If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue your use of this site.
1. Intellectual Property & Permitted Use
My Original Content
All content created directly by me, or in strategic collaboration with others, and displayed on this website—including, but not limited to, my biographical text, case study analyses and summaries, written articles, the layout architecture of this site, and downloadable resume files—is my exclusive intellectual property unless otherwise noted, and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws.
Third-Party Client Work & Trademarks (Case Studies & Projects)
This portfolio features case studies, project summaries, and visual examples demonstrating digital strategies, full-funnel CRO, and UI/UX website architecture that I designed, developed, or managed during my tenure with past employers, clients, or corporate entities.
- All corporate names, logos, registered trademarks, proprietary software screenshots, and final commercial digital assets displayed within these case studies remain the exclusive intellectual property of their respective owners.
- My presentation of these materials is intended strictly as a fair-use, non-commercial professional portfolio display to demonstrate my personal strategic authorship, leadership role, and execution capabilities.
- No endorsement, sponsorship, or transfer of ownership by or from these third-party companies is implied.
Limited Evaluation License
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access this site and download materials (such as my CV/resume or portfolio deck) strictly for recruitment, hiring evaluation, or professional networking purposes.
Under this license, you may not copy, republish, redistribute, or scrape my case study text or project layouts to represent them as your own work, nor use them for any commercial purposes outside of evaluating my candidacy for a professional role.
2. Accuracy of Metrics and Case Study Data
This website showcases historical digital strategy, conversion rate optimization (CRO), and user experience metrics based on real-world projects I have led or contributed to.
- All data, growth figures, and performance metrics are provided in good faith for illustrative purposes to demonstrate my professional capabilities.
- These metrics do not constitute a commercial guarantee, warranty, or prediction of future performance for other businesses or digital assets.
- While I strive for absolute accuracy, the materials appearing on this website could include technical, typographical, or photographic errors, and I do not warrant that all materials on the site are completely current or error-free.
3. User Conduct & Communications
If you utilize the contact forms, email links, or phone information listed on this website to communicate with me, you agree to do so in a professional manner. You are strictly prohibited from using my contact channels to transmit:
- Unsolicited commercial advertising, marketing spam, or promotional material.
- Defamatory, harassing, obscene, or otherwise unlawful content.
- Any materials containing software viruses, malware, or malicious code designed to interrupt or damage website functionality.
I reserve the right to ignore, block, or delete communications that violate these professional conduct standards.
4. Third-Party Links
This portfolio contains links to external, third-party websites (such as live client websites, my professional social media profiles, or publications where my articles are hosted).
- I have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, practices, or uptime of any third-party websites.
- The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by me of the external site. Accessing any linked third-party website is done entirely at your own risk.
5. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall I be held liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use, or the inability to use, the materials on this website, even if I have been notified of the possibility of such damage.
