AI-First Growth Practitioner

I BUILD, TEST, AND SHARE WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

Most SEO content is recycled theory from people who haven't touched a crawl in years. This is different. I test AI tools, build automation workflows, break things, and share what I learn — with input from real practitioners, not just my own opinions.

SEO is the foundation. AI is the lever. This site is the workspace where it all happens in public.

WHY THE OLD PLAYBOOK
DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

01/

Keywords are table stakes. The game is entities, topical authority, and being the source that AI systems trust enough to cite. If you're still stuffing keywords into H2s, you're optimizing for 2019.

02/

AI Overviews and LLM citations are the new Page 1. If your brand isn't the answer when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity, you're invisible to a growing share of your audience.

03/

Experience beats theory. E-E-A-T isn't just a Google acronym — it's the filter AI systems use to decide who gets cited. Real practice, real data, real proof of work.

psychology The AI-First Thesis

"Everyone's talking about AI changing search. I'd rather show you what's actually working — and what's bullshit — by building it myself and sharing the receipts."

BEYOND THE TERMINAL

When I'm not building AI workflows or arguing about schema markup, I'm somewhere analog. I believe the best growth strategies come from people who think about more than just growth.
