About

I started out as a digital marketing executive, running and optimizing web and mobile app ads. The more I worked on the execution side, the more curious I became about the systems behind it. So in 2019, I quit marketing, took a front-end programming course and landed a web developer internship. A few months in, I realized what I missed most: working with clients!

That led me to a martech agency, first as an implementation engineer and later as a solutions engineer, where I could combine business understanding, marketing expertise and technical skills to solve clients’ use cases. I’ve thrived in consulting roles ever since, helping businesses choose the right martech platforms, integrate them into their systems and train their teams. Today, my work spans technical pitching, RFP evaluation, and SDK, API and data pipeline integration guidance.
