Agentic-first means my agents do the heavy lifting, so you get senior thinking at small-team speed. You work with me: one senior partner, no hand-offs.
We start with your brand, customers, offers, past work, and what’s not working. You talk with me, and my agents help pull the picture together.
We brainstorm the work, and my agents research your market and competitors. I set the plan.
I build or rebuild your store, including the theme, brand and design, with agents on the heavy lifting. You stay with me through launch.
I structure the SEO and run ads, A/B and market testing, and automation. Agents take on the labor; I make the calls.
The work
03 · Senior UX Researcher at Shopify
It’s one part of how I work. At Shopify I study Shop App, Shop Pay and buyer growth. For merchants, it means fixing the real problem, not the loudest one.
I find what’s really breaking for users, and improve it with data.
From a 4,200+ ticket review: 37% of dropshipping “out of stock” tickets were really shipping setup errors.

“He goes above and beyond in every interaction that he has with his merchants, spending as much time as necessary to fully understand a problem and offer numerous solutions. … Alex is one of the unique individuals who are able to dive deep into minutia and then pull back to 10,000 feet to aid in solving a problem and connecting it to the key vision.”
“Alexander is a knowledgeable SEO with a strong analytical mindset and plenty of technical expertise. He helped me out with auditing a website that was on the decline in terms of SEO and thoroughly went through my case down to the tiniest of details to help me recover my lost rankings. Highly recommended!”
“I had the pleasure to consult for Alex in a common project a while ago and was absolutely amazed how committed to the cause he was, Alex is a true professional in every sense of the word and displayed quick wit, insane drive and tons of passion towards his project and all the people involved.
