Maceo Jourdan.

Projects

Twenty years of building the machine.

I architect the system, write the code, and own the product, then make the marketing on top of it compound. A sampling of the companies I’ve built, scaled, and turned around, and how they were engineered.

1M/moOutbound at scale

Event-driven growth systems, built with AI

Architecture & engineering

  • Cold outbound at 1M emails/mo: Python/TypeScript pipelines orchestrating enrichment (Clay, Apollo, Sales Navigator), deliverability infra (SendGrid, Smartleads), and intent signals (SEMrush) across a multi-inbox sending fabric.
  • Voice agents: led product and built inbound/outbound conversational agents in Python & TypeScript: telephony + LLM orchestration, state machines, and CRM write-back.
  • Sales automation: REST-API integrations syncing HubSpot, Salesforce, and Klaviyo; event-based workflows and a unified contact/data model.
  • AI-native delivery: ship with Claude Code, Cursor, AMP, and n8n; generative media with Sora, Kling, and Veo.
  • Data & cloud: Postgres/MySQL + DynamoDB/MongoDB; reporting in PowerBI, Looker, GA, and Adobe; deployed on AWS/Azure/GCP with Git-based CI.

38%→8%Refund reduction

Untangling broken funnels and broken teams

Tracking architecture & conversion systems

  • Refund-reduction system: process that dropped refunds 38%→8% and pushed retention from 3 to 18 months.
  • “Conversational canvass”: a non-linear conversion model (first prototyped in 2007). Session-path tracking, proprietary-term SEO, and action-based retargeting state machines.
  • Event & tag architecture: GA event/UTM schemas and named-tracker plumbing across properties; mapped end-to-end in Lucidchart.
  • Real Dose: took a 6-month-overdue, un-optimizable funnel live in 3 weeks, united three feuding partners, and coached one into the CEO seat.

Technical profile

I’m not a marketer who learned to talk to engineers, or an engineer who picked up marketing. I’ve owned both for two decades: from the financial model to the database tuning to the ad account.
