relgrowth is a new side project through which I build and share 100% free SEO tools and articles. This is my way of giving back to the SEO community, as well as a means of experimenting with new technologies.

At FlixBus I have assumed the role of Technical SEO Manager in which I, amongst other tasks, focus on innovative navigation structures, website speed, on-page diversification, implementing semantics (Schema.org), network integrations in online maps providers, in-house tool building and driving new web technologies such as AMP and PWA.

Story Shack is an illustrated flash fiction e-zine which I develop and edit. It features work from collaborating authors and illustrators as well as writing tools, and has been praised for its unique contribution to the creative community. This project teaches me more every day about successful web development, editing, publishing, writing, communication and planning. It was recently converted into a full PWAMP (Progressive Web AMP), a mixture between cutting-edge technologies AMP and PWA.

At OMMAX I worked as a Search Engine Optimization consultant. My responsibilities included research and analysis, strategy planning, link acquisition and link risk minimization, as well as webmaster tasks (CMS management, HTML/CSS) and the creation of editorial content. In this role I have also played a key role in three successful digital due diligence projects as research manager.

Together with Macao-based American photographer David Hartung I worked on culinary magazine 'Tasting Kitchen', assisting in a wide range of photography-related activities. This position has taught me much about the technical aspects of professional photography, as well as client communication.

Spaceboy Films was my own film and video production company which specialized in delivering quality content made with a passion that showed up in its productions. The main aim was to produce beautiful film and video while maintaining the enthusiasm and spirit that dragged me into the industry in the first place. Spaceboy Films has taught me much about producing, directing, camera operation, video editing and entrepreneurship.

Marketing, storytelling, filmmaking & web development.
