My journey in technology began in 1987, when I wrote my first lines of code in the BASIC programming language on an IBM System/36. That early experience opened the door to a world I’ve never stepped away from. As my curiosity grew, so did my toolkit: Pascal, Fortran, and the dBase/FoxPlus/Clipper family became the next set of languages I explored, each one expanding my understanding of how software could solve real problems.
Years later, I found myself drawn to the emerging field of artificial intelligence. Long before AI became mainstream, I was experimenting with LISP and Prolog; languages that introduced me to symbolic reasoning, logic programming, and the deeper questions behind machine intelligence. That early exposure planted a seed that would eventually shape the direction of my work decades later.
As the web matured, I shifted into designing and building websites, which naturally led me into ecommerce, data migration, server configuration, and SQL. I learned PHP on my own while working extensively with WordPress implementations, discovering along the way how much I enjoyed bridging backend logic with user‑facing experiences.
Around 2012, another chapter began: SEO and email marketing. What started as a practical necessity for client projects quickly became a long‑term discipline. I spent years studying how search engines interpret content, how users behave online, and how messaging influences engagement. I built campaigns, optimized funnels, managed subscriber lifecycles, and learned firsthand how small changes in structure, clarity, and intent could dramatically shift outcomes. That decade of SEO and email work taught me something foundational: the web isn’t just built for humans; it’s built for interpreters. Sometimes those interpreters are people, and sometimes they’re machines.
Today, the technology landscape is being reshaped once again; this time by modern AI systems that interpret, summarize, and interact with online content in ways we’ve never seen before. That shift inspired me to take everything I’ve learned over the years and channel it into something new: OLAMIP, a standard designed to make websites truly AI‑ready.
OLAMIP is the culmination of decades spent working across programming languages, data systems, web technologies, early AI concepts, and more than a decade of hands‑on experience with SEO and structured communication. It reflects my belief that the future of the web depends on clear, intentional dialogue between humans and machines; and that we can build that future deliberately, not accidentally.
This is the next chapter of my work, and I’m excited to help shape how AI understands the web.
