Alex Iltchev · Cleveland
I build the public record for how health, search, and AI actually meet.
Digital marketing coordinator at Health Action Council. Case Western, class of 2024 — economics and nutritional biochemistry. One of Dennis Yu’s AI Builders. This site is the hub, not a Linktree.

Work that is actually on camera
These are not stock reels. One is a conference selfie with Dennis Yu (too informal for a full-bleed hero — it belongs here, with a caption). One is a public podcast. Click a frame for the article.

Watch the flagship conversation
No autoplay with sound. Captions start on. Player captions are for watching — quotes on this site come from the public English track, not from guessing.
Episode title on YouTube: Alex Iltchev on the $38 Trillion Future of Health & AI (Rising Talent, 28 June 2026). The dollar figure is the episode’s framing, not a study I published. What I said on tape: the interesting work is access — regular people using these tools without paying an arm and a leg, and catching chronic disease earlier.
How I got here
I grew up around healthcare and then chose the seam: business plus the science of metabolism. At Case Western I finished both degrees in 2024. In June 2024 I joined Health Action Council in Independence, Ohio, as digital marketing coordinator — three organization sites, SEO and schema, analytics, ads, Salesforce with Linvio.
I met Dennis Yu at DigiMarCon Great Lakes in Cleveland. My badge said attendee. Lunch turned into an invitation to speak at DigiMarCon World in Las Vegas, 4–6 November 2026 at the Luxor. The official speaker list is not posted yet. I will update this page when it is. I will not call it a keynote until the organizer does.

Health × AI
Most marketers can talk about one. I sit on both. Why that is where I want to build.
Answer engines
Search is turning into a citation. GEO is how I think about getting quoted — not unsourced traffic claims.
A second brain
Obsidian plus agents. I stay the editor. The setup I showed people in Cleveland.
This domain is the hub
Profiles point here. Google and AI should too. Why I stopped renting a Linktree.
