About Cole Lance
I help lean B2B teams punch above their weight by building data-driven, automation-powered product systems that scale growth without scaling complexity. Whether it\'s identity infrastructure, funnel optimization, or API-integrated platforms, I specialize in turning business constraints into catalysts for impact.My background spans both high-growth companies and scrappy startups, and I thrive where product, data, and systems thinking intersect. With hands-on skills in data infrastructure and tooling (SQL, Looker, Redshift), cloud architecture (AWS, GCP), automation orchestration (Make, Zapier), customer infrastructure (HubSpot CRM, Auth0 IdP), developer platforms (SDKs, REST APIs), and AI prototyping (Bolt.new, Cursor); I turn insight into product motion and ambiguity into clarity.
