The only photo I have at the Google office of myself is from my last day.. Family by my side, campus behind me, badge about to be dropped off. Hits different. But for those who know me, it tracks well 😊 And well… it also happens to be one of the only photos from the this year that isn’t AI generated. 😉 My journey here started with a simple thought. For years, I’d been in pre-sales for MarTech — showcasing cutting-edge products through impressive demos, I felt a yearning to move beyond presentations and proofs of concept. I desired to delve into the intricate world of building robust MarTech and AI foundations that drive industry giants, I knew I wanted to go beyond dazzling decks and polished POCs. Google Cloud gave me that chance. And what a time to be here — this year was the year AI stopped being “buzz” and became “real.” I had the front-row seat to see it unfold, working up close with some of the largest companies in the world, scaling, breaking, fixing, and architecting what the future will run on. I came in curious. I’m leaving shaped. Now it’s time for the next leap. To take everything I’ve learned — the grit, the scale, the obsession with 10x thinking — and put it into building. Because there’s only so much magic in running a demo. The real joy is in creating the thing that others will demo. Onward. 🚀
