I help eCommerce and SaaS brands scale revenue by bridging the gap between high-level behavioral strategy and deep technical execution. If you are tired of agencies that play "whack-a-mole" with reactive fixes, talk endlessly about "best practices," and leave your team with bottlenecks, we are a match. I don't sell stories. I build proactive, invisible machines that generate predictable momentum. My Core Philosophy: Technical Empathy True optimization lives where hard data meets human psychology. I structure digital ecosystems to satisfy search bots while leveraging behavioral science to convert human users. 📈 My War Chest of Results: Enterprise Crisis Resolution: Diagnosed and fixed a critical CDN indexing error for a major telecom brand, driving 60% YoY organic growth post-fix. Revenue Impact: Orchestrated a high-converting campaign strategy that generated over $121k in sales in a single weekend. Consistent B2B Growth: Achieved 40.2% growth in clicks and 53.2% growth in impressions for a B2B SaaS client in Year 1. 🚀 How I Engineer Revenue: 1. Data Forensics & Custom Technical Audits Proprietary Frameworks: I integrate GSC API data, crawl data, and query analysis into custom models to instantly eliminate index bloat and budget waste. Python Automation: I utilize Jupyter Notebooks (pandas, advertools) to analyze large-scale datasets and automate insights that manual checks inevitably miss. Complex Migrations: Flawless management of canonicalization, hreflang for international setups, and intricate 301 redirect mapping to preserve your hard-earned link equity. 2. Behavioral Optimization & Fractional Growth Psychology-First SEO & AI visibility optimization: I align keyword strategy with user intent and psychological conversion triggers, mapping content to how the human brain actually processes information and seeks closure. Advanced Tracking: Custom dashboards in Looker Studio and GA4 to track AI referral traffic, zero-click behavior, and true ROI—giving you empirical clarity, not vanity metrics. Operational Flow: I build ironclad SOPs and automated systems (ClickUp/Asana) so your in-house team can execute my strategy seamlessly without me holding their hand. ⚙️ Tech Stack: Analysis & Forensics: Python (Pandas/Advertools), Screaming Frog, GSC API, ahrefs, SEMrush. Enterprise CMS: WordPress, AEM, Shopify, Magento, Systeme. Operations & BI: Looker Studio, GA4, ClickUp, Asana. I am highly selective with the consulting partnerships I take on. I look for founders and executives who are ready to stop playing small, move past standard agency fluff, and start engineering revenue. Let’s discuss your growth targets.
