Bio

I'm Edward Austin-Pugh, a Santa Clarita-based digital marketing and technology professional with 15+ years of hands-on experience. My background spans paid search strategy, SEO, web and application development, Ubuntu server administration, and — most recently — AI integration.

I build custom AI pipelines using the Claude and OpenAI APIs, automate marketing operations with AI agents, and manage production Ubuntu servers end-to-end — from initial setup and LAMP stack deployment to SSL configuration, firewall hardening, and zero-downtime deployments.

Open to: full-time employment, consulting, and temporary / contract assignments in AI integration, digital marketing, web development, or server administration.
