From hand-coding websites to engineering AI agents generating quality pages at scale, I’ve been turning technical innovation into online visibility and business growth for nearly three decades. I built my first websites in Notepad, validated them in Lynx, and optimized them for Webcrawler and Lycos. Today I help Fortune 500 companies and major non-profits navigate the latest evolutions in search technology — consistently delivering solutions that drive real revenue growth and visibility.
