DIGITAL ANALYST · CRO & WEB ANALYTICS

Hi, I'm El Mahdi. I read the data, shape the experience, and build the pages.

A digital analyst who starts from the journey, not the channel. I connect what users do, why they do it, and what to change on the page to move the needle.

(01) About

A hands-on analyst obsessed with user behavior, clean data, and pages that actually convert

I work across the full journey, not a single channel. I look at what users do, dig into why they hesitate or drop, and decide what to move first, the page, the tracking, or the message. Then I go build it.

That's the part most analysts skip: I don't stop at the recommendation. I read the data and I ship the fix analysis and execution in the same pair of hands.

(04) Study cases

A few cases I’m proud to have studied.

Helio Analytics

BANKING · CRO

Recovering a leaking account-opening funnel

A bank's signups leaked at a single step. The fix wasn't fewer steps but restoring confidence where trust broke.

When two dashboards tell two different stories

A carmaker's analytics and CRM never agreed. The gap wasn't in the reports; it was built in at collection

From data to a page that converts

An insurance page drew traffic but converted almost none. Reading the behaviour first, then rebuilding it, lifted the rate.

Retail · Web Analytics

Instrumenting a site before launch

Tracking is usually bolted on after launch, and the data breaks. Designed first, as a spec, it's clean from day one.

UX/UI & CRO

Designing a booking journey for a high-emotion purchase

A luxury photoshoot brand needed bookings, not just beautiful images. The site was built around one decision.

Why most A/B tests fail before they even start

43

43

Only one in five tests ever reaches significance. The reasons sit upstream, in the choices you make before launch.

CRO

Read the journey, not the channel

31

31

Last-click attribution credits the final touch and quietly starves the channels that did the real work of converting.

CRO

AI can't tell you which test mattered

18

18

AI generates and tests variants at speed, but the bottleneck was never speed. It's knowing what's worth testing at all.

Micro-frictions in banking and insurance journeys

76

76

Two in three people abandon a bank signup despite wanting the product. The cause is rarely one wall, but many small ones.

UX

Your tracking plan is a product spec

15

Bolt tracking on at the end and the data breaks six months later. Treat the plan like a spec and design it before you build.
