With 15 years of general business experience and 8 years of eCommerce agency sales experience, I help agencies beef up their sales game and also provide businesses with advice on choosing the best eCommerce platform.
Over the last 2 years, I have gone all in on AI too. I am in the top 1% of Replit users, and I take a pragmatic and business-focused approach to a technology that is moving quicker than the speed of light!
I don't offer every service under the sun, but I know sales, I know AI, and I know eCommerce inside out, and I know I can save you thousands of dollars and hours by guiding you through how to sensibly adopt AI in your organization or drive sales.
Services I offer:
1. AI implementation and adoption consulting
2. Vibe coding and software development
3. Sales consulting, training, and execution for Digital Marketing and e-commerce agencies.
4. Agency vetting for SMBs that are exploring taking on an agency to execute Digital Marketing and/or a website rebuild.
I am not going to be the cheapest in town, but remember, you get what you pay for and you pay for what you get. I am an expert, so expect the best.

Howdy, I'm Cody!
Selling profitably on Amazon by yourself is like playing Giant Jenga in the dark… technically it can be done, but you're sure to be missing a few key pieces, if you find any success you have no idea how you did it, and if you lose focus for even a second, your masterpiece can come toppling down.
No fun.
To have lasting success on Amazon you need an expert-level skillset in wildly disparate areas (e.g., strategy, creative, marketing, ops, etc.), and you need to be able to juggle multiple moving parts. Managing inventory, optimizing listings, and keeping up with changing PPC algorithms is hard enough. Add in the pressure of tight margins, competition, and the unpredictable nature of customer feedback, and it’s no wonder that many sellers feel like they’re constantly playing catch-up.
Simply put, you need help. Everyone does. And I can help!
WHAT I DO: AMAZON CONSULTING.
I own and operate a small Amazon-focused e-commerce consulting company, 1019 Collective. Between myself and my partner, Mat, we have 10+ years of experience on Amazon and have worked with large brands doing $10M+ in annual sales, and smaller brands trying to establish themselves.
👉 Strategy.
Business planning, category research, product and brand positioning, margin analysis, and keyword research.
👉 Creative.
Designing product images, infographics, A+ Content and Storefronts, SEO and brand copywriting, and photo and video editing.
👉 Operations.
Catalog management, customer service, inventory planning, fulfillment strategy, account compliance, and analytics and reporting.
👉 Marketing.
Promotional planning, pricing and merchandising, brand building, review generation, A/B testing, and PPC management.
PROOF THAT I'M NOT JUST MAKING IT ALL UP 😊
I take a no-nonsense approach to Amazon and strongly believe "common sense + proven strategies = real results." Here is a small sampling of what Mat & I have done for clients.
✅ #1 Amazon Launch in Category in 2021!
We had P&L responsibility for a startup food and beverage brand launched out of a Fortune 200 Corporation. Despite major legal and compliance challenges, we were the top launch in the category, achieved a #32 rank, and drove 52% monthly sales growth in year 1.
✅ 483% Annual Sales Growth Over 3 Years!
We took over a mismanaged Amazon store for a well-known fishing outerwear and apparel brand. By removing unauthorized resellers, revamping content on 1,000+ listings, and dropping Amazon exclusive products, we grew the store 483% annually and earned a #5 rank for its leading ASIN.
✅ 64% Monthly Revenue Growth Over 2.5 Years!
We fixed a badly broken Amazon store for a legacy fishing tackle company with over 5,000 ASINs, and dozens of resellers. From high-level strategy helping them upgrade e-commerce and fulfillment systems, to the nitty gritty details managing 1,000+ cases and creating 100+ new pieces of A+ Content, we did it all. They achieved 64% monthly revenue growth and improved conversion rate by 15% across the store.
✅ Top 100 Category Rank in Under 60 Days... On ZERO PPC Spend!
We provided end-to-end consulting to the founder of a new private label flying disc brand. Our listings delivered 2X benchmark conversion rates at launch. Our organic promotional strategies saw purchasers post 26 pieces of UGC in reviews, an average star rating of 4.7 on 57 verified reviews, and achieved a Top 100 rank in the category... all within 60 days... with $0 ad spend.
I'd love to help you in any stage of your journey through the unforgiving Amazon jungle.
Thank you for reading, and please reach out with any questions!

