What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical SEO roles where I can lead cross-functional teams, solve high-complexity rendering and performance issues, build data-driven reporting, and drive measurable organic growth for large-scale, multi-domain platforms.

I am a commercially-focused Senior Technical SEO strategist with over 16 years' experience delivering organic growth for large, multi-domain platforms and global brands. I specialise in technical, onsite and content SEO, scaling SEO operations, resolving complex rendering and Core Web Vitals challenges, and turning advanced data analysis into measurable business value.

I have led cross-functional delivery teams, managed senior stakeholders, and built bespoke reporting and remediation frameworks for clients including eBay, Dell, eToro and major UK comparison sites. I regularly present industry thought leadership and leverage log-file analysis, custom scripting and SEO tooling to prioritise high-impact fixes and sustain long-term organic performance.
