Unique Value
I spent my career in sales, listening and working to master the art of negotiation and closing-- but with the advancement of AI, I'm also picking up technical skills for use in my GTM efforts.

I'm building using LLMs, React, Vercel & Visual Studio Code. I've leveraged AI in my roles to maximize output with the smallest possible team.
I have deep network in the founder & venture ecosystems due to my roles & AL & AtriumCompetitive. Determined. Growth Mindset.
