Tools built around how you win and keep clients.

My background is in sales. I started in university, selling everything from credit cards to door-to-door internet, and later sold high-ticket media placements in Japan. Over the years I worked with publicly traded companies and start-ups, and I kept seeing the same inconsistencies at all of them.

Big or small, they shared the same problem: good people losing hours to busywork. They were typing the same client details into three systems just so the CRM would update, sending the same copied email with a few words changed, chasing documents that had already been sent and rebuilding the same report every week.

So I started fixing those problems while I was working there. The first thing I built came at 20, long before today's AI tools: an outreach system that emailed about 100 enterprise CEOs a day, paced so it never hurt the company's ability to send email. When finding the companies got boring, I automated that too, until my only job was checking the list. It filled my boss's calendar with qualified meetings.

That's how I found out how much I love building solutions, and that I have a knack for it. It helps that I know how a sales pipeline should work, so what I build fits the way a business wins and keeps its clients. It's a big part of why I've been one of the top performers in every role I've had, and some of those fixes are still running at companies I've since moved on from.

In 2022 I started CloseEase with my brother as an automation company. Later we realized that building apps gave us more room to be creative, so we started building those too. Some of our first clients are still with us, and I treat every client like a company I own a share in, because I want to see it grow. When several clients asked for very similar builds, I combined them into the CRM I'd wished for through years of using nearly every major one from the sales side. That became the CloseEase CRM, the build I'm proudest of, now used by companies across several industries.
