About Me

With a background shaped by experience in multiple industries, Martin Kintanar brings a unique blend of technical expertise, creative problem-solving, and leadership to everything he does.

I graduated with a degree in Information Technology from Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), where I developed a strong foundation in systems thinking and problem-solving. My career started in technical support at a BPO company, helping customers resolve technical issues. That experience taught me patience, clear communication, and how to stay calm while solving real problems.

I later moved into the publishing industry with Author Solutions Philippines, taking on various production and design roles. I worked closely with authors, corrected layout and design issues, ensured files were print-ready, and helped guide projects from concept to completion. I also spent time as a Futures Portfolio Analyst, where I analyzed short-term interest rate markets and made data-driven trading decisions.

Over time, I expanded into e-commerce, specializing in Amazon optimization at before stepping into the role of Director of Operations, improving systems and driving performance through data-backed processes.

My transition into SEO was shaped by mentorship and real-world application. I was trained by a close friend and classmate, Rene Leandro Padilla, widely known as Pinoy SEO and considered one of the top experts in the country. Through hands-on exposure to real business cases, strategy development, and measurable growth campaigns, I developed a deep understanding of search and eventually grew into a subject matter expert.

On a personal note, I’m happily married and about to become a father. I’m also a Christian and serve at our church, helping out with technical coordination and support for services and events. In my downtime, I enjoy playing computer games. I’ve played competitive titles over the years, but lately I’ve been returning to my roots with classic RPGs.
