What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a full stack or front end position, preferably using React or WordPress.

I'm a full stack software engineer with over seven years of experience, although with a bias toward the front end. My recent role at Qualtrics involved creating a reusable Marketo form solution that standardized over 500 lead generation forms, vastly improving scalability. I also played a key role in developing a new React/Remix content delivery application to serve 1,200+ pages in 14+ languages, reducing load times by 50% compared to the previous system.

In addition to my professional experience, I maintain an open-source project, kelektiv/node-cron, which has around 2 million downloads per week. My passion for technology extends beyond coding; I volunteer at the Connections Museum as a docent and historian. I also enjoy music production and I’ve created LED light shows to synchronize with my songs using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
