Alaska Backcountry Access: running the whole digital operation
My main portfolio piece. I’m trusted to operate a large part of the day-to-day digital side
of an active Alaska tourism business, real customers, real bookings, real platforms and
revenue workflows, with sub-admin access across its digital services. The owner still owns
the business; I run much of the digital day-to-day. Several connected pieces, one accountable
operator.
A year-round operation: guided snowmobile expeditions in winter and ATV tours in summer.

Video & editing
Alaska Backcountry Access tour films
Seven experiences, each with its own footage, route graphics and visual story. The ABA series leads these selected edits, with matching vertical films for Shorts and Reels.
Ongoing, hands-on responsibility for a large part of the digital side of an active Alaska tourism business, customer communication and booking support, Instagram and Meta content, website and SEO, and the platform administration that keeps it all connected.
Role
Digital Operations, Marketing & Booking Support (ongoing)
An internal operations platform I designed and built for Alaska Backcountry Access: live Xola bookings alongside weather, avalanche, and trail intelligence, fleet and dispatch, maps, and a custom CRM, one screen instead of a dozen tabs.
Role
Designed & built by me, architecture, integrations, and data model
A first-party SEO audit and paste-ready implementation program for Alaska Backcountry Access, tracing why ~42,600 search impressions produced only 892 clicks, then prioritizing every fix from Google Search Console data.
A live Astro/static website for Alaska ATV Rentals that acts as the clean decision layer for an ATV/UTV rental fleet, routing every rental choice to the right Xola checkout, and the complicated cases to a human.
Role
Built and maintained by me, architecture, build, and booking-data model
A static Astro site I built from scratch for Girdwood Rapid Response (the Turnagain Arm Rapid Response Initiative) with a privacy-safe live donation tally, a safety self-check, and honesty guardrails (911 disclaimer, no nonprofit or tax-deductible claims) built in. Live at girdwoodrapidresponse.com.

Designed and built by me, end to end, from the brief idea to the live site
