Experience
Full Stack Lead Web Developer (Contract), Sandbox, Sebastopol CA
September 2022 - Present
I architected, built and maintain a carbon impact calculator web app for the landscape design space. We are continually adding features. During the discovery and development process I took the product from the previous MVP that was buggy and hard to use to a performant and user-friendly experience. The app uses a headless JS stack: Next.js/Vercel - Strapi/Heroku; using MUI, Cloudinary and Stripe. I was able to replace the charting library we used at launch with components relying on pure CSS, eliminating a problematic dependency and the biggest performance bottleneck. I also built and maintain a custom theme for the company's WordPress website. I work directly with the founder as technical lead.

March 2018 - September 2022
I built and maintained SMB and nonprofit web apps and websites in WordPress, React/ node.js, and Shopify. Flight LLC was a design-driven branding and development agency. I worked directly under the technical and design founders and collaborated with many other contractor roles to deliver high quality, accessible and converting web experiences. I built custom themes and apps from mockups and modified existing themes. I worked with major WordPress themes and page builders as well as building custom themes using underscores and ACF. I set up and maintained hosting on various providers including Vercel, Heroku, cPanel (eg Siteground), and WPEngine.
Experience
Web Developer, TIV Branding, Santa Rosa CA
May 2016 - March 2018
I built and maintained enterprise and SMB websites on WordPress, Drupal and other technologies. All work used custom themes including underscores, Bootstrap, ACF, Gravity Forms and other major plugins and integrations. TIV hosts approximately 200 SMB sites on CentOS (linux) running on Rackspace / Plesk. I built custom themes start to finish from Photoshop mockups and performed fast-turnaround updates and maintenance on WordPress and Drupal sites. I also worked on Shopify, Craft CMS and Rails sites.
Freelance Music Producer / Engineer - 16 years full time in Los Angeles CA
1998 - 2014
I created, engineered, performed and supervised top quality music for original musical artists in business settings ranging from major record labels (Capitol, Warner) to independent music releases and support functions such as background music services, in one of the world's top 4 major markets. This job combines expertise in multiple "hard" technical areas (including digital and analog audio) with a range of creative, personal, organizational and business-related skills analagous to program management, design, content creation, and engineering management. Requires performing at a consistently excellent level while working long hours (12+ hrs/day is the norm), implementing various creative and technical tradeoffs under deadline and budget pressure, keeping various personalities productive and cooperative, and all the other challenges inherent in a business that is equal parts technical and creative - in both distributed and "everyone in one room for months" teams.
