About

I'm a Growth & SEO specialist with 5+ years of experience scaling organic acquisition for digital products — but increasingly, my focus has shifted toward a bigger question: how AI systems shape what people find, trust, and act on. As large language models become the primary interface for discovery, AI visibility stops being a marketing problem. It becomes a question about how information ecosystems function at scale — who gets surfaced, what gets trusted, and what incentives shape AI-generated answers. My background in philosophy (epistemology, philosophy of science) shapes how I think about these questions. Combined with hands-on experience in SEO, CRO, and growth experimentation, I'm exploring where this intersection can have the most meaningful impact.
