Proofworks
A capability layer for a changing job market. Interactive workforce index built on BLS data, plus the placement engine behind it.

I want to build the systems behind how people work, adapt, and find opportunity.

I'm an operator moving deeper into early-stage technology, marketplaces, and AI-enabled workforce systems.
My background is in complex program delivery, live operations, stakeholder coordination, and turning ambiguous work into something people can actually run.

Put me where the playbook is still being written.
I'm most useful close to the operating problem — customers, data, product — at companies rethinking how people are evaluated, matched with work, and made more capable. Not several layers removed from the outcome.
- Marketplace growth and activation
- Go-to-market and pipeline development
- Strategic and product operations
- Customer implementation and delivery
- Recruiting and workforce infrastructure
- AI-enabled operational products
Three ways this goes.
Operator seat
GTM, RevOps, or implementation at an AI-native company — SDR-to-systems path included. I build pipeline and the machine behind it.
Talent & market intelligence
Recruiting and talent firms: placements, candidate-market research, and maps like the GTM Migration page — run for your desk, your clients, your categories.
Early-stage building
Workforce infrastructure from zero. Proofworks is the working example.
What I have already proven
Complex program operations
Managed 20–30 concurrent national programs across more than 60,000 retail locations while directly owning a $3.1M+ annual portfolio.
High-stakes execution
Coordinated guests, partners, vendors, budgets, and changing logistics across international experiences and live events.
Built from ambiguity
Designed and shipped Proofworks and GTM Radar — working AI systems, including an autonomous market-intelligence agent — built end to end with Claude Code, no engineering team.
