Senior front-end role with React or CMS customization (Squarespace/WordPress), remote US, async-friendly.

John Langston
@johnlangston
I build responsive, accessible CMS-driven interfaces with React, Vue, JavaScript, and Node.js.
What I'm looking for
I've built responsive, accessible web interfaces across CMS-driven sites, full-stack applications, and marketing experiences. At Motiv, I helped refactor 2,000+ pages across six Cayman Islands government sites on Oracle Content Management.
I owned server setup and batch content migration, then built reusable CMS components and more than 200 implementation documents so future pages did not require one-off templates. At The Sails Company, I built Vue, Sails.js, and Node applications for clients serving 10,000+ active users and integrated tools including Zoho CRM and Stripe.
Most recently, I've built the Crystal Conquest marketing site at Mystic Interactive, connecting HubSpot for forms, tracking, and publishing. I also refine AI-training prompts and model outputs across projects for companies including OpenAI, Meta, and Scale.
