Employer Portfolio — 2025–26 Build Log
I'm a hands-on applications builder, not a planner or a spec-sheet generalist. I take ownership of the whole tickets stack — from the SMB tools (GoHighLevel, n8n, call-center) up to enterprise data platforms (BigQuery, Databricks, Segment, Looker, Salesforce Marketing Cloud) — and I wire it to produce measurable, ROI-focused marketing and revenue outcomes. Platform-agnostic by nature: I pick the right tool for the job and I build it myself, screenshots to prove it.
const me = { role: 'Marketing Ops Expert', mode: 'Hands-on applications builder', scope: 'Owns the stack end to end', tools: { 'SMB': ['GHL', 'n8n', 'CallTools', 'ViciDial'], 'Enterprise': ['BigQuery', 'Databricks', 'Segment', 'Looker', 'SFMC'], 'AI': ['agentic', 'workflows', 'model routing'] }, metric: 'ROI, not tickets' };
01 — The Build
Data architecture, MarTech, and operations aren't separate functions to me — they're one build with one goal. I design it, wire it, run it, and measure it end to end. Screenshots below are from the platform I built and operate.
Bronze/Silver/Gold lakehouse on Databricks, BigQuery marts, Fivetran ETL/ELT, Looker, Segment, Salesforce MC. Reverse-ETL so the data activates, not just stores.
GoHighLevel, n8n, call-center (ViciDial), CallTools, ads. Built and operated as one system — a custom agent workspace, call-intelligence, attribution, and pay.
Modular multi-model agentic AI — scheduled collectors, webhooks, human-in-the-loop, fallback routing. Automation that accelerates the build, not replaces judgment.
02 — Client Results, Prior Work
Prior client work — fractional CMO / MarTech builds. Every one with a measurable, marketing-relevant outcome. Full case studies are one click away.

A $4.99 day-trading ebook engine. 1,553 buyers in 30 days at only $76 each, with the micro-funnel turning profitable alongside.

Turned a $4.95 checklist into a 4× ROI funnel — micro purchases for under $40 a buyer, feeding a $2,495 webinar offer.

Crushed the $200 CPA goal — booked calls down to $137.85 in 30 days, with a clear path to sub-$100. Real-estate coaching VSL funnel.

Booked security-service calls for $20 (target $200) — 'near me' + call-only Google Search ads feeding a qualified funnel.

Front-end VSL funnel plus a CRM call-screening middleware that warmed transfers to the floor — qualified SQLs around $20 each.

B2B call bookings around $120/booked appointment (peaks $75 after AB/CRO) — plus the 7-page CMO positioning deck.
03 — The Build, In Screenshots
The /agc-next agent call-center workspace, the Call Intelligence + Pay platform, the analytics, the ads. Each is a working system I built and run.








04 — Résumé & Contact
Not a data scientist, not a C-Suite generalist — a hands-on applications builder who also runs marketing-operations and the MarTech stack end to end. Comfortable from SMB tools (GHL, n8n) to enterprise data & marketing platforms (BigQuery, Databricks, Segment, Looker, Salesforce MC).

Small or medium growth-stage firm — even a startup — you don't have to hire a team and a data swamp. One builder owns it, wires it, measures it, and makes it produce ROI.
