Investigator
Founder of The Factory Dossier and Ivris Tech, where he builds and audits manufacturer websites and runs their SEO, RFQ, and analytics work. Started in sales and B2B demand generation — ABM, lead scoring, BANT, pipeline operations — then moved into technical SEO, AI workflows, and n8n automation. At The Factory Dossier he leads the website-and-growth coverage, the buyer guides, and the original investigations, and is actively researching and learning manufacturing operations and technology — ERP, MES, automation, and the systems manufacturers run on — to deepen the publication's technical reporting. MBA in Business Analytics. Still learning, still building.
