Where I've
worked.

1. Independent Software Engineer & Consultant

   Nov 2025 – Present

   Freelance

   • Partner with clients as a senior technical lead, owning delivery end to end — from discovery and architecture through build, launch, and handoff — while translating business goals into maintainable, well-tested systems.
   • Conduct technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, structured-data, and AI Search Readiness audits to identify opportunities that improve website performance, search visibility, and how effectively content is understood by search engines and AI-powered systems.
   • Implement prioritized improvements across WordPress, headless CMS, React, and Next.js websites, including performance optimization, semantic structure, schema markup, internal linking, content architecture, and technical SEO.
   • Lead WordPress and Drupal migrations, rebrands, and platform improvements, modernizing legacy templates, content models, and editorial workflows while protecting SEO value and minimizing downtime.
   • Architect and build modern websites from scratch using React, Next.js, and headless CMS platforms, pairing fast, accessible front ends with scalable authoring experiences that teams can manage independently.
2. Senior Software Engineer / Development Manager

   May 2023 – Nov 2025

   NASCAR

   • Rebuilt My Profile and Fan Rewards across WordPress, React, and PHP APIs with Auth0/OIDC authentication, session handling, driver preferences, subscriptions, and loyalty data — defining API contracts and validating account flows with automated and manual regression testing.
   • Built API-driven content workflows that transformed race schedules, driver data, and editorial feeds into reusable Adobe Journey Optimizer email templates, replacing manual campaign assembly with structured, testable integrations.
   • Maintained WordPress as a shared content backend for web and React Native apps — developing REST endpoints, content models, and caching used by both traditional and React-based frontends.
   • Led delivery of responsive WordPress properties and internal publishing tools, balancing editor usability, component reuse, accessibility, performance, and reliable multi-environment deployment.
3. Senior Software Engineer

   Aug 2022 – May 2023

   AlphaSense

   • Worked on a WordPress-powered content platform with a React/Next.js frontend, reducing plugin dependence and improving the maintainability and performance of shared page components, content APIs, and publishing workflows.
   • Implemented the ALFred product demo — connecting an LLM-driven conversational interface to AlphaSense product APIs, building the web experience, request flow, and prompt behavior used to demonstrate capabilities to prospective customers.
   • Built and tested REST integrations, resolved Core Web Vitals issues, and verified responsive behavior, accessibility, and releases across supported environments.
4. Senior Software Engineer

   Apr 2022 – Aug 2022

   PriceWeber

   • Delivered custom WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, and CSS implementations for enterprise marketing programs, connecting frontend components to CMS content and external APIs.
   • Performed cross-browser, responsive, accessibility, SEO, and performance validation before production releases, translating audit findings into actionable engineering work.
5. Software Engineer

   Jun 2019 – May 2022

   Sagefrog Marketing Group

   • Built and maintained more than 30 B2B websites using custom WordPress themes, plugins, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, MySQL, and third-party integrations.
   • Architected a headless WordPress + Vue.js platform for John Vena Inc., defining content models and REST endpoints that separated editorial workflows from the customer-facing application.
   • Established reusable development patterns, code-review practices, and launch checklists covering responsive behavior, accessibility, SEO, and performance — and mentored developers.
