How I’ll be spending Christmas Day

I have experience building and maintaining large scale programmatic SEO systems, RAG apps, and 10+ years of full stack development.

If you’re interested DM me and we can set up a call!

Started a business in September and then:

- hurricane helene
- surgery on eye
- kid in hospital for 3 days
- biggest client cancelled 1 day after signing

But I’m still here showing up for my customers!

If anyone needs help with AI, SEO at scale, or growth I’d be happy to show up for you too.

if you don't have a product idea:
