Web Development & UX/UI
Bridging 15 years of IT systems architecture with responsive web development and intuitive UX/UI design. I leverage a deep technical background to build functional, user-centric digital experiences across WordPress and modern front-end frameworks.
Coast to Coast Calibrations
- The Challenge: The client’s legacy WordPress theme was sunsetting, creating an urgent need to migrate the decently sized live site to a new theme within a 30-day deadline to maintain functionality and prevent downtime.
- The Action: I rebuilt the foundational page structures across 20+ pages to restore visual fidelity after layouts broke during the initial transfer. I engineered specific desktop and mobile sections for full cross-device responsiveness and manually reconstructed 20+ Slider Revolution page headers.
- The Result: A successfully modernized, visually consistent, and fully responsive website launched within the 30-day deadline, maintaining the underlying site architecture and securing the client’s web presence.

Phantom.gg
A mock boutique PC peripheral store built on WordPress utilizing WooCommerce.
- The Challenge: The project required efficiently populating an e-commerce store with a standardized product catalog and optimized media without relying on manual, individual data entry.
- The Action: I built a structured 30-product database via spreadsheet for a bulk CSV import into WooCommerce and standardized all product imagery using Adobe Photoshop to ensure uniform aspect ratios and optimal performance.
- The Result: A visually consistent, functional mock boutique store that demonstrates a scalable, IT-minded approach to e-commerce inventory management.
GT3xD
An informational WordPress site detailing GT3 race cars and sim racing.
- The Challenge: The goal was to build a comprehensive, multi-page informational site (spanning a main hub, 5 distinct manufacturer pages, and a blog) while testing the limits of native WordPress layout capabilities.
- The Action: I heavily customized native block settings to create distinct layouts for each manufacturer and curated high-resolution, context-specific imagery to ensure visual fidelity matched the complex site architecture.
- The Result: A highly detailed, realistic automotive database that proves my ability to organize deep information architecture and push the boundaries of standard block configurations.
Pet Pantry
A self-installed WordPress CMS project for a mock local client.
- The Challenge: A local pet pantry required a dedicated digital presence to expand community reach and drive actionable support (donations and volunteering).
- The Action: I designed a conversion-focused WordPress layout featuring persistent Call-to-Action (CTA) elements across every page and structured clear, accessible user pathways for monetary donations, physical supply drop-offs, and volunteer sign-ups.
- The Result: An intuitive, user-friendly CMS build that effectively translates a physical community need into a functional, goal-oriented digital interface.
