[ GTM Engineer ]
> about
I'm a GTM Engineer. I build AI systems that turn manual sales work into revenue: inbound routing, lead research and qualification, signal-based outbound, CRM cleanup, and sales intelligence. I spent about 7 years as a software engineer in AR, AI, and 3D (the Software Artist era), and the last 3 building AI sales systems. Range is the point: real engineering, no-code automation (n8n, Clay), LLM agents, and the sales systems that tie them to money.
> selected work
- Alpha Apex Group Built an inbound engine that reads every lead, classifies it, routes it, and drafts the reply. Saved SDRs 6+ hours a day, and revenue grew 45% in 3 months.
- NuMarket Built a signal engine that catches local businesses the moment they apply to launch, then researches them and reaches out. Cold-outreach conversion went from 3% to over 25%.
- Fieldtrip Agency Built lead research and qualification so reps only take calls that fit, and walk in already briefed. Plus a CRM cleanup and a sales-intelligence dashboard.
