Full Stack/UX Developer at Harvard GSD building reusable Gutenberg components for a 20+ website digital ecosystem.

Message

At Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, I lead frontend and platform development across a digital ecosystem of 20+ websites. I build reusable Gutenberg components and frontend patterns with React, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, and CSS.

I also architect and maintain REST APIs for public websites and internal applications, and build internal applications with Nuxt and Vue.js. My work includes supporting legacy Ruby- and Perl-based systems.

For Harvard GSD’s major web platform redesign, I contributed functional requirements, extensive QA validation, and technical consultation. I also ensure digital properties meet WCAG accessibility standards and institutional compliance requirements.

Previously, at New England Sports Network, I developed and maintained reusable WordPress themes and plugins for its sports media platform. I built frontend features from requirements through production and maintained advertising infrastructure using Google Ad Manager.
