Staff/Senior full-stack CMS engineer specializing in modern web platform architecture, client delivery, and production-ready headless systems.

build scalable web platforms using Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Payload CMS, with a focus on developer experience, performance, analytics, and long-term maintainability.

My work often involves leading CMS architecture, designing reusable component systems, and developing infrastructure that supports enterprise, fintech, healthcare, and growth-focused platforms.

To put that in chronological context, this chapter started at Philosophie, where I prototyped landing pages for an AI education startup and helped build a reusable component library for COOP Financial Services.

I then joined SAGO, where I contributed to the redesign of QualBoard, their market research platform, while collaborating with a strong cross-functional engineering team.

In 2024, I moved to Digital Citizen and developed high-performance websites using a headless CMS approach. I used Faust.js and WPGraphQL to deliver API-driven content to a Next.js frontend and improve cross-device performance.

That work continued at Curriculum Associates, where I helped build a reusable component library with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind, and supported a headless CMS model (Next.js + Sitecore) to improve flexibility and scalability.

At F5, I worked on a large-scale enterprise platform where search and content discovery were central to the user experience. I owned the design and implementation of Coveo's AI-powered search layer and helped extend it across the main site and multi-domain properties.

Alongside this work, I launched Ferm & Co. in 2024 as my independent software engineering consultancy, leading discovery, solution architecture, UX/UI direction, CMS modeling, implementation, deployment, and production support for clients.

Through Ferm & Co., I have delivered CMS-driven platforms such as 24X Equities, Harvest Method, and Blossom Pediatrics, pairing Next.js/TypeScript/Payload architecture with SEO/GEO, analytics, conversion strategy, and maintainable production systems.
