About Shane

I like the work behind the result.

I'm a paid media manager based in Guelph, Ontario. I work across acquisition strategy, campaign operations, and the systems that help people make better decisions from the data in front of them.

How I work

Good strategy has to survive the day-to-day.

Managing paid media is more than setting a campaign live. It means understanding the customer behind the query, knowing which signals to trust, and making the next action clear enough to defend.

My background spans paid search and other acquisition platforms. I've also hired and trained campaign managers. That experience has made me attentive to the systems around the work: how a decision gets explained, repeated, checked, and improved.

I build practical automation for campaign management and reporting. I want a tool to remove repetitive assembly while leaving space for judgment where it matters.
