About

Senior front-end developer with 5+ years shipping production WordPress and Shopify sites. At Fervor Creative, I led 50+ launches across multifamily real estate (100+ Greystar properties), nonprofit (Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, Helios Education Foundation), and enterprise (collaborations involving ASU and Starbucks). I served as primary technical contact for a 150+ site agency portfolio.

My focus is Core Web Vitals, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and technical SEO. I routinely lift Lighthouse scores by 30 to 50 points per project. I work in PHP, JavaScript, Liquid, React, and modern CSS. Based in Los Angeles, currently freelancing at Rhumbline AI, and open to senior front-end roles.

CalArts MFA | Hartford BM | snowboarder, cyclist, coffee enthusiast.
