Senior Technical SEO & Growth Strategist
Computer Engineer | Data-Driven SEO | Ex-1M YouTuber (smdani)
I’m a computer engineer who found his calling at the intersection of code and search. My approach to SEO is rooted in engineering: I build custom tools, automate workflows with Python and n8n, and let data — not gut feelings — drive every strategic decision.
Before SEO became my full-time focus, I spent a decade building and scaling the smdani brand to over 1.5 million followers across YouTube, Instagram, and X. That experience gave me a deep, firsthand understanding of how discovery algorithms work — knowledge I now apply to organic search.
Today I lead organic growth at GuruWalk as SEO Senior, and I teach the next generation of SEO specialists at BIG School (SEO Master, AI Master, Digital Marketing Master).
What I Bring to the Table
- Technical depth — I read source code, write crawlers, and debug rendering issues. Not just audits — actual engineering.
- Automation mindset — If a task runs more than twice, I automate it. Python, n8n, APIs, and custom tooling.
- Data over opinions — Every recommendation is backed by GSC data, log analysis, or controlled experiments.
- Teaching experience — 18+ years as an educator. I explain complex technical concepts clearly, whether to a C-suite or a junior team.
