Senior Product Consultant · Integration Builder · Quiet Automator
I solve problems with whatever tool fits — code, no-code, or something I haven't built yet.
Senior Product Consultant at Cvent by day. Builder, automator, and occasional engineer by everything else.
I work with whatever fits the problem. The Glean agents weren't a Glean tutorial — they were because field selection errors were costing my team hours. The Chrome extensions weren't a JavaScript exercise — they were because manual handoffs were slow. I don't build to learn. I learn to build.
- Shipping AI agents on Glean for internal workflows
- Writing Chrome extensions that quietly fix annoying processes
- Building a queue management system in Node.js + PostgreSQL
- Getting fluent with system design and backend architecture

- I came to engineering through enterprise SaaS consulting, not the other way around. That's a feature, not a bug — I understand what clients actually need before I try to build it.
- I prefer shipped imperfect over perfect unfinished. The Glean agents went live in a week. They've been improving since.
- I think a lot about the gap between building something and building something worth building. Most of my work lives in that gap.
- ENTJ by personality test, INTJ by behaviour. Strategic before tactical. Quiet before loud.
If you're building something in the integration, automation, or product space — or just want to talk systems, strategy, or how SaaS consultants quietly turn into engineers — reach out.
