Bio

I am a search engine and eCommerce optimization specialist with over 15 years of experience helping businesses grow their online revenue. My work focuses on strategic website optimizations to enhance the visibility and performance of online stores across major search engines like Google and Yahoo. I utilize a combination of advanced techniques, including improving website speed, manual link-building strategies, and leveraging AI tools to create dynamic, engaging content.

Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with a diverse range of clients—from small businesses to mid-sized enterprises and large corporations. I’ve built an extensive portfolio showcasing my expertise in website design, development, and data-driven eCommerce strategies. By focusing on SEO, data analytics, and UI/UX optimization, I ensure that the platforms I manage perform at their best, driving traffic, conversions, and sustainable growth.

In addition to my professional work, I have also developed personal projects, including blogs and an online retail platform specializing in website hosting and domain services. Outside of my career, I am passionate about giving back to the community. I volunteer at the Ventura County Animal Shelter (VCAS) in California, where I care for rescued large-breed dogs.

With a focus on innovation, dedication, and delivering measurable results, I am committed to driving success in every project I undertake, whether for clients or my personal initiatives.

Interests

I’m just a big dog lover who’s blessed to be able to use my love for animals for good. Specifically my affinity for large breed dogs as I’m able to volunteer at my local animal shelter (Ventura County Animal Shelter, VCAS) to help those animals who have been lost, displaced or abandoned by their owners. I’ve completed by Level 3 dog training & certification, giving me the prerequisites and authority to walk the most agressive dogs at the entire shelter. (ie: German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, etc…)

WordPress Origin Story

My journey with WordPress began in 2009 while working at VoicePrint International, where we adopted WordPress to manage the company’s blog. Over the years, I continued to explore its capabilities, eventually deepening my expertise and developing my own custom WordPress plugin: Contact Form Lead Export (CFLE).

Designed to integrate seamlessly with the widely-used Contact Form 7 plugin, CFLE empowers users to efficiently manage lead and subscriber data. The plugin enables the import and export of XML files, storing form submissions directly within the WordPress database. This functionality allows for streamlined organization and retrieval of data from any Contact Form 7 forms across the website.

This experience marked a turning point in my career, solidifying my passion for WordPress development and showcasing my ability to create tailored solutions to enhance functionality and improve user experience.
