$300K+ earned on Upwork, 123 jobs, 8,700+ hours, 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus. All of it in one lane: email marketing, email deliverability, cold email and the funnel automation around them.

Clients hire me for four things.

1. Email deliverability
   Inbox placement audits, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and BIMI, domain and IP reputation repair, Google and Microsoft bulk sender compliance, blacklist removal, list hygiene, warmup, and platform migrations that do not tank your sending reputation. If your email marketing lands in spam or Promotions, email deliverability is what I fix first.

2. Cold email infrastructure and campaigns
   Secondary domains, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailbox setup, warmup, sending limits, Instantly, Smartlead, Reply, lemlist, plus the copy and sequencing that gets replies. B2B cold email campaigns I run hold 50%+ open rates and 15 to 20% reply rates, because the cold email deliverability work is done before the first send.

3. Lifecycle and retention email marketing
   Klaviyo, Braze, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, GoHighLevel, Mailchimp, GetResponse, SendGrid. Onboarding, nurture, cart recovery, win-back, segmentation, platform migrations, and the email automation around them (Make, Zapier, Airtable, OpenAI).

4. Funnel audits and funnel automation
   Full-funnel audits of what happens from opt-in to purchase, then fixing the leaks: landing pages, lead capture, CRM routing, follow-up sequences, webinar and launch flows, upsell and cart recovery. GoHighLevel, HubSpot, ClickFunnels, WordPress, Unbounce, with Make and Zapier doing the plumbing. Currently running a 360-hour funnel audit and rebuild for a B2B client.

Recent work on Upwork: a multi-year email marketing engagement for an Upwork enterprise client, a 360-hour funnel audit and rebuild, Braze and Klaviyo lifecycle programs for SaaS and ecommerce, GoHighLevel funnel automation, ActiveCampaign and HubSpot builds, cold email outbound programs for B2B agencies and services firms, and email deliverability rescues for teams stuck in spam.

Typical outcomes: cart recovery flows adding 25% to email revenue, 30 to 50% open rates on email marketing campaigns, domains pulled off blacklists and back to the primary inbox within days.

How I work: I ask for access, audit what is actually happening in the logs and the ESP, send you a short written plan with what to fix in what order, then build it. Most engagements start with a paid email deliverability audit, a funnel audit, or a tightly scoped fix, and grow from there if it makes sense.
