Hi, I'm Keylem Collier
"The guy who dreams big."
I dream a lot and with that comes risk. Risk that's led to a lot of failure and also a lot of wins. I’m a military brat born in Germany, raised across the U.S., and in a past life, I was a pretty good saxophone player. Moving often teaches you to start over, observe, and adapt fast. I use that experience each and everyday as I build with AI.
I’ve lived a few lives: audio engineer, actor, saxophonist, B2B salesmen, developer, founder. Some worked; some didn’t. The through-line: big vision, stubborn follow-through, small daily steps. That’s how I think.
Right now I’m working on an AI that autonomously generates, tests, and scales ads. It’s in alpha with a few dozen businesses. If the metrics continue to improve, I’ll scale. If they don’t, I’ll pivot. Long term, I want to be able to say I spent my life building things that helped the average person.
Hopefully that's not too big of a dream.
