I help founders ship and scale products. Most of my clients come to me with a half-formed idea, no clear MVP scope, and a deadline that's already slipped once. What I bring is rare on Upwork: I've actually co-founded and scaled products, not just consulted on them. I'm a co-founder of Bezen, a Pinterest-style fashion marketplace that grew to 100K+ users in under 2 years — one of the fastest-growing startups in our market. I also co-founded an ed-tech learning platform with a 17-person team, and worked as a Prompt Engineer at Scale AI fine-tuning LLMs across 11 companies. What I do for clients: - MVP scoping — turn a vague idea into a shippable feature list, prioritized roadmap, and 30/60/90 plan - Marketplace & two-sided platform work — supply-side onboarding, growth loops, monetization - AI product features — scoping LLM use cases, prompt strategy, build-vs-buy decisions - Market & customer research — competitor analysis, customer segmentation, user interview synthesis Track record on Upwork: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 21+ projects, 1,500+ hours, $30K+ earned. Most clients book a free 15-min call first to scope the work. If we're a fit, I send a written proposal with milestones the same day. If we're not, I'll tell you and point you somewhere better. Open to hourly ($40/hr) or fixed-price. Available 30+ hrs/week, US Pacific time.

Before you hire SEO, social media managers, or copywriters, get clear on what you need to say. I help founders, thinkers, and experts translate complex ideas into messaging that works online. If you’re at that stage, let’s talk. My work sits at the intersection of messaging strategy, content systems, and strategic copy. I help you define your positioning and translate it into structured messaging that works across websites, long-form content, and search. For me, high-quality content is accessible, engaging, and genuinely useful — the kind that earns attention, builds trust, and performs over time. And it starts with clarity. Because when the message isn’t clear, producing more content doesn’t solve the problem. Early in my career, I focused on writing. Over time, I realized that content alone doesn’t drive growth — clear positioning does. Today, I help brands define what they stand for and translate that clarity into messaging that works across the digital ecosystem. Your brand already has a voice and personality. I help you clarify, structure, and communicate it consistently so that both people and search systems understand it. I also provide the structure that allows you to scale content without losing its essence. My academic training focused on how humans and machines process information. Combined with a background in journalism, spokesperson work, and technology sales, it gives me a practical understanding of how businesses think, how buyers evaluate decisions, and how information is interpreted online. I don’t believe in fluff. I’m allergic to spam marketing. My joy is organizing complex ideas into messaging that is strategic, human, and clear.

I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Oregon in 2012. My comprehensive exam area was in Quantitative Methodology (Statistics, Survey Research, Data Collection). Sometimes people ask "Oh, you aren't actually using your Ph.D.?" because I am not working in academia. The fact is: Doing web development and business analysis, I use those sociological skills and training all day long, every day. I think one thing that sets me apart from others is that when I do an audit of a Google Ads account, for example, I can just eyeball the numbers, do the math in my head, and see the patterns in the keywords and conversion rates right away. I can then immediately translate that data into actionable (and profitable) business intelligence. So, yes, I use my Ph.D. I ran my own business from 2004 - 2018 with a variety of business models - grossing over $1 million in revenue in 2008 alone. During that time, I also hosted several popular trivia nights at local bars and pubs. I wrote a few bestselling trivia books under my pen/stage name, Dr. Seven Phoenix. You can check them out on Amazon if you want. Nowadays, I work for "The Man".... trading in the security and reliability of a steady paycheck over the feast and famine (and stress) of running my own company.
