What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my technical skills and allows for leadership opportunities in a collaborative environment.

I am a results-driven Senior Front-End Developer with over 15 years of experience in UI/UX development, specializing in designing and implementing user-centered, scalable digital experiences. My proficiency in Drupal and modern front-end technologies has allowed me to enhance user engagement through thoughtful, data-informed solutions. I thrive in Agile teams, collaborating cross-functionally to deliver high-impact web solutions both nationally and globally.

Throughout my career, I have led innovative, award-winning projects, including learning management systems and digital optimization initiatives. My recent role as a Senior Front-End Drupal Developer at Aleut Federal involved collaborating with UX designers and back-end developers to enhance nitaac.nih.gov using Drupal 10. I successfully developed and launched a Google Dialogflow chatbot, significantly improving customer support options. I am now eager to apply my technical expertise and leadership skills in a challenging new role.
