Summary
Technical SEO and marketing technologist with a producer's eye. In 12 years at TeamGantt, a project management SaaS company, I went from video producer to running technical SEO. I grew the YouTube channel from under 500 to more than 14,000 subscribers, then led the marketing site's migration from Webflow to Astro as project manager, cutting crawl errors from 155 to 1, halving page weight and automating structured data.
I work best where marketing meets engineering. My background runs from lab-equipment support to live production engineering, so I'm comfortable picking up whatever system the problem lives in.
Experience
Marketing & Technical SEO
2024 to 2026TeamGantt
- Led the migration and redesign of the marketing site from Webflow to Astro with a headless Storyblok CMS as project manager, in about 10 weeks: scoped it, secured buy-in across the marketing team, and kept marketing and engineering aligned from planning through launch.
- Cut crawl errors from 155 to 1 and halved page weight. Pages with oversized or unminified JavaScript and CSS went from 340+ to zero, the SEO health score rose from 79 to 93 (SE Ranking), and structured data is now generated automatically on every page.
- Launched clean: zero missing meta descriptions (from 48), duplicate titles (from 33), missing H1s (from 34) and orphaned pages (from 98), with an XML sitemap free of redirects and noindexed URLs.
- Set up a new publishing model: marketers change content directly in Storyblok, while design and structural changes run through AI agents, cutting the team's dependence on design for routine page updates.
- Built automated AI performance briefs: a daily brief that analyzed the previous day's numbers, triaged issues and recommended prioritized actions, plus a Friday brief with the weekly picture.
- Designed and ran A/B split tests to lift conversion, including a test on the /signup page.
- Owned the post-launch punch list as a GitHub Issues backlog.
Video Producer

- Grew the company YouTube channel from under 500 to more than 14,000 subscribers, with a content plan built on SEO and keyword research to drive traffic to the marketing site and grow sign-ups.
- Produced more than 300 videos, owning production end to end from concept and scripting through lighting, audio, filming and post, across formats from single-presenter tutorials to narrative ad campaigns.
- Edited and produced the Time Limit Podcast and Coffee with Brett, a weekly YouTube series filmed remotely.
