About Liam Stabeno

With a diverse background in technical sales, market analysis, and programming, I excel at solving complex problems, building relationships, and driving innovation through technology and data-driven insights.At Serverless Guru, I managed inbound leads and executed targeted outbound prospecting focused on AWS services and Serverless Cloud Infrastructure. I collaborated with marketing to implement lead generation strategies and contributed to a website redesign to enhance brand recognition. I also presented Proof of Concept (PoC) opportunities to clients and worked with our AWS Technical Account Manager (TAM) to identify cost-saving opportunities.At VactionPort (formerly Passport Online Inc.), I led sales efforts to onboard industry suppliers and travel agent consortia, driving adoption of our platform. I led the Content API sales strategy, transitioning clients to a RESTful API and assisting with onboarding the first users. At industry conferences, I managed booth operations, conducted one-on-one meetings, and gathered client feedback to forge new partnerships, while maintaining long-term client relationships and onboarding new suppliers to strengthen our value proposition.During my time in the travel industry, I identified an opportunity when major cruise line stocks were oversold during the pandemic, sparking my curiosity about financial markets. I immersed myself in trading S&P 500 Index derivatives and FAANG stocks, leveraging technical analysis to capitalize on high-potential opportunities while managing risk. This experience sharpened my adaptability and strategic decision-making.My technical foundation was built at Epicodus, where I studied Android/Java and transitioned to web development with JavaScript and Angular. I expanded my skills to include AWS services, focusing on writing Python Lambdas. As a Junior Web Developer, I gained hands-on experience in both web and mobile app development, collaborating with peers on projects.I studied Economics at the University of Victoria and refined my creative and interpersonal skills at the Circle in the Square Theater School in New York. Performing Off-Broadway while working in customer service roles cultivated my communication, adaptability, and collaboration skills. These diverse experiences enable me to approach technical sales with analytical thinking and a deep understanding of customer needs, delivering tailored solutions and building lasting relationships.
