Partner Solutions Architect · Pre-Sales & Technical Partnerships

I deploy complex technology into enterprise hands

Technical discovery, solution design, and end-to-end deployment for 25+ enterprise partners. $40M+ P&L owned. Python, cloud, and API infrastructure. I sit between engineering and business — and speak both languages fluently.

Philosophy

Rare combination

⚙️

Technical Pre-Sales

I run technical discovery with partners, translate business requirements into architecture, scope proofs-of-concept, and drive deals from qualification to deployment. 25+ enterprise integrations delivered.

💼

Solution Design & Delivery

BCG-trained structured thinking + hands-on implementation. I run solution design workshops, build reference architectures, and own complex projects from discovery to delivery — 17 chains, 22 markets, 100+ assets.

🔗

Partner Enablement

I build enablement assets — technical decks, reference architectures, integration docs — and drive adoption across partner technical and sales teams. C-level stakeholder management across 25+ organizations.

🚀

0 → 1 Product Launch

"User zero" mindset — I crash-test deployments before partner rollout, document edge cases, and relay feedback to engineering. Conceptualized and launched Chainlink Data Link, a new product category.
