SENIOR TECHNICAL SEO & FULL-STACK ENGINEER

Technical SEO,
Engineered to Scale

I'm George Iskef, a Senior Technical SEO Specialist with 7+ years of experience and the engineering skills to ship my own fixes. I make large, multi-market sites easy for search engines to crawl, render and index, and I automate the work that doesn't scale by hand: hreflang, migrations, audits and monitoring.

CORE EXPERTISE

Where I Add the Most Value

Deep technical SEO, plus the engineering skills to build and ship the fixes myself instead of waiting in a dev backlog.

Technical & International SEO

Crawlability, indexation and rendering for large multi-market sites. Hreflang at scale, SEO-safe replatforming and migrations, JavaScript SEO, structured data and Core Web Vitals.

  • ✓ Automated hreflang & XML sitemap pipelines
  • ✓ Migration planning, redirect mapping & QA
  • ✓ JavaScript rendering & indexation audits

Full-Stack Development & Engineering

I build what SEO needs instead of only writing tickets for it: fast server-rendered PHP, modern JavaScript, secure APIs and well-indexed MySQL databases, from prototype to production.

  • ✓ Modern PHP 8 & object-oriented architecture
  • ✓ Fast, accessible JavaScript front-ends
  • ✓ API integrations & database performance

SEO Automation & Monitoring

Python, n8n and webhook pipelines that run audits, catch broken canonicals, redirect loops and indexation drops early, and turn Search Console data into reports people actually use.

  • ✓ Scheduled crawls & automated health checks
  • ✓ Search Console API reporting
  • ✓ Alerts before rankings drop

Servers, Performance & Email

Linux, Nginx and Apache configured for speed and security, plus self-hosted mail with SPF, DKIM and DMARC so transactional email reaches the inbox.

  • ✓ Caching, compression & security headers
  • ✓ HestiaCP, cPanel & Roundcube mail servers
  • ✓ SPF / DKIM / DMARC deliverability

Tools & Platforms

Seven years of hands-on work across SEO, data, development and infrastructure, plus software I build myself.

Crawling, auditing and validating large sites, from a single template to hundreds of thousands of URLs.

  • Screaming Frog
  • Sitebulb
  • Google Search Console
  • Lighthouse
  • PageSpeed Insights
  • Chrome DevTools
  • Schema.org / JSON-LD
  • Hreflang
