Beyond Development: My Role Inside Wand AI
Marketing Specialist
As a member of the marketing team, I built and optimized key systems in HubSpot and Apollo. Developed automated workflows, lead nurturing sequences, and custom dashboards to track performance. Created branded forms, CTAs, and integrated Apollo for outbound campaigns with synced engagement data. Also managed domain warm-up, deliverability, and the technical foundation behind successful email marketing.
SEO & Digital Growth Expert
Always focused on results, I naturally took ownership of technical marketing responsibilities within the team. As a core player at Wand, I supported every team member and helped unify a previously fragmented marketing process. I actively proposed new ideas, solved technical challenges, and drove initiatives aimed at growth and lead generation. With a deep understanding of SEO trends, I continuously optimized content and site structure — including new approaches for AI-specific SEO — to maximize visibility and business impact.
System Security
With a Master’s degree in Computer Security, I bring a strong foundation and mindset centered on protection by design. Security is often invisible — until it’s too late. That’s why I always treat it as a priority, not an afterthought. I ensure the systems I build are secure by default, and I actively advocate for strengthening the company’s infrastructure to prevent risks before they arise.
