PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Senior Web Developer | BrandExtract

Hybrid / Houston, TX | 12/17/2012 – 02/09/2026

  • Developer Autonomy & Workflow: Engineered a custom Node.js local development server to emulate legacy Windows/IIS/ASP environments. This allowed developers to work independently and offline, removing dependencies on shared staging servers and eliminating "save-over" conflicts inherent in FTP-based workflows.
  • Modular Architecture Migration: Designed and implemented a proprietary HTML-to-XSLT template engine that shifted the codebase from monolithic files to standalone components. This enabled team members to take full ownership of project features, reducing the need for constant peer intervention.
  • Process Modernization: Spearheaded the organizational transition to Tailwind CSS, streamlining UI development and reducing page build-times from 1 week to 1 day—a 5x improvement in team velocity.
  • Enterprise Project Leadership: Led end-to-end development for high-stakes enterprise clients including Marathon Petroleum, Stellar Bank, and TAM International, ensuring 100% compliance with security and WCAG accessibility standards.
  • Remote Efficiency: Leveraged internal tooling to maintain high output during the company's shift to remote-only work, ensuring that decentralized team members could deploy modular, error-free code without technical bottlenecks.

LEADERSHIP & RECOGNITION

  • Peer Recognition: Multiple-time recipient of "The Bird" weekly peer-to-peer recognition for technical support and team contribution.
  • Internal Commendations: Frequently recognized by the Development Department (Quarterly) for excellence in technical problem-solving and workflow optimization.

KEY PROJECTS & PORTFOLIO

  • Energy & Infrastructure: marathonpetroleum.com, marathonpipeline.com, tamintl.com, bgeinc.com.
  • Finance & Banking: stellar.bank (Built for high security and regulatory compliance).
  • Technical Interests: Active development in Elixir and Erlang (OTP) for high-concurrency side projects and fault-tolerant system research.
