With nearly two decades of experience in web design and development, I bring a unique combination of creativity and technical expertise to every project. My journey began at the age of 12, crafting fun websites for friends before expanding to create informative sites for small businesses and eventually launching a successful technology review website.
My skills soon caught the attention of one of our advertisers, RadTech, who hired me as their Creative Marketing Director. Working alongside a small team, I helped transform the company's sales from $250k to an impressive $5m by building a compelling brand, optimizing the checkout process UX, improving SEO, and cultivating a loyal social media following.
Over the years, I've honed my abilities to build user-friendly web applications, grow brands, increase organic and paid traffic, and utilize social media to establish trust with customers. At Laird Technologies, I was instrumental in reorganizing the company into five distinct entities with their own websites, including Laird Connectivity, where I currently serve as Senior Web Developer.
In this role, I've taken charge of both front-end and back-end website development while also leading digital marketing efforts including SEM and analyzing critical analytics. I've also built a tailored CMS framework that allows us to manage the site with ease at lightning-fast speeds. In fact, our average page load time has improved by a staggering 300% from our previous site built on Drupal.
At my core, I'm a problem solver who thrives on designing and developing user-friendly web apps, creating successful digital marketing campaigns, and analyzing data to improve performance.