Analytics and tracking specialist with 14+ years of experience helping B2B and B2C companies get accurate, actionable data from their marketing stack.
I focus on four core areas:
GA4 & Google Tag Manager — Full audits and implementations, including conversion tracking, custom event setup, dataLayer configuration, and cross-domain tracking. I find what's broken, fix it, and document everything so your team understands what's running and why.
Google Ads Management & Tracking — Campaign setup, ongoing management, and conversion tracking implementation via GTM. I handle audience setup, bidding strategy, and make sure your campaigns are optimizing on real data not inflated or miscounted conversions. I also troubleshoot existing accounts where performance has plateaued or tracking is unreliable.
Server-Side Tracking — Server-side GTM deployments using Stape, with BigQuery integration for teams that need raw, unsampled event data they actually own. This includes first-party data setup, consent mode configuration, and bypassing browser-side tracking limitations.
Looker Studio Dashboards — Custom dashboards that pull from GA4, Google Ads, BigQuery, and other sources into a single view your team can actually use.
Tools I work in regularly:
Google Tag Manager (GTM)
- Setup, migrations, and audits for tracking infrastructure.
- E-commerce conversion tracking across Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento.
- Event tracking and custom event design.
- Custom dimension and metric configuration.
- dataLayer architecture and ongoing support.
- Server-side tagging using GTM server containers.
- Meta / Facebook Conversions API (CAPI) implementation through GTM.
- Purchase and conversion tracking for Shopify and WooCommerce stores.
- Server-side deployments via Stape. io, Cloudflare, and similar hosting.
- Cookie consent management and Google Consent Mode integration.
Google Analytics (GA4)
- GA4 Implementations and audits.
- Enhanced e-commerce measurement.
- Conversions, events, and custom definitions.
- Cross-domain tracking.
- Traffic filtering and internal traffic exclusion.
- Server-side GA4 tracking for improved ROAS.
- Debugging and data integrity validation.
Conversion Tracking
- Cross-platform conversion tracking | Meta.
- Facebook Pixel and Conversions API.
- Google Ads with Enhanced Conversions.
- Microsoft Ads conversion tracking.
- Pinterest Tag and event tracking.
- TikTok Pixel implementation.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag and conversion events.
- Server-side tracking across multiple platforms

If your WordPress site has already been "optimized" and the numbers still don't move — that's the work I do. 25+ years in web infrastructure. 12 years focused exclusively on WordPress.
I specialize in the performance problems that persist after everyone else has "fixed it": LCP that won't drop below 4 seconds, TTFB creeping back up after a caching plugin, INP failures on Elementor-heavy pages, CLS triggered by late-loading assets nobody thought to audit. I work at the server level — SSH, MySQL, Apache, and PHP configuration — because that's where these problems actually live.
I work in Elementor Pro daily. Most CWV problems on Elementor sites aren't WordPress problems — they're builder-level problems. Bloated DOM output, render-blocking widget scripts, unoptimized dynamic CSS. I fix them at the source, not by bolting on another optimization plugin.
WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN
Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed:
LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, TBT — full CrUX and lab score analysis
Server-level optimization via SSH (Apache or NGINX)
MySQL query profiling and database optimization
PHP configuration, memory limits, and error resolution
Server-side caching (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare CDN
Render-blocking resource elimination at the code level
Elementor-specific DOM and script optimization
Real user metrics, not just lab scores
Technical SEO:
Hand-coded JSON-LD schema — not plugin-generated
.htaccess for redirects and canonicalization
robots.txt and llms.txt for traditional and AI crawler control
Crawl error diagnosis via server log analysis
RankMath Pro configuration and optimization
WordPress Infrastructure:
Migrations between hosts with zero downtime
Staging environment setup and backup protocols
Security hardening at the server and file permission level
cPanel, WHM, and Kinsta environment management
Ongoing maintenance with monthly reporting
CLIENT RESULTS
Corporate services site (2025): 47 hand-coded JSON-LD schemas — Service, Person, FAQ, AggregateRating with page-level targeting. Site health 88% to 99%. PageSpeed desktop +32 points. Delivered 5 days early, zero validation errors.
Local business (2024): SEMrush visibility +25.6% in four months. 14 new top-3 keyword rankings. 92% site health score.
E-commerce (2024): Domain authority 0 to 36 in under a year. Google Ads CPC dropped from $163 to $0.30 — 99.8% reduction in ad spend through organic visibility gains.
Nonprofit (2020-2025): Inherited site with zero DA. Audit found database timeouts, 300+ broken redirects, unparseable schema — none addressed by the previous agency. Fixed all three. Result: 400%+ organic traffic increase, DA 0 to 25.
WHO I WORK BEST WITH
You're a good fit if:
- Your site has CWV failures or PageSpeed scores that survived a previous optimization attempt
- You've hired someone for this before and got a report instead of results
- Your site runs Elementor, and performance is degrading as the content grows
- You need server access, not just dashboard access
- Your budget is $1,000- $5,000 for project work.
WordPress only. Not the right fit for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or basic plugin updates.
TOOLS
Performance: GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, SEMrush, Search Console
WordPress: Elementor Pro, Perfmatters, EWWW Image Optimizer, RankMath Pro
Server: SSH, cPanel, WHM, phpMyAdmin, MySQL, Apache, NGINX
Hosting: Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, A2, Liquid Web, Cloudflare
