I started my web design and development journey with a UI/UX boot camp at Helio Training
and furthered my education with a Computer Science degree from Salt Lake Community College,
focusing on web development. I've gained experience with various software and programming
languages, some of which I've outlined below:
Led & trained a team of junior WordPress developers to create
60+ sites in Wordpress and Shopify from design to
delivered product, worth up to 300k.
Ensure cross-browser, cross-platform compatibility for all web
solutions and perform any necessary QA on finished products.
Utilized HTML/CSS, PHP and jQuery to build out site features,
including custom widgets, specialized blogs, and custom post types
for WordPress and Shopify sites.
Collaborated with designers to ensure design vision is maintained,
final build is standards-compliant, and UI deliverables are
completed on time.
Optimized website loading time performance by an average of
70%.
Discovered or created best practices for development work and
maintained documentations & consistency.
Assist with helpdesk tickets, developer requests from team and
partners, providing maintenance support for sites, and handling
last minute changes from leadership.
Assisted with designing and maintaining AWS EC2, including
database and server integration.
DNS management, FTP transfers, cPanel and WHM installation,
configuration & troubleshooting.
Led & participated in effective Agile development with daily scrum
and biweekly sprint planning.
Maintained a portfolio of up to 40 clients' website contracts
worth around 85k annually.
Managed the GTM calendar and pipeline of activities from
on-boarding, asset discovery to Launch.
Designed, developed, and delivered client websites from the
initial concept, site architecture, to the finished deliverable.
Optimized customer experiences by generating more eCOMM and
seasonal offerings - restaurants, venue packages, tournaments,
etc. -- resulting in a 50% increase in bookings across the
portfolio.
Created a process around the use of re-usable code libraries to
streamline the WordPress development life cycle.
Comfortable and confident with B2B client-facing stakeholder
conversations
Improved organic search rankings for designed and existing sites,
driving acquisition up by an average of 60%
Met with our client stakeholders regularly, or on an as-needed
basis, to maintain a current understanding of their needs and
preferences, resolve issues they may have, and build up brand
loyalty.
Resolved ~150 tickets per week from our clients, prioritizing work
based on the criticality of each update or request, or fix.
Took every chance to learn about golf course management at all
levels and improve team member support.
