Frontend Developer

May 2024 - Jan 20261 yr 8 mos

Worked with various clients to lead development and deployment of embeddable web content and landing pages. This content gathered data for personalization efforts, increased sales/conversions, and integrated smoothly with other marketing tools used. Some of the clients I worked with included Estee Lauder Companies, The Greenbay Packers, and Philip Morris International. • Championed UX by making recommendations for smooth user interfaces and ensuring code met WCAG accessibility standards. • Designed in Figma and translated designs into clean front-end code, paying close attention to detail and replicating designs pixel-perfectly. • Collaborated with other developers and project managers, keeping in frequent communication and working together when debugging or troubleshooting was needed. • Wrote detailed, clear documentation on how to maintain and update projects after they were handed off to clients, covering every possibly scenario. • Adapted to frequently-changing client needs and requirements.

Web Developer/Senior Web Developer

Jun 2021 - May 20242 yrs 11 mos

Worked with various clients to built fully custom WordPress sites, keeping an emphasis on user experience, code efficiency, and performance without sacrificing appealing user interfaces. I owned the entire process from hosting and theme development all the way to security and deployment. • Crafted the architecture and frontend UI of intricate custom WordPress themes using PHP, replicating designs from Figma, providing solutions to complicated client needs, and adhering to web and WCAG accessibility standards. • Integrated with various client CRMs like Marketo, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc. to both display crucial content on sites (forms, widgets, etc.) and send data needed for decision-making. • Analyzed and optimized for performance and efficiency, specifically looking at Core Web Vitals and scoring above a 90 out of 100 on common testing tools. • Collaborated with other developers, project managers, designers, and marketers to strategize, troubleshoot, and deliver results. • Innovated custom WordPress plugins using PHP to streamline tedious tasks or solve complicated client needs. • Managed client communication, including leading weekly status calls during active projects, addressing questions or changing requirements as they arose, and writing documentation on site maintenance after handoff. • Assessed inherited legacy code to find opportunities for efficiencies and reducing technical debt.
