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 building AI that autonomously generates, tests, and scales ads. It's live with dozens of businesses and the metrics are moving in the right direction. Long term, I want to look back and know I spent my life building things that helped the average person.

That's the bet I'm making.
