Work Experience

Owner

2000 - PRESENT
Metaweb Development
  • Developed a new intranet/employee portal for a worldwide staffing company for payroll, messaging, employee food and beverage system, and news blog. Systems used included WordPress, Laravel, Node.js, and Vue.js integrated with the WordPress RESTful API.
  • Built a PWA bus scanning system for a major company. I provided the bus route for large city transit to and from work leveraging Vue CLI, indexedDB, WordPress, and Workbox. This project required me to develop an efficient method to connect Workbox and WordPress.
  • Converted a non-performing WordPress template website with significant site speed issues from a score of 22 for mobile and 36 for desktop to 100 on both scores using Workbox, Custom Caching, HyperDB, and transients to reduce database transfers.
  • Created a custom WordPress plugin via PHP and JavaScript that monitors password security and current usage in the dark web. Leveraged user settings for custom display messages before and after login, login rejection, and forcing password changes.
