Selected work
How the work was organized, what I decided, and what it produced.

Case study
Organic-first content strategy, adapted for AI search, plus a staged AI pipeline that researches, drafts and checks content across several sites.
Digital marketing & search
For nearly two decades my marketing job has been growing an audience I owned, not renting one. Search was the main front door, and advertising, affiliate relationships and email turned that audience into a business. Today the same discipline applies to AI search: be the clearest, most trustworthy answer to a real question.
Portfolio
Five technology publications, the company that operates them, and PositionTracker.
Publication
The flagship publication, started in 2007 while I was still working in IT. It began as a place to document troubleshooting work and became the first property in a multi-publication network.
Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Publication
The second publication in the network, positioned around troubleshooting rather than general tech curiosity. HDG is where editorial discipline shows up as brevity, sequence, and respect for the reader’s time.
Founder and Managing Editor
Publication
Launched to give Apple coverage its own desk instead of folding it into a general technology site. The name started with migration; the publication grew into ongoing Apple-ecosystem education.
Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Publication
The technical publication in the network. TBRT exists so IT-specific work does not get flattened into consumer how-tos, and so consumer sites do not pretend to be sysadmin desks.
Founder and Managing Editor
Publication
The newest publication in the network. Xbox Advisor extends the same editorial model into gaming: a defined audience, a defined desk, and standards that still apply when the subject is entertainment.
Founder and Owner
Product
A SaaS dashboard for organizing and analyzing stock and options positions. I directed the concept, workflows, interface, and implementation using modern AI-assisted development — I do not claim to have hand-coded every line or to be a senior software engineer.
Founder — product, design, and AI-assisted development
Company
The company through which I have operated the publication network and, more recently, offered WordPress care, workflow automation, and AI-assisted software work. The consulting catalog should not be mistaken for the full scope of the career.
Founder & Head of Digital Publishing and Content Operations
Expertise
Five areas that show up across publishing, editorial operations, search, AI, and product work.
Decide what a publication should cover, what it should refuse, and how the work connects to an audience.
Build the people, briefs, review cycles, and standards that keep quality intact as volume grows.
Treat SEO as one part of a broader system for discoverability, refresh, and business results.
Use AI to speed research, production, and analysis without handing over editorial accountability.
Work across publishing technology, APIs, and SaaS product development with a technical foundation.
Background
I started publishing technology guides in 2007 and later operated the work full time through AK Internet Consulting. The job was never only writing. It was deciding what each publication should cover, recruiting and managing contributors, designing workflows, and connecting editorial choices to audience and revenue results.
Search, analytics, and content lifecycle work sat alongside editing and quality control. I used performance data to tell the difference between a weak idea, weak execution, poor distribution, and content that simply needed an update.
More recently I have applied the same systems thinking to AI-assisted research, editorial workflows, and product development, including PositionTracker, a SaaS dashboard for organizing and analyzing stock and options positions. AI can accelerate research, production, analysis, and distribution. Human judgment remains responsible for original thinking, accuracy, editorial point of view, and quality.
Writing
Verified bylined pieces across the publications. The full portfolio lives on the writing page.

For the past several years, I have volunteered with Meals on Wheels in Maryland, delivering meals to older and disabled neighbors. The experience has reinforced that practical assistance and personal connection often matter equally: helping with an immediate need while making sure someone knows they have not been forgotten.
I am currently interested in remote senior leadership and strategy opportunities involving content, editorial operations, AI-enabled workflows, knowledge systems, digital publishing, and product-oriented content.
