Ibrarr Khan

I'm a Co-founder of Vulkan Creative, a London digital marketing & web agency. I build the websites for us, and I make sure people can find them on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT.

I believe a website has to earn its keep. It should load fast, make sense to the people using it, be easy for you to update and bring in enquiries. That's why search gets planned in from the very start of every build.

At Vulkan, I look after the build side, which covers design, development, SEO and the practical use of AI. When we build your site, I'm the one building it, from the first design to the code that goes live. So if you ask me how something works, you'll get a straight answer.

How I got here

I didn't start out as a developer. I joined Bonhill Group, a B2B media company, as a marketing apprentice, helping with paid media, email and website updates. From there, I went on to plan and run its lead-generation campaigns. Seeing how much of each result came down to the website it landed on is what moved me into development.

I stayed at Bonhill for five years in all, working up from junior to mid-level developer. I built WordPress themes and plugins across the group's sites, connected them to other systems, and trained the developers who joined after me.

After that, I spent nearly two years as a software engineer at Stubben Edge, an insurance platform. I built quote journeys in React and Laravel and APIs for their bespoke CRM system, ran the company's WordPress sites, and worked closely with the product, design and compliance teams.

In 2024 Flynn and I started Vulkan Creative. Having worked in both marketing and development, I build every site with the marketing already in mind.
