C-LEVEL SALES GUY · DALLAS
Twenty years selling enterprise software meant being in the room as the largest companies in their industries debated which projects to fund and how to deliver them, against budgets, the technology and skills they already had, and the questions of privacy, scale and governance. Now you can have software built according to those same principles, using a system designed with the checks, the records and the guardrails, and a real, live human being deciding what looks and feels right before anything ships.
I build for owners and agencies who need real software for iPhone, Android and the web without hiring a development shop.
Getting a room of CIOs, directors, architects and developers to say yes to the same thing. Twenty years of that taught me what safe innovation looks like inside a large company: who has to be convinced, what has to be written down, what gets you thrown out. I built that into the system rather than into a pitch.
In 2018 Halliburton put me in a data science program run with MIT. I didn't know the math that turned out to be a prerequisite for the course. I learned linear algebra and Python on my own time so I could finish the course, and I did. Then I used it: a forty-three-account plan for a field development project, built with a customer and sold to several companies, and later the Talend data-fabric foundations so I could speak to the engineers who bought from me. I am not a data scientist. I am a salesman who wanted to understand the technology well enough to sell it truthfully, and found out I liked the technology for its own sake. That is where this company comes from.
The record, in one line each.
Core platforms, data warehousing, middleware, cloud e-discovery, data integration, field data science. Telecom and utilities, oil and gas, retail and grocery, restaurants, financial services, legal, state government.
Since 2026 the system has sorted 103,950 emails and 33,545 texts, merged 128 pull requests in one week and pushed seven releases through three environments, each on evidence. How it was built, and what each build taught the next, is on What we build.
Tell me what you need. We ask the hard questions first: should this exist at all, and is there something you should buy instead of building it. Then the system designs it in three looks, builds it for iPhone, Android and the web, tests it, ships it and keeps it running. A real, live human being brings their own sense of style, what looks and feels right, to every screen before it ships.
If you are a designer or an agency, your library stays yours and your clients stay yours. The system builds in your brand, not ours. Show me what you have and I will show you what it becomes.
The mechanics, the reading, and the parts of me that show up in the work. Why theater makes a better salesperson (twenty-three leading roles at Repertory Company Theatre, Valjean to Max Bialystock; special skills: buffoonery, cartwheels, auctions). What a near miss on an offshore rig taught me about selling change. The math I had to learn for MIT. A twelve-hour Yale course on well-being in August 2019, which I thought was for fun; who knew how much I would need it the following year. The stack, the fleet and the proof points behind each Designosaur. And the three posts I wrote before any of this existed, with their original dates.
One conversation. No form, no funnel: write to jack@clevelsalesguy.com or reply to whoever sent you here. If it turns out you should buy something instead of building it, I will say so.
