Who I Am

I'm a founder and paid media leader who spent 15+ years in the trenches of enterprise advertising โ€” optimizing bids, auditing accounts, debugging conversion tracking, and reporting on millions in monthly spend for brands ranging from local shops to household names. Now I build the AI tools I wish had existed the whole time. Everything here is open-source, production-tested, and built for the people managing real campaigns with real budgets.

A few things that shape how I work:

  • Practitioner first. Every tool in these repos came from a real problem in a real account โ€” nothing here is theoretical.
  • Trust and empathy over hype. From local businesses to Fortune 500s, my strategies start with understanding the audience, not chasing the latest tactic.
  • Teacher at heart. I speak at Hero Conf, write for Search Engine Land, publish a free AI agents course, and coach high school football in Arizona โ€” same philosophy everywhere: show up, do the reps, help others level up.
  • Builder by obsession. From a 26M-parameter trainable advertising AI to one-file browser games, I ship things people can actually use today.

Meet Buddy โ€” My AI Advertising Agent, Live in Action

Buddy powers ahmeego.com and the free tools at googleadsagent.ai, and ships as an iOS/Android app, a Claude Code plugin, and a Gemini CLI extension. Watch the flow, left to right:

Step 1 โ€” Ask Buddy in plain English to write Google Ads headlines and descriptions Step 2 โ€” Buddy writes character-limit-compliant headlines grounded in live SERP data Step 3 โ€” Buddy explains the strategic reasoning behind every line of ad copy Step 4 โ€” Creative Validator checks ad assets against platform specs

1 ยท Ask in plain English โ†’ 2 ยท Grounded in live data โ†’ 3 ยท Copy + the "why" โ†’ 4 ยท Validate creative
