Web Developer for Qadium
Qadium Inc. was a cybersecurity and internet-intelligence startup founded in 2012 by former CIA analyst Tim
Junio and
Matt Kraning. Qadium is now Expanse.co .
Qadium's tech challenge was that their marketing website was connected to their product lifecycles — being
dependent on the applications sprint cycles, the marketing team was unable to release timely materials with
quick turn-around. The app development team was also swamped and unable to meet their requests. I was brought
on as additional support for marketing content while I researched tech stacks and presented to the C-suite my
findings on platforms that would better suit their needs. Researched using a headless Wordpress CMS with React
front-end. Settled on a clean, custom Wordpress template that would allow a much sorter turn-around of
materials. Created timelines and using their design system, created an on-brand design. Provided qadium with
in-depth development and release processes so they could continue to support the site independently from the
app dev team.

Webflow Developer for Jolene
I've helped Jolene transform her website twice in the past decade. I first helped Jolene update her simple
website into a modern design in a custom Wordpress Template. Years later, she contracted someone to redesign
her site and move it to Webflow. It was in good shape but needed better mobile support and needed quite a bit
of content tweaking. I was able to simplify her workflow and get her site looking good on all screen sizes.
I also improved her local SEO and created a postcard campaign for her to drum up local business.
