About Me
Hi, my name is Kevin Tharan – I’m a forward-thinking industrial engineer and digital entrepreneur with a genuine passion for SEO, programming, and innovative online solutions. At my business, I blend my technical expertise in data science, AI programming, and web design with strategic insights to elevate and strengthen digital presences. Embracing the seo philosophy “Don’t build links. Build relationships,”. My commitment is to deliver meaningful results while nurturing lasting, productive relationships.
The Joruney
I was born in 2001, and my passion for business and technology emerged early. While completing my high school
diploma in 2019, I discovered a love for stock trading and entrepreneurship – sparked by after-school gaming
sessions and early digital ventures. At 18, I began investing and co-founded an Instagram page that opened my
eyes to the online business world.
A pivotal moment came when a good friend – now my business partner –
launched his first venture, “Get Red,” and encouraged me to explore SEO and programming. I
dove into SEO through a three-month internship and later excelled as an SEO Manager, presenting a
comprehensive audit and roadmap during my interview. At the same time, I began studying Industrial Engineering
at university, a journey that culminated in earning my Master’s degree in 2025.
Afterward, I began pursuing my doctoral degree, focusing on the application of AI in the automotive industry
that I am still working on finishing.
In 2021, I took my first steps in coding with PHP before quickly adapting to Python. Today, I build neural networks, develop data analysis algorithms, and create
full-stack solutions using frameworks like Flask and React. However, using PHP in JTL,
WordPress and Shopware Plugins and solutions is still part of my daily life. I firmly believe that a true
programmer bridges the gap between front-end and back-end—from initial design to complete project
deployment.
This journey of continuous learning, creativity, and problem-solving defines who I am as a developer and
automation engineer—always ready to embrace new challenges and push the boundaries of innovation.
My Skills and Abilities
Leveraging my background as a M.Sc. Industrial Engineer, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative problem-solving to every project. I excel in developing robust web applications, crafting AI-driven programs, and designing efficient automation solutions primarily using Python and PHP. My expertise spans modern web frameworks, API integrations, machine learning and AI programming, SEO optimization, and bespoke software development. This versatile skill set enables me to tackle complex challenges and deliver scalable, high-performance solutions that drive business success.
