I managed and grew multiple Amazon Affiliate websites focused on ranking content, driving organic traffic, and generating commission-based revenue. This involved end-to-end SEO execution, including keyword research, technical optimization, content strategy, and performance tracking.

The Tech Shop was an eCommerce venture I launched and operated, focused on sourcing and selling consumer tech accessories. What started as a small online initiative quickly evolved into a hands-on learning experience across marketing, operations, and customer management. I handled product research, supplier coordination, and end-to-end fulfillment while growing the store through digital marketing and customer engagement. Over time, I expanded sourcing from local markets to international suppliers, including Alibaba, to improve product quality and margins.
