Solutions Engineer · Colorado

Principal solutions engineer with twelve years in enterprise software as a service (SaaS), guiding long, complex sales cycles for Fortune 500 organizations across nearly every industry. I work with IT, security, legal, procurement, and executive buyers to shape a solution that holds up for each of them.

Leadership and quota. Led enablement for a 20+ person enterprise solutions engineering team after a merger. Highest global quota attainment twice across a 60+ person team, and above 100% in five separate years.

Discovery and business case. I run discovery in the customer’s own language and build the return on investment (ROI) case on the hours, rework, and cycle times their team described. Storytelling carries that work forward: customer stories make the value concrete and keep the whole room engaged.

Architecture and proofs of concept. Demos and proofs of concept (POCs) built on the customer’s own data model in Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics. I’m highly detail oriented about the demo org, so the data and flow look like the buyer’s own. Backed by four Salesforce certifications, application programming interfaces (APIs), and Apex.

Artificial intelligence (AI). I built and run Level$, a household finance app with an AI voice agent (Portfolio). At work, AI handles the first pass on research, discovery prep, proposal drafts, and reporting, work that once took hours or days and now takes minutes. I arrive at discovery calls already familiar with the customer’s business, and proposals reach them while the conversation is still fresh.

Beyond work. Volunteer for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Bike MS, Walk MS) and a mentor of undergraduates through the Business Peer Mentoring Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder for more than five years. Open to occasional consulting projects.
