Full-Stack AI Engineer and Digital Operator

I'm an e-commerce and digital marketing professional with hands-on experience building and scaling online businesses from the ground up. Whether managing international paid media at a national brand or architecting a Shopify storefront with custom auction workflows, I bring both strategic thinking and ground-level execution to everything I work on.

My background covers paid media, email marketing, SEO, marketplace operations, and full-cycle e-commerce management. I've worked across Meta, Google, Klaviyo, Shopify, and eBay, and I know how to connect those tools into a system that actually converts.

I am a Full-Stack AI Engineer. I have been working with large language models and image generators since 2022, originally to produce content for my own brands. Waywardthird.com is the live showcase for that work: every image and every piece of copy on the site is AI-generated, and the site itself was built drag-and-drop on Shopify.

Building the Newtopias and Wayward Third sites taught me how digital products are structured from the inside out. In 2025 I extended that foundation into AI-assisted web development, using coding agents like Claude and ChatGPT to design and ship more complex, more polished landing pages and full websites. AI does not replace my technical judgment; it amplifies it. The result is the ability to research, prototype, and deliver work that would typically require an entire team.

Outside of client and contract work, I run my own eBay reselling operation under the Wayward Traderz brand and create content for Wayward Third, a personal brand active across the web, Twitter/X, and social media.
