Built the complete digital presence for an independent Austin record label — artist showcases, release catalogs, booking system, and fan engagement, all managed without a CMS or ongoing developer support.

  • Booking inquiries route to the right department automatically — no manual sorting
  • Social content updates in real-time without anyone touching the site

Complete systems that drive revenue, reduce costs, and run without babysitting.

Systems that handle lead qualification, content creation, and customer support around the clock — so your team focuses on high-value work instead of repetitive tasks. Already deployed across multiple businesses, saving thousands of hours annually.

AI-Powered Products

Products that use AI to make smart decisions — classifying leads, routing support tickets, generating personalized content, and summarizing data. Not prototypes — these are live and delivering results today.

Complete Web Platforms

Full business platforms with user accounts, payments, dashboards, and reporting — ready for customers on day one. Built to launch fast and scale as the business grows.

Built-In Analytics & ROI Tracking

Every system I build ships with tracking from day one — so you know exactly what's working, what's converting, and where to invest next. No guesswork, no waiting for reports.

The Playbook

How I lead marketing teams, manage budgets, and drive revenue — the operational backbone behind the technical execution.

Strategy & Go-to-Market

I build the plan before building the campaign — aligning business goals, audience research, and competitive positioning into a clear roadmap.

Go-to-Market Planning Brand Positioning Competitive Analysis Market Research Annual Strategy

Budget & Revenue Ownership

Every dollar tracked, every campaign accountable. I've managed $20K–$100K+/month in ad spend and tied every line item back to revenue.

Full-funnel execution across every channel that moves the needle — from organic search to paid acquisition to retention.

SEO / AIO Google & Meta Ads Content Strategy Email Automation CRO & A/B Testing

Data & Executive Reporting

I report in business outcomes, not vanity metrics. Dashboards, attribution models, and review cadences that give leadership exactly what they need to make decisions.

KPI Frameworks GA4 & GTM Attribution Modeling Executive Dashboards Weekly / Monthly / QBRs

Cross-Functional Operations

Marketing doesn't work in a silo. I align with sales on pipeline, coordinate with product on launches, and partner with engineering on the systems that power it all.

Sales Alignment (MQL → SQL → Close) Product Launch Coordination Engineering Collaboration Vendor Evaluation Process Optimization

How I Work

Every project starts with the business goal and ends with measurable results.

01

Understand the Business Goal

What's costing too much? What's too slow? Where are you losing customers or revenue? I start with the problem, not the technology.

02

Design the Solution End-to-End

Before building anything, I map out how the system will work — what it needs to do, how users interact with it, and how it connects to the rest of your business.

03

Build with AI Where It Matters

I use AI to build faster and embed it into the product where it creates real value — automating decisions, personalizing experiences, and eliminating manual work.

04

Launch with Tracking Built In

Every system goes live with analytics and conversion tracking from day one — so you can see results immediately, not weeks later.

05

Improve Based on Real Data

After launch, real user behavior and performance data tell us what to optimize next. Every improvement is based on evidence, not assumptions.

Where I Fit Best

The roles and teams where I create the most impact — and where I'm looking next.

Product & Engineering Leadership

I own the full lifecycle — user research, design, development, launch, and optimization. Ideal for Product Engineer, Senior Web Developer, or Founding Engineer roles where one person needs to do the work of three.

Marketing & Growth Teams

I build the systems marketing teams depend on — SEO/AIO strategy, conversion-optimized sites, analytics pipelines, and campaign infrastructure. Looking for Marketing Director, Growth Lead, or SEO/AIO roles where technical execution meets business strategy.

AI-Forward Companies

Organizations using AI to ship better products, automate operations, and outpace competitors. I bring production AI experience — not just prompts, but deployed systems generating real revenue today.

Startups That Ship Fast

Early and growth-stage teams that need velocity, ownership, and someone who can go from whiteboard to production without waiting for three other departments. I've built companies — I know what matters.

How I Move This Fast

My Claude Code Operating System

This is why I deliver in days what typically takes weeks. I've built a complete AI-powered workflow system around Anthropic's Claude Code — connecting every tool, process, and data source into a single command center that lets me design, build, test, and deploy at startup speed.

Claude Code Operating System — 6-domain architecture wheel

Knowledge Base

Every project's standards, documentation, and best practices are loaded automatically — nothing gets lost between sessions.

DocumentationStandards

AI Team Members

Specialized AI agents handle architecture, quality assurance, and project management tasks — like having a full team in one terminal.

ArchitectureQuality

Connected Tools

Google Drive, Jira, GitHub, Gmail, and Slack all connected directly — AI reads and acts on real business data in real time.

Live DataIntegrations

Project Controls

Each project gets its own safety rules, permissions, and AI configuration — tuned for the specific work being done.

Memory & Playbooks

The AI remembers project context across sessions and follows reusable playbooks — consistent quality without re-explaining every time.

One-Command Workflows

Complex multi-step processes — planning, reviews, deployments — triggered with a single command. Hours of work in seconds.

Most people use AI as a chatbot. I've built it into an operating system. Every project starts with full context already loaded — standards, history, and business rules. My AI tools connect directly to the platforms your business already uses — email, project management, source code, documents. And specialized AI agents handle the work that used to require a full team: architecture reviews, quality checks, deployment pipelines. The result? I deliver at startup speed with enterprise-grade quality — because the system does the heavy lifting.
