Publisher monetization, restored

Technical lead for eight strategic AdMob and Firebase accounts. I partnered with Product, Engineering, Sales, and BD to diagnose yield, mediation, open bidding, and latency — then shipped the fixes into production.

When publisher revenue dropped, I found the root cause with SQL-backed analysis and restored monetization to pre-incident levels or higher across the book.

Enterprise AI, from POC to production

Customer-facing Cloud Solution Architect for ten enterprise accounts, including Wawa. I designed generative AI solutions, virtual agents, and custom apps on Azure, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365.

Delivered Azure Functions and workflow automation in the Value-Based Delivery catalog, and advised virtual account teams on secure migrations without overselling experimental approaches.

04 / About

Trusted to turn metrics into architecture

I’m a technical consultant and solutions architect with four-plus years at Google and Microsoft delivering generative AI and analytics on Google Cloud and Azure.

Product, engineering, and sales partners trust me to take a messy business metric and leave behind something that runs in production — SQL, Python, Next.js, and the APIs underneath.
