The Fixer. Code, Design, Revenue.
Glitchy garbage in, ghost revenue out. I reverse it.
Ten years in marketing, advertising, sales, customer service, and design led me to tech five years ago. From my marketing days, I saw ideas flop because marketers didn't grasp tech limits; now from the dev side, the same issue. Marketing needs tech know-how to deliver.
I build reliable custom sites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, TypeScript. WordPress/Elementor/WooCommerce work okay for static pages, portfolios, or simple blogs, not for much else. Custom code is better for something bigger, like e-commerce.
A DevOps job opportunity added Kubernetes, DigitalOcean, and Grafana to my life, so I learned how a site could handle traffic spikes without data leaks.
Users lost or leaving? Figma prototypes translate straight to code, packed with SEO (microdata, fast loads), plus Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects files that make devs' lives easier. Basic cybersecurity notions help me flag vulnerabilities early, secure forms, and improve organic search rankings.
Traffic disappears? Google Analytics and Hotjar show where; I use Google Ads and Meta Ads to target better and boost real revenue.
Deep in OSINT and digital forensics studies, always learning to better handle code, design, business challenges. I'll never know it all, and that's fine.
