How I Work

Signal, not noise.

Verified by default

Every metric here is pulled from Meta's Marketing API. On any call, I'll screen-share live Ads Manager. No screenshots to trust, just data.

Testing discipline

Separate testing and scaling structures. 3–5 new creatives weekly. Daily kill/scale decisions, weekends included.

Modern stack

AI-assisted workflows (Claude + Meta Marketing API), Make/n8n automation, GA4 + CAPI tracking. Reporting in minutes, not hours.

Full-funnel ownership

Ad account to checkout: offers, landing pages, tracking. Not just campaigns.

Numbers I can defend.

Three levels of proof, clearly labeled. Ask me to walk you through any of them on a call — including a live Ads Manager screen-share on current accounts.

MENA E-commerce — High Volume

Documented

High-volume MENA e-commerce operation: 233 ads running simultaneously, 18.5M impressions and 3.7M people reached on $17.3K spend in the captured window, with purchase CPAs as low as $1.16. In peak campaign windows, purchase ROAS ranged 8.5x–18.6x at CPCs of $0.08–0.15 — snapshot figures, not a sustained blended average. I ran everything from micro-budget ABO testing at $5/day to scaled winners. Part of a Business Manager where I managed $500K+ total spend from 2017–2022 (Meta's data retention has since purged the full history).

FrameGen

AI Video-Ad SaaS · Founder & Builder · Live Product
Live — framegen.io

I didn't just buy ads — I built the machine that makes them. FrameGen turns a product photo into a ready-to-post TikTok / Instagram / Facebook video ad in minutes: AI-generated scenes and avatars, script approval, captions and delivery — a full pipeline I architected and run on my own infrastructure. Its promise is right in the tagline: AI video ads that actually convert. For clients that means one thing — creative testing velocity: more UGC-style variations, faster, at a fraction of production cost.

Independent E-commerce Operator — US / UK / Canada / Australia

Launched and operated dozens of direct-response e-commerce stores targeting the big-4 English-speaking markets — full cycle: product research, store builds, Meta ads testing and scaling, and daily kill/scale decisions.

2016 — 2018

Email Marketing Lead / Mailer — Honest Media

Led a team of mailers: campaign planning, HTML builds, list optimization and deliverability engineering (anti-spam server infrastructure). Consistently generated $10–20K/month in email-driven revenue. This is also where I began managing Meta accounts at scale — $500K+ spend through 2022.
