## About

```text
At SLAY Nicotine Pouches, I built the marketing operation from launch and created a Claude-powered creative engine that increased output from about four to 30–40 Meta ad variants a week. That testing system nearly halved blended Meta CPA, from £110 to £60.

I also worked on SLAY’s Shopify site rebuild, adding new offers and in-cart upsells as conversion rose from 0.18% to 1.62%. Before SLAY, I co-founded CartelSoftware and built a full-funnel acquisition engine that reached 123 paying accounts.
