I audit workflows, find where AI saves time or makes money, and build the system by Friday. 8+ years doing this across teams of every size — from startups to Fortune 500 clients like Honda, Disney, and AMD. Built a product from zero that got acquired in 7 months. Finance background (DCF, LBO, Comps). I live in the AI landscape and ship fast.

About
I audit workflows, find where AI saves time or makes money, and build the system by Friday. 8+ years doing this across teams of every size — from startups to Fortune 500 clients like Honda, Disney, and AMD.
Currently Director of Business Development & AI Strategy at Charts & Darts, where I built their AI service lines from scratch and own the full tech stack. In year one, I generated $500K in new ARR, eliminated 40–60% overhead across departments via multi-agent workflows, and cut lead response time from hours to under 60 seconds.
Previously built Slide Data— an AI analytics SaaS unifying ad data across Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn — solo, from zero. Acquired by Charts & Darts in 7 months. Before that, I spent years at NxM Media building CRM and revenue ops from scratch, and at Rhone / Hyper LLC generating $7M+ in B2B revenue.

Most AI roles have you building tools nobody uses.
I want to build AI that actually moves deals forward.

The Fighter
Before building AI systems, I competed professionally. The discipline of combat sport is the foundation of everything I do — the ability to stay composed under pressure, execute a strategy, and adapt in real time.
Pro Career
Professional MMA & Muay Thai Fighter
Competed at the professional level in both MMA and Muay Thai. Developed the composure under pressure, strategic precision, and relentless drive that carry into every system I build.
Thailand
Six Months Fighting in Thailand
Lived and competed in Thailand — trained at the source of Muay Thai. Fought professionally in the country where the sport was born.
10 Years
MMA Instructor
A decade coaching fighters from beginner to competitor level. Developed structured curricula covering striking, grappling, conditioning, and fight strategy.
Disciplines
“The same discipline it takes to step into a ring in Thailand is what it takes to build something from nothing.”
