Even great marketing teams get bogged down.

Talented people slowed by disconnected tools, broken workflows, and data they can't trust. I design the marketing infrastructure that allows teams to scale.

Three Proprietary Systems

Growing teams hit the same technical walls. I've built production-grade systems to fix three of the most painful: content quality, user tracking, and AI alignment.

The Content Factory

AI hallucinations are a real business risk. My workflow mitigates this by doing verifiable, journalistic research first, then creating a narrative around those citable sources, just like a human would.

The Workflow

The Tracking System

To prevent losing data when customers move between systems, I built reliable analytics that tie every action (over time) directly back to a known user identity, providing clear business insights.

The Solution

The Local AI Studio

Most AI tools just chat, then forget. I built one that reads AND writes to my local files, updating important strategy docs the moment I make a decision. No copy-paste. No lost context.

A Look Behind the Curtain

Standard chatbots have a fatal flaw for professional work: they start from zero every time.

Sure, you can drag and drop your strategy files into the chat window at the start of every session. I did that for months. It works, until you forget one file and the AI builds a strategy based on last month's thinking.

At first I would solve this by building custom GPTs and Gemini Gems pre-loaded with both specific directions and important documents like my brand voice, pricing models, and audience research. This gave the AI the permanent context it needed to generate high-quality outputs.

I come from an SEO background. For 8 years I ran an [[hwyh-archive|SEO and Content Marketing agency]].

I've done enough technical SEO audits and cleaned up enough messy internal link architectures to know that, over time, link rot impacts a LOT of teams.

If you publish content for years and years without a plan for managing and maintaining your internal links, you'll inevitably create dead ends, orphaned pages and links will break.

Observationally, this is all too common. For years, I saw teams treat SEO audits as a reactive cleanup phase. They would publish content, relying on a spreadsheet to...

If you're responsible for a brand's reputation, you're likely facing a challenging paradox. The pressure to scale content and improve efficiency has never been higher, and generative AI is often sold as the silver bullet. Yet, the risk is significant.

The idea of publishing a plausible-sounding AI hallucination is a high-stakes concern. A single, confident-sounding error can erode years of trust.

This isn’t a theoretical problem. I faced this challenge while architecting the content pipeline for GetViajo.com. The engineering constraint was severe: I needed to produce high-volume, expert-level content to seed the platform, but I could not compromise on accuracy...

About Me

I'm Justin, a Bay Area native who's been living in Lisbon, Portugal since 2022. I specialize in marketing infrastructure, designing the technical systems that let teams scale. When not working, I'm likely exploring a new corner of Europe with my wife, trying to improve my Portuguese, or tinkering with my camera. Thanks for being here.
