Software & Web Development Background

20 years of experience across startups, agencies, and enterprise environments.

While software development is no longer a primary service I offer, this background deeply informs how I approach social media work:

  • Systems thinking — understanding how components fit together and support long-term goals
  • Data-informed decisions — using metrics to guide strategy, not vanity numbers
  • Scalable processes — building workflows that work at small scale and can grow
  • Technical fluency — understanding platforms, tools, analytics, and automation capabilities

Relevant experience includes:

  • Full-stack web development (front-end and back-end)
  • Startup environments where clarity and execution matter more than perfection
  • Enterprise-scale systems where consistency and reliability are critical
  • Building tools and workflows that solve real problems for real users

Why This Matters

The combination of hands-on social media experience and two decades of building systems gives me a perspective that’s different from most in this space.

I understand what makes content work and what makes systems sustainable.

I know how to measure what matters and how to iterate based on what we learn.

And I know the difference between tactical execution and strategic thinking—because I’ve done both, at scale, for a long time.


If this combination of experience resonates with what you’re looking for, let’s talk.
