Hi, I'm Jimmy.
I keep complicated systems working for actual people. Then I go home and make things because I'm curious.
Saw my MOPZA talk? Here's everything from Who Changed That.
An AI watchdog that flags risky CRM changes before they turn into 8,400 fake MQLs.
Go to the talk and build notes →The work part
I lead Commercial Technology and Platforms at Accruent. My team looks after the GTM and martech systems around Salesforce: the connections, processes, and unglamorous details that keep sales and marketing moving. I've worked in martech and ops since 2011.
Most of my job is translation. A technical change should make sense to the people who have to live with it, and a business request should make sense to the people building it.
Before Accruent: CrowdStrike, Coursera, Intuit, Teradata, and Hanover Research.
The rest of it
I'm a dad in Poway, California. I'm trying to grow things, learning to use a Sony a6000, making more coffee than I should, and printing things on a Bambu P1S. Sometimes a question turns into a little website. That's how Weird Little Joy Machines happened.
I've also been known to take apart and rebuild/upgrade old iPods and Zunes, because apparently I have opinions about music players from 2007. A coworker once called me the most likable person in IT. I've decided that's binding.
