Experience#
Solution Consultant — CMC Global#
Da Nang, Vietnam · 07/2022 – Present
- Lead AI and enterprise pre-sales for APAC clients (primary markets: Singapore and Malaysia), owning the full lifecycle from RFP analysis and discovery through technical solutioning, costing and proposal closure.
- Architect multi-domain enterprise solutions — voice AI call centres, computer vision surveillance, digital twin and simulation, RAG knowledge platforms, intelligent document processing — and defend those architectures in technical evaluation with client CTOs and procurement.
- Build bottom-up estimation models (WBS, effort, buffer, margin) and pricing strategies across fixed-price, T&M and tiered-POC commercial structures.
- Run discovery workshops and stakeholder mapping for enterprise pursuits; produce account research, org charts and entry-angle analysis for target accounts.
- Own resource augmentation pursuits end to end — role profiling, candidate assessment, interview question banks, rate card modelling and client submission.
- Maintain pipeline analytics and win/loss forensics used for regional GTM prioritisation.
Backend Developer / Scrum Master — Digital Unicorn#
07/2021 – 07/2022
- Joined as a backend developer on Life In, a product built for the Belgian market, working on services and APIs alongside the product team.
- Moved into the Scrum Master role for the same team — running ceremonies, backlog refinement, estimation and release planning, and keeping delivery aligned between the engineering team and the product stakeholders in Belgium.
- Kept enough hands in the codebase to keep the process grounded: sprint scope negotiated against real technical constraints rather than optimism.
Freelance Delivery Lead — Nadlo Webagentur (Remote)#
01/2018 – 06/2021
- Ran a small freelance engineering team as the single client-facing point of contact for a European web agency — scoping requests, agreeing timelines and budgets, and reporting progress directly to the agency’s stakeholders.
- Translated client briefs into work packages, distributed them across the team, and reviewed output before hand-off; owned quality and delivery commitments end to end.
- Sustained the engagement for three and a half years on repeat work — every follow-on project won on delivery track record rather than a new pitch.
- Operated fully remote and asynchronously across time zones, which set the working style later used for APAC pre-sales engagements.
