Hey. My name’s Mike D (aka MrComputerScience!) The fastest way to learn about me is to join my artificial intelligence newsletter, Pithy Cyborg | AI News Made Simple. Folks genuinely way smarter than me read it. Why? Because each issue delivers cutting edge AI developments plus a battle tested prompt engineered with love and care. All for 100% free. I’ll see you there. Maybe? 😉
What This Blog Is All About:
Here’s the honest answer. I’m obsessed with computer science. Always have been. Algorithms, systems design, compilers, data structures. I genuinely nerd out over all of it.
But somewhere along the way, I realized that the most interesting application of all that CS thinking wasn’t building compilers. It was applying it to marketing and AI.
Because here’s the thing. Marketers who understand how AI actually works under the hood (how large language models are trained, how prompts are engineered, how autonomous agents operate) have an enormous, unfair advantage over everyone else.
That’s exactly who this blog is for.
MrComputerScience.com is where AI meets marketing strategy. I’ve been publishing on this platform since 2010! It’s always been for the marketer who wants to go deeper than surface-level tech tools. For the creator who wants to automate and scale with precision. For the self-publisher who wants to use data-driven systems to actually grow.
If you’re tired of shallow “top 10 AI tools” listicles and want to understand the why behind the tools you’re already using you’re in the right place.
When you join Pithy Cyborg | AI News Made Simple, you get fresh artificial intelligence updates, new tools worth exploring, and battle tested prompts you can experiment with.
You can easily unsubscribe anytime without stress.
More About Who I Am
I’m an IT nerd who grew up and resides in the Greater Boston area.
I work as an AI journalist and instructor who frequently rants about AI, marketing, data science, lead generation, and other nerdy topics.
I have several science degrees, have published hundreds of scientific articles here on MrComputerScience.com, and have have been working in tech for over a decade, including for years as a client systems administrator for some of the largest organizations on Earth.
I’ve also taught over 30,000 students online between all course platforms, and over 15,000 unique students and 37,000 total enrollments on Udemy, which is still my favorite course marketplace.
My student enrollment numbers are confusing. So, let me elaborate. Over the years, I’ve taught on many course platforms, including Udemy, SkillShare, and SkillSuccess. If you add up all of the unique students I’ve taught, it’s well over 30,000 unique students. On Udemy alone, I’ve taught over 15,000 unique students, with 37,000 total course enrollments. In other words, many students have taken 2 or 3 of my courses on Udemy! I’m honored by that statistic. At least I can say I accomplished something worthwhile in my miserable life, lol. 😉
What Topics Do I Write About Here On MrComputerScience.com?
Everything here sits at the intersection of AI, marketing, and systems thinking. Here are the six core areas I write about.
1. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful income streams available to creators, marketers, and publishers. Done right, it compounds over time and generates revenue from content you have already created.
I write about using AI to find the right programs, create content that converts, and build affiliate systems that generate passive income without compromising your audience’s trust. Whether you are brand new to affiliate marketing or optimizing an existing portfolio, these guides cut straight to what works.
If you want to monetize your content and your recommendations without selling out, you are in the right place.

2. Content Strategy
Content Strategy is the architecture of ideas and the blueprint for your digital empire.
This pillar focuses on high-level content design, multi-platform distribution, and the logic of building a content moat that AI cannot easily replicate. I explore how to engineer content ecosystems that scale without sacrificing your quality.
If you have ever wondered how to turn a single deep-dive insight into a week’s worth of multi-format assets using logic and automation, you are in the right place.
Let’s build a strategy that works for you rather than a content treadmill that leads to burnout. Learn how to distribute your ideas with precision and intent.

3. Email Marketing
Email is still the highest-ROI channel in digital marketing. Full stop.
I write about building engaged lists, engineering sequences that convert, and using AI to write and optimize campaigns without losing your authentic voice. Whether you’re just starting your first list or trying to revive a stale one, there’s something here for you.
The inbox is sacred real estate. Let’s treat it that way.

4. Lead Generation
Leads are the lifeblood of any online business, but most people generate them the hard way.
I write about using AI and automation to build smarter lead gen systems: better lead magnets, optimized landing pages, AI-assisted copywriting, and audience targeting strategies rooted in real data. The goal is always a system that generates leads while you sleep, not one that requires you to hustle harder every month.

5. Marketing Automation
Growth Engineering is the application of systems thinking and algorithmic logic to audience acquisition.
We move beyond the fluff of traditional marketing and treat your funnels, traffic, and engagement as technical systems to be optimized, debugged, and improved. Marketing is not a mystery; it is a series of variables to be solved.
Whether we are deconstructing email autoresponders or analyzing the mathematics of newsletter retention, the goal is always sustainable and predictable growth.
If you want to grow your reach using logic rather than just hacks, you are in the right place. Let’s build a growth engine that actually runs on its own.

6. Search Optimization
Search is still the most powerful source of free, high-intent traffic on the internet. AI is changing how it works, and that is an opportunity if you move fast.
I write about using AI to research keywords, structure content, and build search-friendly assets that compound over time. You do not need to become a full-time SEO specialist. You need the right systems and the right prompts, and these guides give you both.
If you want organic traffic that feels achievable for a solo creator or small team, start here.

7. Social Media
Social media marketing is not about going viral. It is about showing up consistently in front of the right people until they trust you enough to act.
I write about using AI to plan, write, and repurpose social content across platforms without burning out your team or your creative energy. From content calendars and hook formulas to repurposing workflows and engagement systems, these guides focus on sustainable visibility over lucky spikes.
If social has always felt chaotic or time consuming, these articles will give you a smarter, more repeatable system.
