I help businesses build, scale, and optimize high-performing partnership ecosystems and affiliate programs. By combining programmatic SEO with technical marketing, I build channels that drive compound organic revenue without reliance on spiraling ad spend.
I am a Senior Affiliate Program Manager with 7+ years of hands-on experience scaling platforms across Impact.com, ShareASale, PartnerStack, and CJ Affiliate. As a computer science graduate, I specialize in the intersection of engineering and growth—leveraging Programmatic SEO and AI Automation to build programmatic traffic pipelines that convert into scalable affiliate partnerships.
Most businesses scatter energy across every channel at once, diluting their budget and impact. A clear, disciplined order of execution compounds growth and increases returns.
The basics done right: a clear, credible identity and value proposition that every other channel stands on. Without trust, traffic is wasted.
SEO done properly: establishing organic authority and ranking for high-intent search queries to build sustainable demand without paid dependency.
Credible brand plus search authority opens doors: recruit partners, launch scalable programs, and compound growth with performance-based payout models.
Paid works best once there is something worth amplifying: use advertising to multiply conversions on proven pathways, yielding significantly higher ROI.
"Each step strengthens the next. The discipline is in following the sequence, not skipping to the exciting parts."
Identifying, securing, and scaling high-value brand-to-brand, influencer, and media partnerships that open up non-competitive referral traffic.
Full-funnel program operations: set up custom commission tiers, recruit affiliates, integrate platforms (Impact, PartnerStack), audit logs, and combat click fraud.
Database-driven SEO landing page systems paired with automated partner pipelines, signal-based outreach, sequencing, and CRM sync built with Make.com, n8n, and scraper APIs.
Starting from zero? I design your program from the ground up: platform selection, commission structure, tracking setup, and first-wave partner recruitment. So it's revenue-ready from day one.
A deep-dive health check on your existing program: fraud detection, fragmented tracking, dead-weight partners, and payout leaks with a clear, prioritized action plan to fix them.
A B2B SaaS platform had flatlined at $10,000/month in affiliate revenue with fragmented manual tracking and low partner retention.
Migrated operations to PartnerStack, restructured commission tiers to incentivize recurring value, and launched automated affiliate recruitment campaigns targeting niche tech reviewers.
Scaled monthly recurring revenue from affiliates to $120,000/month within 12 months, achieving a stable 4.2x ROI on the partner program.
A scaling retail brand experienced high affiliate payout claims with stagnant net sales, indicating coupon-hijacking browser extensions and click fraud.
Conducted a complete audit of the ShareASale and CJ Affiliate programs. Cleared out bad-actor browser extension publishers and implemented automated IP fraud filters and alert systems.
Reduced fraudulent click volume by 34%, saved the client $18,000/month in illegitimate commissions, and immediately increased program ROI. Read our click fraud prevention guide →
