I build the email infrastructure your outbound runs on.
Most funded startups burn their first sending domain within 90 days of hiring SDRs. The fix is infrastructure, not copy.
For funded startups putting their first SDRs or AI agents on Instantly, Smartlead, Apollo, or Clay — and for sales teams scaling outbound past what their setup was built for.
I'm building or scaling outbound
You raised, and SDRs — human or AI — are about to start sending. Get the domains, mailboxes, authentication, and warmup architected before the first sequence goes out, not after the domain burns.

Emails going to spam? That's not a content problem. It's authentication, reputation, or sending patterns — and it's diagnosable. I'll tell you exactly what's wrong.

Why I do this
I spent my career in infrastructure technology at a Fortune 5 company — the kind of environment where systems don't get to be "mostly working." Everything is monitored, redundant, and built to stay up no matter what.
When I looked at how most businesses handle email, I saw the opposite. Broken authentication, damaged sender reputations, shared IPs tanking deliverability — and marketers blamed their copy when the real problem was infrastructure nobody was looking at. I realized the exact same expertise I applied to enterprise systems could solve these problems overnight.
So I built Mailflow Authority. I've fixed deliverability for hundreds of senders, and today I build and run outbound infrastructure for B2B teams — the domains, mailboxes, authentication, and warmup behind SDR and AI-agent sending on tools like Instantly, Smartlead, Apollo, and Clay. With what Google and Microsoft are changing for bulk senders — and how they're learning to filter AI-generated email — the gap between "emails that arrive" and "emails that disappear" is getting wider. That's where I come in.
Honestly? I get a lot of satisfaction watching someone realize their emails were making them way more money than they thought was possible — they just needed the infrastructure to match the effort they were already putting in.

How engagements work
Audit first. You'll know exactly what's broken — or missing — before you spend a dollar on ongoing work.
Outbound Infrastructure Audit
I map your domains, authentication, mailbox setup, sequencer configuration, and reputation standing. You get a findings report and a prioritized build plan — whether or not we work together after.
Outbound Infrastructure Buildout
The productized build: secondary sending domains, mailbox provisioning, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, 14–30 day warmup, sequencer configuration, monitoring, and a runbook your team keeps.
Managed Deliverability Retainer
I run it: continuous monitoring, reputation management, incident response, and new domain provisioning as you scale. Bounded scope — you know exactly what is included.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems I hear every week — and none of them are content problems.
Your open rates dropped 20% and nobody on your team can explain it
You haven't changed your content, but engagement is sliding. The problem is almost always under the hood — sender reputation, authentication gaps, or list hygiene.
Emails land in spam even though your content is good
Great subject lines and valuable content still go to spam when your domain reputation or authentication is off. Content isn't the fix.
You set up SPF and DKIM but something's still wrong
You followed the guides. Records are published. But DMARC is failing, alignment is broken, or a third-party sender is hurting your domain without you knowing.
Your ESP says 98% delivered. Your revenue tells a different story.
Delivered doesn't mean inbox. If revenue from email is down, something between your ESP and your customer's inbox is broken — and your dashboard won't show it.
Every one of these is diagnosable.
If any of them hit home, you don't have a marketing problem — you have an infrastructure problem. I'll tell you exactly which one.
How it works
Three steps. The first one is free, and you keep the diagnosis either way.
Book a free call
Tell me what's happening with your email. I'll pull up your DNS and authentication records live on the call so we can see exactly what's going on.
Get a clear diagnosis
I'll identify the root cause and give you a prioritized fix list — whether you hire me or not. No vague recommendations. Specific problems, specific solutions.
Fix it for good
Implement the fixes yourself with the roadmap I give you, or I'll handle it. Most deliverability problems are resolved in 2 to 4 weeks.
Real results
Every engagement is different, but the pattern is the same: find the root cause, fix it properly, and watch the numbers recover.
DTC brand on Klaviyo. Authentication was misconfigured and sending domain had no reputation. Fixed SPF alignment, enforced DMARC, and rebuilt warmup.
SaaS company on SendGrid. Got listed after a spike in bounces from a bad import. Identified the trigger, cleaned the list, and submitted delisting.
Newsletter with 200K subscribers. Third-party tools were sending on their domain without alignment. Locked down DMARC policy and moved to p=reject.
The Math of Mediocrity.
If your open rates are hovering around 20-25%, you aren't just "doing okay"—you are actively paying to send emails that 75% of your list never sees.
