I’m Felip Gerdes, a UC San Diego political science graduate who blends research, writing, and technical problem-solving to help organizations communicate clearly and reach the right audiences. I’ve worked across content, marketing, and user-focused support—building SEO-driven, science-backed articles and improving publishing workflows to reduce costs and speed up delivery. I also bring a practical IT and automation mindset. In addition to supporting large user bases with troubleshooting and documentation, I’ve built Python-based web-scraping workflows to streamline repetitive processes. I enjoy turning complex topics—like health science, policy topics, and technical systems—into accessible outcomes for real people, whether through writing, support, or structured data pipelines.
