He/They

CMS Lead Developer at AccuWeather

Philipsburg, Pennsylvania

Platform Engineering • Product Delivery • WordPress VIP

I build platform and product systems that turn ambiguous business needs into reliable delivery.

I bridge product management and technical execution across CMS, frontend, backend, infrastructure, and developer workflows.

Selected Projects

Representative work focused on architecture, execution, and outcomes.

WordPress VIP Platform Operations

Problem: Editorial and product stakeholders needed predictable delivery while platform responsibilities were split across teams.

Stack: WordPress VIP, PHP, JavaScript, GitHub CI/CD, release process design

Outcome: Established an ownership model and repeatable release workflows that improved delivery confidence and reduced cross-team bottlenecks.

Headless Content and Frontend Delivery

Problem: Digital experiences required faster iteration without coupling every change to monolithic CMS templates.

Stack: React, TypeScript, API integrations, component architecture

Outcome: Improved release agility through clearer frontend boundaries and reusable components across product initiatives.

Cross-System Product Execution

Problem: Business requirements regularly spanned identity, infrastructure, frontend, and backend concerns with unclear implementation paths.

Stack: .NET, C#, TypeScript, PHP, Java, CDNs, process automation

Outcome: Translated ambiguous requests into structured delivery plans and technical execution that shipped reliably.

Developer Experience and Automation

Problem: Teams were slowed by undocumented workflows and repetitive manual steps in day-to-day delivery.

Stack: Node.js, Python, shell, GitHub CI pipelines, tooling standards

Outcome: Created internal tooling and automation patterns that lowered maintenance friction and improved team throughput.

Short Bio

My operating style and technical center of gravity.

I am a senior, full-stack software engineer with 10+ years of experience whose actual center of gravity is systems thinking — I operate fluently across frontend, backend, infrastructure, networking, identity, and developer experience. I bridge product management and technical execution, which means I don't just ship features — I translate ambiguous business intent into structured technical reality. Across the AI Warehouse, the same pattern repeats: when something is chaotic, undocumented, or owned by no one, I absorb it, structure it, and automate it. That is my professional signature.
