About Me

The person
behind the code

I build fast, intuitive interfaces that turn complex data and workflows into clear, actionable experiences — making powerful systems feel simple and navigable.

With 6+ years of experience, I'm strong in React, Next.js, and TypeScript with full-stack capability across Node.js, Python, and REST APIs — plus hands-on publishing experience across Sitecore, WordPress, and Webflow CMS. I bring a designer's eye to interaction design and information architecture.

I care about the craft — accessible, fast, and built to last — from pixel-perfect interfaces to flawlessly published content. I'm fluent in AI-assisted development with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot, and deeply interested in AI-native, agent-driven systems.

Work History

Professional Experience

Senior Web Developer
Sep 2023 — Present
Medical University of South Carolina — Advancement & Fundraising
  • Build and maintain the digital web infrastructure for MUSC Foundation leveraging HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and PHP, leading to multi-million dollar campaigns and donor engagement programs.
  • Redesigned and relaunched MUSC Foundation's donor-facing micro-sites on Sitecore CMS, driving a 70% increase in stakeholder engagement and directly improving campaign conversion rates.
  • Implemented SEO best practices across all MUSC Foundation web properties — including meta tag optimisation, structured data (JSON-LD schema), sitemap management, and keyword-aligned content updates — improving organic visibility and search ranking for key fundraising pages.
  • Maintained 99.9% uptime across all fundraising platforms during high-traffic giving events including Giving Tuesday and year-end campaigns, ensuring zero donor drop-off during critical fundraising windows.
  • Ensured all fundraising and donor communication platforms met 100% WCAG 2.1 compliance, expanding accessibility to a broader donor base and reducing institutional legal risk.
  • Collaborated with the MUSC Foundation's advancement and communications teams to align digital experiences with fundraising goals and institutional brand standards — fulfilling content requests received through Asana, partnering with design engineers to ensure content was implemented on the web precisely as designed, and taking ownership of day-to-day website maintenance, content updates, and cross-departmental stakeholder coordination.
Lead Full Stack Developer
May 2019 — Jun 2021
Enam Technology Solutions Limited
  • Took full technical ownership of frontend and backend architecture across multiple client projects, leading a team of junior developers and establishing the engineering processes — agile sprints, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines — that enabled the team to ship faster and with fewer defects.
  • Architected modular, component-driven UIs in React.js, Next.js, and Vue.js that reduced development time on new features by reusing shared design system components across client projects.
  • Built secure RESTful APIs consumed by both web and mobile clients, enabling parallel frontend and mobile development and significantly cutting integration time.
  • Introduced TypeScript across the frontend codebase, reducing runtime errors and improving developer confidence during fast-paced iteration cycles.
  • Drove SEO strategy and optimisation across client web properties — implementing keyword targeting, meta optimisation, and structured data — and used Google Analytics to track performance, identify high-impact pages, and guide data-driven improvements to user experience and content strategy.
  • Developed server-side features and REST APIs using Python and Django, handling business logic, database models, and authentication flows that powered several client-facing web applications.
  • Translated ambiguous client briefs into concrete technical specifications, reducing scope creep and taking products from zero to production-ready launch.
  • Designed and developed custom WordPress themes and responsive Webflow sites for multiple client websites, building pixel-perfect, brand-aligned sites with custom page templates, responsive layouts, and optimised performance — delivering fully tailored web experiences without reliance on off-the-shelf themes.
