About

Professional summary

I am a Solutions Engineer with over five years of experience helping SaaS customers evaluate, adopt, and optimise technical platforms. I combine consultative discovery with practical knowledge of cloud infrastructure, managed hosting, and platform performance.

I work closely with customers across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments to understand their technical and operational requirements. I translate complex infrastructure concepts into clear recommendations that support scalability, reliability, and long-term growth.

My experience includes cloud architecture discussions across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure, as well as performance analysis using observability platforms such as New Relic and Grafana. I am comfortable delivering technical demonstrations, solution walkthroughs, onboarding guidance, and product training.

I collaborate effectively across Sales, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and Support teams. I use customer feedback and technical discovery insights to help improve product functionality, customer experience, and commercial outcomes.

Alongside my technical background, I bring strong sales and relationship-management experience, including MEDDIC and Sandler methodologies. I am motivated by solving customer problems, learning new technologies, and enabling teams to make informed technical decisions.
