About fightfortheuser

Technical consultant. And I work with clients to help them make more sales and to decrease their costs.

Current focus is email marketing automation, and making websites that convert really, really, well.

Recently I swtiched from doing full-stack development work, and building webapps.

Happy to talk about freelancing, consulting, how to charge more, and business in general.
