Full Stack Developer with a deep marketing background

Full site build: development and project management

• Dynamic, lightweight site built to showcase content to members with a wide variety of engaging blocks and empower staff with a user-friendly CMS.
• Automated migration of hundreds of resources and events into new Resource Library
• Extensive admin control of metadata for resources and events across all areas of the site

Fully custom WooCommerce site with product designer

• Vetted, integrated, and white-labelled a product design plugin
• Automated workflow from order, to pre-press review, to shipping, and order status notifications along the way – connecting WooCommerce statuses and emails for client and admin, the API for the plugin, Zapier, and their shipping solution, PirateShip.

An instance where a little extra effort went a long way.

• Built and rolled out design system across site
• Custom-coded mega menu
• Designed and developed filtered news page & standalone news blocks
• Implemented custom tablist, two-column accordion, and nested accordion blocks with anchoring and auto-open functionality
• Built image size and positioning utility functions in SCSS

A client in the medical supply field needed a new site for their group of brands, while also rolling out updates to individual brands, taking a templated approach. Several vital behind-the-scenes pieces of functionality, including:

• A Group Events feed that uses custom RSS and category tags to power event calendars on group site and on websites of multiple group brands
• Custom navigation to open brand tab in tablist, defaulting to a link to standalone brand website as a fallback for users without JavaScript enabled

A great opportunity for collaboration with outside designers. Animation and responsiveness settings throughout the site provide an unexpectedly engaging experience for an infrastructure giant.

• Oversized typography and animations that work seamlessly across screensizes
• Translation tool with custom formatting to account for longer words in certain langauges
• Product catalog with custom ACF backend

Responsible for common ADA / accessibility issues and fixes — particularly for mega menus and forms. Working on Americo really helped me to cement my understanding of semantic HTML/CSS and simple ARIA and JS fixes.

Strong focus on accessibility, usability, responsiveness, and maintainability.

Midwest Land Group

Site refreshes present a unique challenge: how to evolve a website while taking advantage of what works?

For MLG, we started with a new floating header and dynamic footer.

• Researched and implemented functionality to split menu on desktop screen sizes
• Implemented dynamic footer text with built in defaults
• Integrated fitText.jS to improve responsiveness
• Built templated page in WordPress to power marketing campaign landing pages

Working with mission-driven clients is always a treat and Doctor Daughters was great example. This client had a limited budget and great ideas, but what they needed most was a site that would easily grow with them. Some of the additional features I built out to help them included:

• CSS helper classes to manage content block widths and responsiveness
• Custom anchor fields for better page navigation
• Custom slider that automatically generates a testimonials slider or a generic slider based on inputs
• Custom angled gradient headers

• Implemented custom typewriter and countup JS functions to enable animated text on homepage
• Built custom stats block with ability to set unit and positioning of unit
• Built custom homepage modal form integrated with Google Maps API
