I've been crushing it on Upwork since 2012 (back when dinosaurs still roamed Elance). For over a decade, I perfected the art of "fully organic" human writing—research, strategy, SEO optimization, the whole nine yards. Then AI showed up and changed everything. Now? I'm a prompt engineering ninja who creates high-converting B2B content at lightning speed using AI. Think of me as the translator between your business goals and Claude's brain. I know exactly how to make AI write content that sounds human, ranks well, and actually makes your phone ring. Hot take: People who judge content by how it was made instead of whether it works remind me of folks who won't buy lab-grown diamonds—same brilliance, zero ethical baggage, but somehow the "natural" version is worth more? I'm here for clients who care about results, not romanticizing the process. So here's the deal: DON'T hire me if you want traditional human writing. Seriously. Unless you need something AI genuinely can't handle (like custom software documentation for your proprietary platform, hands-on product tutorials that require actual screenshots and testing, or highly technical manuals that need a human to physically interact with your system), I'm probably not your guy for pure human work anymore. The last thing I need is you sending me strongly worded rebukes accompanied by screenshots from GPTZero! DO hire me if you want AI-generated content that doesn't suck. I specialize in prompting AI to create: • Web copy that converts visitors into leads • Blog posts that rank AND read naturally • Email sequences that people actually open • eBooks and white papers that establish authority • Landing pages that make your competitors jealous My superpowers: topic research, content strategy, SEO optimization, and knowing exactly what prompts will make AI produce gold instead of garbage. The receipts: The most relevant AI-related experience I can share is my work as an AI-assisted blog writer for Maverick (an AI e-commerce software). [see my portfolio for the link to their blog page] PS: As a “fully organic” human writer, I delivered winning blog content for 30+ B2B clients including SelectSoftware Reviews, Robocorp, Wise (formerly TransferWise), TouchBistro, NapoleonCat, and a bunch of other awesome companies. What I'm looking for: Full-time gigs (30+ hours/week) as Head of Content or similar roles where I can build your entire content engine using AI efficiency. Also open to part-time (10-20 hours/week) or one-off projects. Bottom line: If you want content created the old-school way, I respect that… but hire someone else. If you want content created the smart way (fast, scalable, and still high-quality), let's talk.
