About

Growth built with product, engineering and analytics.

My work sits where organic acquisition meets the product: website architecture, information architecture and internal linking, structured data and schema markup, crawl optimisation and indexation, programmatic templates, content strategy and conversion optimisation — run as cross-functional programmes rather than isolated campaigns. Explore my areas of expertise and professional case studies.

The same operating model covers marketplace, ecommerce, healthcare, travel, fintech and edtech search, extended to App Store Optimization, YouTube SEO and AI Search (GEO/AEO). I present forecasts, attribution insights and roadmaps to leadership, and I build the measurement that makes those conversations possible.
