Senior Technical Marketer
About Me
I am a self-directed senior technical marketer with a passion for building innovative AI marketing systems that drive measurable business results. In 2018, I created ABBI, an AI marketing system that generated over $1 million in revenue and achieved three #1 Google search term results within its first year. I also developed ROOT, an AI-powered CRM system that integrates data enrichment, AEO optimization, voice-command email campaign generation, and advanced network analysis to identify super connectors.
My expertise lies at the intersection of technology and marketing. I am comfortable reading code, writing compelling copy, and shipping experiments independently without relying on traditional ticket queues. Over the years, I have founded Bakas Media and co-founded Flowsent, where I served as CMO and built AI-native marketing chatbots and software products.
I have worked with enterprise clients such as British Airways, the Australian Government, and the University of Oregon, delivering social media strategies, omni-channel marketing plans, and AI-driven solutions that significantly increase engagement and sales. My experience also includes leading marketing functions for blockchain projects, NFT launches, and mobile payment startups.
I am skilled in designing brand messaging, growth engines, and data governance protocols that enable data-driven decision-making. I emphasize launch planning with a focus on branding, messaging, network effects, A/B testing, funnel optimization, and KPI measurement to maximize marketing impact.
Throughout my career, I have leveraged tools such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Claude Code, ChatGPT API, Adobe Creative Suite, and various web technologies to build scalable marketing systems and SaaS applications. I am committed to continuous learning and innovation in the evolving landscape of AI and technical marketing.
