I’m a web developer specializing in CMS architecture, API integration, and accessibility. I build with PHP, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and modern tooling. Currently at Strausberg Group, previously at FreightPOP and 9 Dots.

I’m a web developer specializing in CMS architecture, accessibility, and performance optimization. At Strausberg Group, I build custom PHP themes using Composer-based frameworks, manage hosting infrastructure and deployments, and champion WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. I also build personal projects with PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, and API-driven architectures. Previously, I doubled organic traffic through SEO at FreightPOP and created marketing strategies for 9 Dots Community Learning Center.

I started as a student marketing consultant at 9 Dots Community Learning Center, where I independently secured the project through cold outreach and delivered website copy alongside a year-long marketing plan.

At FreightPOP, I took ownership of a full CMS redesign, building modular HTML/CSS/JS components and running A/B tests that lifted free trial conversions by 40%. I executed an SEO strategy that doubled site traffic within six months.

Since 2018, I’ve been a web developer at Strausberg Group, where I build custom PHP themes using Composer-based frameworks (SAGE/ROOTS, Blade templating), manage server deployments via SSH, and architect content models for diverse client sites. I authored the agency’s WCAG 2.2 AA pre-launch checklist, train designers and developers on accessibility, and led the transition from Photoshop to Figma.

Outside of work, I build with modern tools: my personal site runs on Astro, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, and I built an interactive application backed by PostgreSQL with user authentication, role-based admin access, and API-driven data.

Experience

Web Developer, Strausberg Group
  • Built an in-house CMS starter theme using PHP, Composer (SAGE/ROOTS, Blade templating), and custom content types that replaced page-builder dependency, cut debugging time, and sped up new-site launches
  • Wrote WCAG 2.2 AA pre-launch checklist and trained designers/devs on it; new sites ship with 90+ Core Web Vitals scores
  • Client-facing development lead for strategy workshops, timeline-planning, and training hand-offs; minimized approval cycles through clearer prototypes and reduced production timelines
  • Review analytics data (Google Analytics, Looker Studio) to understand user journeys and content gaps, then translate findings into CMS content strategy and site improvements
  • Full-stack development and troubleshooting for managed hosting deployments (WP Engine, DigitalOcean) via SSH, DNS/email migrations, and performance tuning (object caching, CDN configuration, image optimization)
  • Led the agency's move from Photoshop to Figma—training design team on auto-layout, components, and mobile-first thinking, and running ongoing meetings on UI trends, accessibility, and privacy
  • Built a PostgreSQL-backed interactive web application with user authentication, role-based access control, real-time data via API, and an admin panel—using React, TypeScript, Supabase, and Tailwind CSS
Marketing Coordinator, FreightPOP
  • Full CMS redesign: built and maintained a CMS-driven site with modular HTML/CSS/JS components
  • Owned on-page & technical SEO: updated metadata and internal links; improved load times and wrote blog content resulting in traffic doubling six months post-launch
  • Ran A/B testing to optimize CTAs and contact flow UX, resulting in a 40% lift in free trial conversions over 6 months
  • Cleaned analytics data and updated a daily dashboard so the CEO and team could see up-to-date status on marketing efforts
Student Marketing Consultant, 9 Dots Community Learning Center
  • Landed the project independently—cold-called local nonprofits, secured 9 Dots as a client, and kept my faculty advisor in the loop for feedback
  • Interviewed staff and surveyed students to capture what each group needed from the new after-school program; compiled findings into a brief for leadership
  • Drafted website copy with designed high-fidelity page layouts and wrote a 12-month outreach plan that mixed on-campus events, email marketing, and social posts to grow enrollment and community donations
