Measuring AI visibility without fooling yourself

Being mentioned by an AI tool is not the same as being recommended. I'll show how to build questions customers actually ask, compare answers across AI tools, inspect cited sources, and measure visibility over time — and how to avoid misleading results and find practical improvements to AI discoverability.

Hello, Robots: How AI Sees Your WordPress Site

This workshop takes my BIOS SPHERE talk and expands it into a hands-on session on how AI tools find, understand, and cite your business. Bring a website and a laptop to compare AI answers, check their sources, and leave with a practical visibility checkup and a short list of what to fix first. No SEO or coding experience required.

Topics I Speak About

I enjoy sharing what I've learned about AI, agentic development, and the platforms I've been building on for years.

AI Visibility

Being mentioned isn't being recommended. How to test the questions customers really ask, read what AI engines cite, and fix what they get wrong.

Agentic Development Workflows

What changes when agents write most of the code: clear specs, fast verification loops, and review gates that let a small team ship like a big one.

Laravel

Lessons from years of Laravel in production, plus the open-source packages I maintain for AI pricing, document extraction, and testing.

WordPress

Two decades in the ecosystem, with contributions to Core, Jetpack, and WooCommerce. Performance, plugin architecture, and making sites easy for AI to read.

Beyond the Stage

When I'm not speaking at conferences, I'm a product engineer, founder, and technical partner with more than 20 years of experience building software for the web.

I help growing businesses build and improve the software they depend on, working across product direction, hands-on engineering, and practical uses of AI.
