• Investigate compromised WordPress applications and hosting environments, identifying infection vectors, malicious persistence mechanisms, vulnerable components, and operational impact.
• Perform forensic analysis across plugins, themes, server configuration, logs, database artifacts, and third-party integrations to restore application integrity.
• Triage vulnerability reports and bug bounty submissions by reproducing issues, validating exploitability, and documenting findings for technical and non-technical audiences.

• Provide ongoing full-stack maintenance, modernization, and production support for legacy and active client systems following prior full-time employment.
• Improve WordPress-based platforms through targeted performance, security, integration, infrastructure, and maintainability updates.

• Led a small development team of 2 engineers and 1 intern while coordinating with a web team manager on architecture, implementation planning, code review, release workflows, and production reliability.
• Built, maintained, and modernized full-stack web applications across JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, PHP, SQL, REST API integrations, WordPress, Magento, Shopify, and custom application code.
• Improved existing and legacy codebases by refactoring application logic, stabilizing integrations, standardizing Git-based deployment workflows, and reducing operational risk across active production systems.
• Resolved complex production failures across frontend behavior, backend application code, SQL queries, caching layers, DNS, hosting environments, and third-party services.
• Improved performance across production systems by addressing TTFB bottlenecks, inefficient database queries, caching behavior, script overhead, and frontend delivery issues.

• Built and maintained custom CMS-backed applications, structured content systems, administrative workflows, and integrations using PHP, JavaScript, SQL, REST APIs, React, Gutenberg, ACF, and relational database-backed content models.
• Developed reusable frontend component patterns and deployment workflows that improved maintainability and consistency across concurrent production projects.
• Translated stakeholder requirements into technical plans, estimates, implementation details, and long-term maintenance approaches for active client systems.
• Implemented accessibility, semantic markup, responsive UI patterns, and frontend performance improvements across production applications.
• Provided ongoing support, documentation, troubleshooting, and release coordination for systems used by non-technical administrative stakeholders.

• Developed and maintained CMS-driven websites, custom frontend functionality, templates, and administrative workflows using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL-backed content systems.
• Built and supported WordPress and CMS-based sites for higher-education and organizational clients, including Ohio University-related web properties.
• Worked directly with clients and stakeholders to define requirements, prioritize features, explain tradeoffs, and deliver maintainable production web systems.
• Supported migrations and modernization efforts from legacy CMS platforms to Drupal-based systems, including content transitions, template redevelopment, and long-term maintenance.

Led development of a web and hybrid mobile (iOS/Android) event platform alongside full-time engineering work.

• Built a Django-based REST API backend supporting event data, ticketing workflows, authentication, administrative tooling, and hybrid mobile clients.
• Developed hybrid mobile application interfaces using Ionic, integrating backend services for event discovery, user workflows, and production data updates.
• Managed deployment, infrastructure, issue triage, and production support for an early-stage data-driven platform.
