Listen-First | Pre-Sales | POCs & Integrations | Security/DDQ | ROI-Driven
Listen-first solutions engineer who pays for himself by shortening sales cycles and growing new revenue. I align to leadership goals, confirm success metrics and guardrails, and execute – fast, safe, measurable. I start with questions, find the real blocker, build a small POC with a clear payback, de-risk security early, and take it live. I bridge engineering and sales – partnering with AEs, Product Managers, and Security to run discovery, POC/POV (pre-sales / presales), DDQ, and integration plans, with a clean handoff to production and adoption.
Listen first. Prove fast.
