I’m an SEO specialist with ~3 years of experience across agency (Studio Hawk) and freelancing, covering technical SEO, on-page, content, eCommerce, and local SEO. I’ve also moved into building AI systems and automations in operations roles, applying SEO fundamentals alongside GEO/AI search. I focus on where traditional SEO and AI-driven search intersect—staying visible in both, and tying organic performance back to measurable pipeline outcomes. My strongest areas are technical SEO and research-backed content briefs, with a heavy emphasis on E-E-A-T, information architecture, and repeatable automation.

Ran full AI-driven audits and rebuilt the entire operational document set via a scripted, correctness-guarded pipeline that turns findings into a prioritized, tracked backlog.

Built the full SEO foundation including technical setup (canonicalization, product schema, metadata, site structure), on-page optimization, and internal information architecture for linking. Balanced UX, conversion, and on-page SEO in a health/wellness (YMYL) context, where trust and E-E-A-T signals matter.

Wrote research-backed content briefs for writers, structuring content around search intent and topical authority. Directed link-building strategy for client portfolios and coordinated a dedicated link-building team to run campaigns aligned to each client’s goals.
