do my best work.

Point of View

Tools made everyone fast. Judgment is the lever that's left.

The teams that win won't make the most. They'll know what's worth making, why it should exist, and how to execute above the noise. That's the work I want to be in the room for.

What's Next

I want in on
problems that matter.

A team with a high bar, a real product instinct, and the ambition to build things worth building.

Implementation

I build around the workflow, not just the AI output.

My home-services CRM demonstration connects lead analysis, call summaries, quote preparation, appointments, review monitoring, and follow-up inside one working system. AI supports specific parts of the process while customer-facing actions remain under human control.

I have taken the same end-to-end approach across other functional prototypes, including an interview system, a configurable product studio, and a testnet token-launch platform. Each required more than generating an output. I had to design the interface, rules, system state, error handling, and complete user journey.

That is the work I want to keep doing: understand how a process works, decide where AI belongs, and implement a system people can actually use.
