About Me.

2016 US Search Award Nominee. Global Head of SEO & Organic Strategy @ Square. Former Team Lead SEO Consulting @ Searchmetrics, Inc.

I am a Search Engine Optimization professional currently working at Square, the leading mobile payment system. I have lead SEO project which resulted in double-digit organic traffic growth thanks to sound practices and a deep technical and semantic content optimization understanding.
Aside from my work at Square, I personally help startups nationwide with setting up and kick-starting their organic search efforts.
I have a deep technical understanding of HTML/CSS, Javascript and how it all relates to better optimize your site for Google to crawl. Besides being technical, I love digging into analytics data to interpret and shape the story it tells.
Over the years I have been gaining a deeper understanding of semantic content optimization. I love learning and testing how search engines look at word relationship, how to better use TF*IDF, and how machine learning & AI can better improve content & search relevance.
I am a regular contributor to the Searchmetrics blog, as well as Searchmetrics webinars. I have also hosted topic tables at SearchLove Boston & San Diego talking about various topics on machine learning and semantic content optimization.
