Compiled View · Experience Summary

9+ years in the web. Hundreds of decisions per project.
One constant — precision over noise.

From building custom themes from scratch to leading multi-platform agency work, the through-line has always been the same: understand the brief deeply, engineer it properly, and deliver something that actually holds up. No bloat, no borrowed templates passed off as custom — just clean, structured work that earns its place.

CMS & Marketing Platforms

Where most of the deep work lives. Over several engagements, I built custom WordPress themes and HubSpot CMS modules from the ground up — not drag-and-drop, but coded, structured, and built to scale. That means CRM-driven personalization, automated email sequences, landing page systems, and on-page SEO that actually moves rankings. These aren't boilerplate builds. They're engineered to fit specific business goals and traffic loads, and maintained well past launch.

  • HubSpot CMS
  • WP Engine
  • Custom PHP
  • Email Automation
  • Technical SEO

E-Commerce & Custom Builds

Storefronts that convert and systems that hold. From deep Shopify Liquid customization to full WooCommerce builds and bespoke PHP applications, the focus has always been the user journey and the architecture supporting it. I've built custom management systems, integrated third-party APIs, and shipped stores that handle real volume — without the technical debt that quietly slows teams down six months later.

  • Shopify / Liquid
  • WooCommerce
  • PHP / Laravel
  • API Integration
  • Custom Systems

Leadership & Team Delivery

At a certain point the work shifts from just building to making sure the right things get built — by the right people, in the right order. I've assembled and led local dev teams, run code reviews, set technical standards, and mentored developers who now build confidently on their own. Multi-stakeholder projects, tight timelines, cross-functional handoffs — I've navigated all of it and kept delivery clean.

  • Team Lead
  • Mentorship
  • Code Review
  • Project Management
  • Technical Standards

Infrastructure, Performance & Security

The unglamorous work that separates reliable sites from fragile ones. Server management, security patching, performance audits, cross-browser QA — these aren't afterthoughts, they're part of every build cycle. Sites I maintain don't go down on a Friday afternoon. Core Web Vitals get tracked. Vulnerabilities get patched before they become incidents. It's the difference between a site that exists and one that runs.
