About Me
As a front-end developer and graphic designer, I am passionate about the intricate workings of technology and its impact on our daily lives. My focus lies in crafting streamlined user experiences that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of working at Media Results, a Boston-based marketing firm specializing in serving automotive dealerships. Through this experience, I have honed my skills in web development and gained valuable expertise in working with WordPress.
In my free time I like to spend time with my cats, mod video game consoles, and relax in the tiny house I've built for myself.
Web Projects
Listed below are some highlighted examples of web projects I have completed. These are projects where I was the primary developer, and showcase my skills in front-end development and UI/UX design.
Reliable Fence Company
As their company gew rapidly, Reliable Fence Boston needed an updated website to meet their growing demands. Built almost entirely with the new Wordpress block editor, their new site is lightweight, responsive, and focuses on highlighting their existing projects.
View WebsiteAutomotive SEO Templates
For my position at Media Results, I am responsible for the development of SEO content templates. Our company and our clients publish large amounts of articles monthly, and so they require webpage templates that are easy to use and result in code that performs well on search engines. I have built templates for dozens of auto dealerships, mostly located in New England.
Example ArticleForever Metal Roofing
Using my experience with Wordpress, I rebuilt Forever Metal Roofing's website from the ground up. I programmed custom theme files using PHP and JavaScript so the website was just as functional as their last, but simplified and streamlined so it would load quickly and index well with search engines.
View WebsiteNouli
Nouli is an example restaurant menu website I designed, programmed and submitted for a midterm while attending Chattanooga State. The assignment was to create a simple commercial website using only PHP and CSS, so I created a fictitious noodle restaurant to show how rendering repetitive elements on a menu website could be automated and streamlined with PHP.
View ProjectHometown Grocery
After their opening in December 2023, Hometown Grocery needed an online presence so that their new customer base could find them. I worked with their owner to develop a website to showcase their new location and help customers get in contact with them. I also went through the process of listing Hometown on Google Maps, helping new customers find them when searching for places to buy groceries nearby.
View WebsiteLove Your Laundry
When Love Your Laundry approached us, their current website was performing poorly. Reliance on bloated plugins and theming engines had increased loading times and reduced SEO performance. I rebuilt their site using a much simpler install of Wordpress. and then recreated a similar yet cleaner design language across their site with CSS.
View WebsiteAnchor Collision
One of our automotive clients were opening a collision center under their new Anchor brand and needed a website to accompany the launch. With a target audience of businesses and law enforcement agencies, their website needed to be informational yet premium in feel. I built the site with Wordpress using design mockups provided by my coworkers.
View WebsiteDirt Surfer
When a family friend of ours started their light excavation business, they wanted memorable branding and an easy way for customers to discover their services. I designed their logo and website to be simple, inviting, and communicative. I built their Wordpress site to be as lightweight as possible while still remaining SEO-friendly.
View WebsiteDesigns
These are some examples of logos and logotypes I've designed. I've been using Adobe Illustrator since 2011 to create and manipulate vector graphics, but have also used hand-drawn designs as a starting point for more complicated works. I also use Adobe Photoshop to composite and export designs.
