Most companies bolt AI onto a broken process. Six months later the tools get abandoned. I build the other way round: structure first, intelligence on top. I build the operations layer - the system between your team and your tools that actually runs the work. What I've shipped: A 23-agent AI operating system for a design-build construction firm. Estimating, field ops, client comms, financial compliance, plus a memory core holding over a decade of their project history. A single-tenant AI operations platform running on a box the client owns. Telegram text and voice, approval gates on every outward action, an append-only audit trail, live dashboard. A fresh client server stands up in under 45 minutes. Six MCP servers, including a 12-tool MCP server for n8n itself - workflow CRUD, execution control, credentials, health checks. An eval harness with confidence calibration, so you can prove an agent is right instead of hoping. How I work: Discovery first. I map how the work actually happens before writing any code. Draft, approve, act. The system proposes; a human approves; only then does anything leave the building. Every action lands in an audit trail you can read. You own it. Source in your repo, credentials in your vault, runbooks a non-engineer can follow. It runs without me. Stack: n8n, Claude and the Claude Agent SDK, MCP, Hermes, LiteLLM/OpenRouter, Postgres/Supabase, Next.js, Docker, Terraform. If you have a process that only works because one person holds it in their head, that's my conversation.

Toronto University Graduate! I built my career in the California Bay Area startup scene, where speed, innovation, and storytelling make or break a brand. As a founding team member at Airlift, I helped scale operations and marketing during hypergrowth and was part of raising $110M in venture funding. That journey taught me what real brand growth looks like, fast-moving teams, smart content systems, and clear ROI. Today, I work with startups, e-commerce brands, and SaaS companies worldwide as a Social Media and Growth Marketing Expert, helping them grow their digital presence, engage audiences, and convert attention into revenue. My focus is simple: build strategies that are creative enough to connect and technical enough to perform. Over the last few years, I’ve helped brands like Verdent Skincare, Zen Living Canada, Big Moe’s Diner (USA), and Asset Avenue Capital (UK) achieve measurable growth through performance-focused social media systems. Verdent Skincare scaled from zero to a consistent six-figure annual revenue within 12 months using a Meta Ads and influencer funnel strategy. Zen Living Canada doubled inbound leads through a hybrid of SEO content and paid social. Big Moe’s Diner saw a 4x engagement boost on TikTok and a 38% lift in local traffic through geo-targeted video campaigns. Asset Avenue Capital increased B2B leads by 62% using LinkedIn and automated email workflows. Here’s what clients often say: “They don’t just grow our followers, they grow our business.” “Every post has a purpose and a measurable outcome.” “I finally have a marketing partner who thinks strategically.” If you’re hiring a Social Media and Growth Marketing Expert on Upwork, here’s exactly what to expect working with me: - Social Media Management: End-to-end Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn growth using trend-driven, data-informed strategies. - Content Strategy and Creation: High-performing short-form video, carousels, and ad creatives that blend storytelling with analytics. - Paid Ads and Campaign Optimization: Meta and Google Ads designed for ROI, retargeting, and conversion tracking. - Audience Growth Systems: Organic reach building, influencer collaborations, and community management that actually drive results. • Performance Reporting: Transparent analytics dashboards and actionable insights to show what’s working, and what isn’t. Every brand I work with gets more than just posts or ads. You get a clear growth system built around your goals, voice, and audience. My approach combines creative direction with performance science, so your brand feels authentic while scaling efficiently. If you’re a founder, startup team, or brand owner ready to transform your social media into a growth engine, let’s connect. I’ll help you find your voice, grow your audience, and turn engagement into conversions.

I work with founders and leadership teams that are building something new or trying to reach the next stage of growth. Some clients need help defining a go-to-market strategy. Others are building a marketing function, launching a new service, creating a partner program, implementing a CRM, or preparing to hire their first sales team. My role is to quickly understand the business, identify what's getting in the way, and help build a practical path forward. Over the past 20+ years, I've worked across marketing strategy, commercial planning, partnerships, branding, CRM implementation, marketing automation, business development, and sales enablement. I enjoy solving complex business problems that cross multiple disciplines rather than working in a single marketing channel. Recent engagements include: • Built the commercial strategy, service packaging, consultant referral program, and agency partner program for an AI software company before hiring its sales team. The partner-led motion generated 83% of first-year revenue. • Built and launched the marketing department for a B2B company, hired and trained the team, and helped develop a new service line that generated approximately $87,000 in its first six months. • Redesigned the CRM architecture and customer journey for a healthcare education company, creating email and SMS campaigns generating more than $10,000 per month. • Helped expand a construction company's strategic partnerships and market presence during growth from $48 million to $60 million in annual revenue. • Developed more than 60 branded, bilingual, HIPAA-compliant Formstack workflows for a federally qualified health center. If you're looking for someone who can step into a growing business, make sense of complex challenges, and help build a strategy your team can execute, I'd be glad to talk.
