An unlikely route to building AI that earns its keep.
Most people in this work came up through engineering. I came up through a licensed trade, learned the business of marketing on the floor, and taught myself to build the systems I needed. That route is the point — I translate between the people who run the business and the machines that can move it.
Licensed cosmetologist
CRAFT - SALES - CLIENT TRUST
Started in a licensed trade. Learned to read people, sell honestly, and deliver under pressure — the fundamentals nobody can hand you in a deck.
Marketing operator
PROGRAM DELIVERY - DEMAND - ENABLEMENT
Moved into B2B marketing and ran the work end to end — content syndication, webinars, custom content, and the sales enablement that makes it all convert.
Marketing intelligence lead
ANALYTICS - SYSTEMS - DECISIONS
Built a multi-pillar intelligence practice inside a shared-services org — turning scattered data across a 90+ brand portfolio into decisions leadership could act on.
Platform owner & AI builder
PRODUCT - AGENTS - REVENUE
Now I own an AI product line and lead applied-AI adoption — designing agentic workflows and shipping commercial AI features, all self-taught.
Four things I built — and what they returned.
Built in the open — and recognized for it.
