i About Me

About

I'm a Technical Implementation Specialist with more than ten years of experience configuring integrations, setting up leads, and solving the problems that come up between a finished design and a successful launch. I started as a high-school intern and have grown into a senior, technically-focused role across every part of the implementation pipeline--from CMS work to hosting and redirects.

I focus on the details that make a launch hold up: the integration that finally fires correctly, the redirect map that survives a domain change, the small CMS quirk worth escalating. I'm happiest when I'm helping the rest of the team move faster.

Career Highlight

Built and maintained the G5 CMS Dark Theme Chrome extension for over five years. It modernizes the CMS interface, adds quality-of-life features, and improves responsiveness across a wide range of screen resolutions--used daily by roughly 50 internal users.

Personal website Ongoing

recalls.zone--a hand-built personal site styled after the consumer desktop computing I grew up with. The HTML and CSS are written by hand; the JavaScript is where I'm still learning, with Claude as an on-call tutor.
