Content Strategy & Editorial Operations Leader
Digital Publishing Founder | AI & Product Builder
For nearly two decades, I have built and operated technology publications, led distributed teams of writers and editors, grown audiences to millions of monthly readers, and developed the editorial systems that make quality content scalable. Today, I also build AI-assisted workflows and SaaS products at the intersection of content, technology, and business.

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.
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.
Selected impact
How the work was organized, what I decided, and what it produced.
Case study
Five audience-specific desks, one operating system
I started publishing technology guides in 2007 while working in IT. The first site, Online Tech Tips, grew quickly enough that a single general-interest desk could not serve every reader well.

More than 35 contributors without turning publishing into a factory
A single-author site can hold a point of view in one person’s head. A network that publishes continuously cannot. The work had to become teachable: who writes, what a brief contains, how review works, and what “done” means.

Performance, lifecycle, and judgment — not another keyword checklist
Organic search has been the primary way readers found the publications. That made SEO unavoidable, but it was never the whole strategy. The useful question was always why a piece performed the way it did.

A SaaS product directed, designed, and iterated with modern AI workflows
After years of running publishing systems, I started building PositionTracker: a dashboard for organizing and analyzing stock and options positions. The product came from a practical problem — positions, research, and market context lived in too many places.

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.

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.
