I started building web apps and side hustles in school but quickly became drawn to the energy and ambition of startups.During an internship at Velocitos in Silicon Valley, I realized a critical truth: 80% of startup success revolves around sales and marketing to drive growth. After a few failed side hustles, I learned that a great product means little if no one knows about it. Mastering marketing and sales became my priority.I dove headfirst into marketing, brand positioning, and copywriting, starting with unpaid work for agencies. My breakthrough came when I trained under direct response expert Kenneth Yu, who helped me transition into freelancing for online businesses and agencies.I then co-founded ScaleInbox, a company helping B2B businesses book more sales appointments without paid ads. As the primary operator, I scaled our outreach, built an eight-person team, and streamlined operations using low-code tools and refined SOPs. This experience taught me to think like a product manager, treating our internal systems as products and my team as “users.” I focused on creating efficient, user-centered processes that delivered results.Eventually, my curiosity about what makes products impactful brought me back to technology. At MISSION+, I now combine my expertise in marketing, sales, and operations to improve messaging, craft communication assets, and support team goals. I create decks, web copy, and outbound materials to ensure consistency while building scalable systems and automating workflows for our marketing and sales teams. I treat my internal team as “users,” designing tools and processes that streamline communication and operations.My long term goal is to stack skills in marketing, product management, and development to create impactful products, content, and businesses. In essence, I’m a creator—building ads, systems, and software that solve problems, drive growth, and are a beauty of work.Inspired by Naval Ravikant’s advice to “learn to sell, learn to build,” today I’ve been exploring low-code tools and AI-assisted coding to become a “technical non-technical.” Follow along as I share some of my insights on my journey.
