**small SEO company** · Software Developer

for 6 months in late 2000s

## What I did

- Developed and supported a machine that stole and rewrote content on an industrial scale, before that became grounds for an IPO
- Worked on a large automated doorway/satellite network, link farming and other SERP manipulation stuff

## What I achieved

- Nothing to be proud of, but technology-wise, this system was interesting: all the stealing was done in real time
- We had multiple nodes that worked transparently for the victim and the visitor alike

## What I learned

- There is an obscene amount of money in making things worse for everyone. But you shouldn’t do it.
- How to make something for robots instead of people. Ironically, after almost 20 years, this skill is relevant again.
