I am a computer engineer by training interested in AI, growth and infra. I believe great technology is not just built, it’s also marketed and sold.

Currently I am leading Go To Market Engineering for Clay. Previously I was the Head of Growth for Vantage, the cloud cost observability platform and prior to that I led Growth at Arctype before it was acquired by ClickHouse. I started a company called Perceive which was building infrastructure for cashierless checkout stores. Perceive was awarded a Phase I and Phase II NSF SBIR grant to develop the technology behind our product, including deep learning based human action recognition and multi camera scene reconstruction. I received a S. in Computer Engineering from Purdue University. While at Purdue I performed research with Dr. Yung-Hsiang Lu on multimedia systems and distributed video analysis. We published several papers about our work and its applications. I carried out some of this research at Qualcomm, as part of the Android camera power and performance team. I love the more technical aspects of all things, including sales and marketing. Book a meeting with me to chat!
