I am a seasoned full stack developer and WordPress specialist with 17 years of experience building fast, ADA-accessible, and highly reliable websites. My career has been dedicated to creating custom themes, complex plugins, and technical systems for organizations that serve the public good. In my most recent role at Trillium Solutions (acquired by Optibus), I specialized in the high-stakes world of public transit. I developed GTFS-integrated tools, interactive maps, and back-end systems used daily by thousands of riders. This environment required a deep commitment to performance and security, as well as the ability to translate complex data into intuitive user experiences. A key achievement was establishing our organization-wide accessibility standards, where I standardized development to meet WCAG Level AA across all project sites, ensuring vital information remained reachable for all users.
