summary

Solutions Engineer and technical customer-facing engineer with 3+ years owning the full lifecycle of enterprise partner relationships — pre-sales discovery, solution architecture, proof-of-concept execution, production deployment, ongoing technical support, and customer success. Comfortable as the technical face of a product in front of CTOs and integration teams, and equally comfortable in the weeds debugging a production failure. Strong written communicator who builds the documentation, runbooks, and escalation frameworks that make complex products easy to adopt and support at scale.
