What I've shipped.

Designer & engineer

A static-first replacement for an over-engineered WordPress + WooCommerce setup, with custom invoicing, embedded Stripe Checkout, and Cloudflare Turnstile gating the form actions.

Lead developer

A custom internal tool built for an agency that needed to turn project-management data into financial reality faster than glued-together SaaS products could. Earned revenue, cost projections, and schedule variance across eleven internal metrics — backed by a multi-dimensional reporting engine, immutable revenue journaling, an integrated browser extension for inline time-logging, and a deliberate decision to keep every calculation deterministic.

Primary contributing developer · Lead post-launch

A WordPress Multisite framework — parent theme plus supporting plugins — for an operation running many brands in the same vertical from a single parent organization. Site-level design tokens exposed as CSS custom properties, dynamic backgrounds with section-aware padding collapse, a custom site cloner, role-scoped admin interfaces that hide complexity from each user type, and a WCAG AA discipline baked into the brand-color schema rather than bolted on.

Solo developer

A custom WordPress theme for a destination marketing organization — a single hub doing three jobs at once. Marketing the destination as a whole, surfacing a faceted-search directory of local businesses, and featuring events from an external calendar without owning the event-management surface. Built from Adobe XD designs, with FacetWP-driven listings filters, a deliberate section library, and a build pipeline that keeps brand tokens in one source file and propagates them to both the front-end Tailwind config and the WordPress block editor.

Maureen Chiquet · Solo developer

A custom WordPress theme built from the ground up — Gutenberg blocks, ACF, no parent theme, no optimization plugins. The site achieves 100/100 Lighthouse scores on both desktop and mobile through architecture rather than after-the-fact tuning. All CSS inlined in the head, per-block stylesheets that load only when a block renders, ~660 bytes of total JavaScript on a typical page, LCP image preloaded via ACF data, variable fonts, and a WebP-by-default image pipeline.

Solo developer

A custom WordPress theme for a convention and visitors bureau in a regional destination city, translated from Adobe XD designs. The distinctive feature is structural — it's effectively two coordinated brands sharing one codebase. When a visitor navigates into the convention-center section, the entire visual identity (header, footer, palette, navigation, mobile nav) shifts to a different presentation, with tasteful pass-through links back to the parent brand. Detection happens via a page-tree ancestry walk, not URL hacks or per-page templates.

Living Care Lifestyles · Solo developer

A custom WordPress theme for a senior-living organization running four sub-brand sites in a single install — no WordPress Multisite. Per-community headers, navigation, and brand presentation driven by a taxonomy-plus-URL switching mechanism, canonical and SEO fidelity per sub-site, custom maps and floor-plan filtering, and a CRM integration with TalkFurther that lets editorial wire any CTA to the right form via a URL-keyword convention.

ApproveMe · Lead frontend developer

A free, no-login email signature generator built as a top-of-funnel lead-gen tool for WP E-Signature. Eight template designs, a live-preview wizard, copyable HTML output that survives Gmail / Outlook / Apple Mail / Yahoo. I built about 30 of the 51 React components — the wizard architecture, the template renderers, the animation system, and the state/actions layer that holds it together.

Christwood, Covington, LA · Lead developer

A pixel-perfect, accessibility-aware WordPress build for a Louisiana Life Plan Community — custom ACF component builder, hand-rolled SVG section masks, and a built-in text resizer for the audience that needed it. Shipped to a 3-week deadline and still running on the same infrastructure seven years later.

ApproveMe · Solo developer

A multi-year build for the team behind WP E-Signature — managing a network of twelve interconnected WordPress sites without WordPress Multisite, via a custom global-theme infrastructure, an atomic CSS system that doubled as Gutenberg blocks, per-component asset compilation, and a coordinated sale-state engine that propagated pricing and merchandising across the whole network.

ApproveMe · Solo developer

A 100+ contract template library and membership funnel — a sister site to the main WP E-Signature storefront. The architecture is the story — a bidirectional cross-site API bridge auto-enrolls customers across both products' WordPress installs in either direction, an in-theme paywall handles first-free / annual / lifetime tiers without a gating plugin, and AppSumo partner routing is built into the funnel.

SignerX · Lead developer · Oct 2019 – Apr 2026

Lead developer for an in-flight Laravel SaaS API from 2019 to 2026 — shaped the codebase as it exists today through three major Laravel version migrations, a hybrid-encryption middleware that decrypts requests transparently to downstream code, 25 queued jobs orchestrating video transcoding and connected-service syncing, an event-driven workflow engine across 25+ domain events, and a 71-test feature suite that gates every PR.

SignerX · Lead developer · Oct 2019 – Apr 2026

Inherited a struggling deployment pipeline at SignerX in 2019; turned it into a blue/green CI/CD with symlink-based zero-downtime swaps, queue-aware deploys, and dual rollback paths — then right-sized the underlying infrastructure to match a still-in-build-mode operation. Saved roughly $40,000 a year with no service loss, and bought enough runway for the platform to grow past 2,000 users before any of those decisions had to change.

SignerX · Lead developer · Oct 2019 – Apr 2026

A supporting connector for the SignerX API — a published Zapier integration that lets any SignerX user wire document-signing events into the rest of their stack without writing code. Built across both halves of the system — the Zapier app (Node + Zapier Platform CLI, OAuth2 with PKCE, hidden lookups powering dynamic dropdowns) and the SignerX API (extended Passport OAuth client for branded consent, response-shaping middleware to keep the Zapier app declarative).

Pacific Zen Institute · Solo developer · 8-year engagement

An ongoing, multi-phase rebuild for a non-profit teaching organization. Started as a paywall rescue; grew into commerce, learning paths, a Gutenberg refactor, and a search-driven library archive. The throughline across every phase has been the same goal — liberate the team from lock-in and put control back in their hands.

iFoundAgent · Senior WordPress developer · 2015–2019

Nearly five years as a senior WordPress developer inside a real-estate-focused platform — proprietary IDX (MLS) integration, proprietary plugins, Genesis-based parent themes, and over 2,000 sites running across multiple WordPress Multisite networks. The work was a mix of network-level features, semi-custom child themes for the bulk of agents, and a few full custom builds for the agents whose brands warranted them.
