I'm a technical marketer, and here's how I can help your company:

- Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).

- Turn more visitors into users (aka, conversion optimization).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

- I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

- I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

- I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems (by "real" I mean things that directly impact your revenue).
