I've worked the intersection of editorial, marketing, operations, and AI-native product — as a contributor, a manager, an operator, a strategist, and a builder.

Baltimore, MD · AI-first content studio. Solo operator. Two production SaaS products in market.

• Solo-built and operates two production AI-native SaaS products — TickerSpark (financial intelligence) and OfficePoll (anonymous workplace feedback) — plus the AI-powered chatbot on this portfolio site itself.
• TickerSpark: subscription SaaS with paying users across Free / Pro / Platinum / Lifetime tiers. In-house research-report generator running 21 parallel tool calls, conversational AI analyst with quick/deep modes, brokerage portfolio integration with 100+ brokers, 5-persona content voice system, weekly macro content cadence.
• OfficePoll: anonymous workplace feedback B2B SaaS — 70+ migrations, 74 API routes, 60+ React components. Anonymization pipeline that doubles as the trust narrative. AI Career Coach grounded in 10 evidence-based coaching frameworks. Wrote the entire marketing site and long-form blog.
• Built dual-mode Stripe integration, SnapTrade brokerage integration with HMAC-signed webhooks, Vercel Cron orchestration, custom internal /ops dashboard with MRR/ARR tracking.

Baltimore, MD · Independent financial publisher generating $20M+ in annual online revenue.

• Built three cross-departmental AI/process systems using the same playbook — modular AI editorial pipeline (33% output lift; articles immediately ranked in Google News where the human-only content never had), the company's first centralized marketing-ops function (per-writer output up 50% on a half-sized team, 6 → 3 copywriters with output held), and the customer service team's first decision-tree conversation framework. All three still in production years later.
• Built the company's internal modular prompt library; ran department-level training across editorial, marketing, customer service, and fulfillment.
• Coached and managed Angel's internal copywriting team plus a roster of external freelance copywriters. Mentored writers who went on to senior roles at NerdWallet and The Motley Fool.
• Contributed to growing Angel from $8M to $30M+ in annual online revenue at peak.

Baltimore, MD · Newsletter launches, direct-response promotional campaigns.

• Launched Technology and Opportunity from zero in 2013 — Angel's flagship investment newsletter at the intersection of public-market investing and emerging technology. Became one of the company's top revenue franchises and remains a top product at Angel today. Plus the binary-events sister publication Topline Trader. Combined: 60,000+ active paying subscribers grown from scratch.
• Wrote *Death of the iPhone*, the breakout direct-response promotional campaign for *Technology and Opportunity*. First T&O campaign to graduate from lead-gen to immediate name-gen distribution on partner networks — the higher-value tier where networks pay per acquired customer. Set company records in net revenue, lifetime revenue, and customer acquisition.
• Twelve years of long-form financial copy graded against hard conversion KPIs.

Remote · 500K+ subscriber YouTube finance channel.

• Off-camera scripting and deep-dive research for a 500K+ subscriber YouTube finance channel (hosted by the channel's founder). Individual scripts hit up to 500K views per video.
• Multi-channel content strategy across YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and email — every piece of research repurposed across formats.
• Built Python automations to aggregate and normalize semiconductor market data, cutting manual research time roughly 40%.
