Harinder Singh
Strategic Growth Operator
Ipoh / Chiang Mai / KL · Remote | | LinkedIn | GitHub
I'm a full-stack marketer and a full-stack developer. Most marketers can't build; most developers can't think like a customer. I do both, so when something needs a server-side Conversions API setup, a script to crunch campaign data, or a landing page from scratch, I build it. No handoff, no waiting on dev. My approach never changes: find where the money's leaking before you build anything new, fix that, then build on what's already clean. I build systems, not campaigns. The last playbook I built kept compounding 14 months after I left. I make hard problems go away.
