Education Meets Enterprise Engineering

Before becoming a Partner Solutions Architect at Salesforce, I spent four years as a secondary mathematics and business educator, teaching over 200 students annually how to break down complex problems into digestible concepts.

Today, I apply those same pedagogical techniques to artificial intelligence—training offshore development teams, running interactive hackathons, coaching professionals through career pivots, and speaking at global conferences. My mission is simple: demystify AI and make it accessible to everyone.

Whether addressing C-suite executives or hosting technical workshops for engineering teams, I focus on building true technical confidence through plain-language explanations, real-world failure modes, and build-first learning models.
