Growth-focused Full Stack Rails Dev

My Background

I've been working on Rails since 2018, when I started converting my agency Content Harmony into a SaaS platform that I've been working on since.

Beyond that, I've spent the last 15 years of my career working on SEO & content marketing engagements with over 100 clients, and at times with an agency team of 2 to 12 staff. Most of that time was spent focused on large-scale content marketing & digital PR programs with household brands.

I work with a couple clients at a time on growth engineering, marketing, & design-focused engagements for sites built on Rails.

Capabilities

I'm full-stack on Rails and have worked on everything from CI and dependency upgrades to a number of complex full feature builds, but my areas of core expertise are:

• Growth & Product
• SEO & Content Marketing
• Design & UX
• New App Development

Sometimes I work on engagements that are more technical, helping teams sort out technical SEO issues across their site.

Other times they're more product-focused, helping to build out new content and product efforts designed to grow users, traffic, or conversions.
