1: 🏆100 MILLION USD+, won on US State and Enterprise RFP/RFQs. High Win Rate. 👉Right now, after 1350 TOP-RATED hours of bid writing experience on Upwork, I am extremely familiar with SAM.Gov/GovWinIQ, US Stateside, EU and Oceania RFP Bid Portals to quickly identify the best RFPs that my clients should bid for. I don't waste time. Although I do have knowledge of FAR; GSA; IDIQ; MATOC federal contract vehicles, I am more specialized in US state gov vehicles. (I also specialize in integrating AI applications to improve file and documentation handling to enhance compliance and win rate on multi-million dollar RFP responses.) Let me help you!👈 Expert category 2:🏆Advanced SEO Technical Writing - (New Tech; SaaS; Cybersecurity; AI integration; APIdocs; Medical) and White Paper Specialist. 🚨If you need a Professional MScEng Engineer that displays SPEED and ACCURACY of service, I am here to work with you on the two categories above. I focus on rapid and clear communication to please my clients, making sure that client data is at all times secure. My clients' favourite are my advanced skills in AI integration, Project Management and Gantt Chart construction. These skills allow my customers to sit back and relax, allowing me to drive dangerously complex RFP project and Technical Agendas to completion. 🚨 🏆My largest Tender/RFP bid won was worth more than 40 million USD, which I converted into a 100 million USD contract over 5 years. I generated this bid for Ericsson Telecoms to supply mobile telephone network infrastructure to cellphone network operators. Let me win the same amount for you! 🌎🏦 I also specialize in authoring and producing International Grade Technical White Papers, not only in engineering/IT, but also in the medical device industry. Please check my Portfolio Section below. I have helped many American/Canadian/European/Chinese companies here on Upwork to succeed. Let me help you too! I can publish your tech article in international engineering/scientific journals if required. I can also SEO publish your article on a website, behind an information or pay gate, no problem. I use AI/LLMs for writing on customer request, but at times I prefer not to because of constant inaccuracies/hallucinations and programmer bias/censorship associated with most AI models. As AI matures, I will probably use it more for writing Hi-Tech content, at the customer's request. 👉There are still many things that AI is unsuitable for in content generation. Be careful. If you want to be the best, go for original professional writing. But if you want to automate admin and increase generic speed with AI, call me - I'm your expert.👈 ---------------- RFP, RFQ, RFI, Tender, Bid, SLA, Bid Submission, Tender Submission, Bid Preparation, RFP documentation, RFP policy, RFP workflow, RFP Project Management, RFP pricing, RFP technical response, RFP policy documentation, RFP portal, RFP legal framework, RFP product documentation, RFP structure, RFP loading, RFP portal management, RFP win, RFP shortlist, RFP invitation, RFP notification,
