Full-Stack Development

Modern, responsive web solutions — built to solve problems, not just showcase skills.

I build full-stack applications that balance technical depth with usability, accessibility, and long-term maintainability. Whether I’m developing front-end components with semantic markup and scalable CSS systems, or engineering back-end logic with PHP, APIs, and databases — I focus on creating experiences that feel intuitive and purposeful.

I’ve worked across CMS platforms, e-commerce ecosystems, and custom frameworks, often blending design precision with rigorous functionality. For me, clean code isn’t just a style — it’s a statement of respect for the user and for those maintaining the product later.

Accessibility-First by Design

Technology should never be exclusive. I integrate accessibility principles from day one — not as compliance, but as respect.

🔹 How I Build Accessibly

  • Semantic HTML structure with ARIA support

  • Color, contrast, and motion choices that prioritize visibility and comfort

  • Keyboard navigation and skip links for fast, predictable flow

  • WCAG-aligned markup and validation practices

  • Inclusive copy and interaction patterns for neurodiverse users

  • Collaboratively tested interfaces that reflect lived experience

🔹 Why This Matters Accessible systems benefit everyone — faster navigation, clearer interfaces, and broader reach. I don’t treat it like an extra; I treat it like essential engineering.

Design & UI Engineering

I craft user interfaces that are responsive, accessible, and built with performance in mind.

🔹 What I Build

  • Semantic HTML/HTML5 with accessibility baked in

  • Responsive CSS using ITCSS, SCSS, and BEM conventions

  • JavaScript (ES6+), jQuery, AJAX, and component-driven interactions

  • Optimized UIs for speed, clarity, and cross-device consistency

  • Front-end equivalents for plug-ins to reduce dependency bloat

🔹 Why It Matters Users don’t care what’s under the hood — they care how the site feels. I make sure it feels fast, clear, and thoughtful.

Backend Logic & API Integration

I develop backend systems that are secure, efficient, and scalable to fit growing needs.

🔹 Tools I Use

  • PHP (procedural and object-oriented), MySQL/MongoDB

  • RESTful APIs, JSON, XML, XSLT for flexible data handling

  • CMS frameworks with custom templates and routing (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla)

  • Server-side includes and conditional logic for lean delivery

  • Authentication, form handling, and data validation practices

🔹 My Approach Backend code should support the user’s goals — invisibly and reliably. I build modular, maintainable logic that enables teams, not burdens them.

CMS & E-Commerce Platforms

I customize and extend content and storefront systems to match each business's identity and operational flow.

🔹 Platforms I’ve Worked With

  • WordPress (themes, plug-ins, custom post types)

  • Shopify & BigCommerce (Liquid templating, storefront logic, custom apps)

  • Squarespace (page structure, code injection, visual strategy)

  • Custom CMS setups using Twig or Handlebars

🔹 Why Clients Value This I help them say “We built this for our users” — not “We just installed a theme.” Every decision supports experience, branding, and process alignment.

Developer Tools & Workflow

I build with foresight — using versioning, task runners, and clear communication.

🔹 Workflow Stack

  • VS Code, Git, Bitbucket, Jira for project coordination

  • Node.js, Grunt, and CLI tooling when needed

  • Code validation, formatting, and deployment control

  • Wireframing or mockup validation with XD, Photoshop, or Illustrator

  • Clear documentation and reusable structures for scale

🔹 My Philosophy Tools should amplify intention — I use ones that support clarity, speed, and collaboration across any kind of team.

A website page with a red and orange header that says, "Adhering medical devices can be difficult. Let's find the right adhesive solutions for your device." Below, five options in boxes are presented for selecting adhesive solutions for medical devices. The options include: 1) holding device components together, 2) sticking a device to skin, 3) overlaying or covering a device, 4) moving fluid, and 5) delivering an active ingredient through the skin.

Real-World Impact:

3M “Find My Adhesive” Application

  • The “Find My Adhesive” application was a ground-up reengineering effort to replace a legacy tool that had outlived its usefulness. I was tasked with designing a dynamic, intuitive solution for 3M’s Medical Device Components division — one that could guide users to the right adhesive based on their unique application needs.

  • There were several technical and functional hurdles:

    • The UI was defined by an external agency and had to be seamlessly integrated into 3M’s internal platform.

    • The application needed to be fully dynamic — allowing for products to be added, removed, or reclassified without developer intervention.

    • Logic had to support question-driven filtering, where a user’s responses could surface the most relevant adhesive products.

    • Products had to be tied to tags based on the question paths — yet the 3M product catalog did not support tagging, which meant inventing a clean, scalable workaround.

  • I architected a flexible system using structured JSON data files to drive every aspect of the experience:

    • App Configuration: Controlled URLs, UI styling (classes and IDs), titles, and layout references across the app.

    • Questions Data: Contained the full decision tree, complete with tag logic that represented each selectable user response.

    • Product Data: Listed adhesive products, catalog URLs, and the question tags they matched — allowing the tool to filter intelligently.

    This approach gave marketers full control over updates via the data files, without needing development resources. The logic was modular and extensible, but also intuitive — described by stakeholders as “complex, but surprisingly simple once you saw how it fit together.”

  • The tool launched in 2018 and continues to serve engineers and device manufacturers to this day — driving product discovery, supporting self-service, and powering internal lead generation.

    • Increased warm lead generation by 300%

    • Simplified user experience for a highly technical product line

    • Empowered marketing teams to maintain product logic autonomously

    • Proven long-term value with no major refactoring needed years later

    The Find My Adhesive app remains a prime example of how full-stack development — when guided by real use cases — can produce enduring, scalable impact.

Evolving as a Full-Stack Developer

I've spent over two decades building web solutions from the ground up — starting with static sites and Flash-era design, and growing into full-stack applications built on modern frameworks, scalable databases, and accessible front-end systems.

Along the way, I’ve continually refined my craft through hands-on projects, client feedback, and intentional self-study. Whether learning new templating engines, diving into accessibility standards, or exploring CMS internals, I stay committed to evolving not just with tech trends, but with the needs of the people using the tools I build.

I see continued education as an investment in clarity, reliability, and long-term impact — because good development isn’t just knowing what works now, but understanding how to make it work tomorrow.
