How I Work
Data before opinions
Every decision starts from the funnel: where are users dropping, what's converting, what's actually profitable. No vanity metrics, no cargo-cult tactics.
Ship weekly, learn weekly
Small, continuous experiments beat big bets. I run a monthly experimentation cadence and track learnings, not just wins, to compound over time.
AI-assisted building
I build landing pages, tools and automations with AI-assisted development (Lovable, Cursor, n8n). Faster iteration, lower cost, same quality.
Full-funnel thinking
Acquisition doesn't stop at the click. I work across Paid, SEO, Lifecycle and Product to align the entire funnel toward retention and LTV, not just CAC.
Looking for the right startup to compound growth with.
Currently taking on fractional growth engagements for B2C and B2B startups.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear what you're building.
