Short overview of my recent work.

I bring with me a combination of web platform experience, people leadership, and practical AI adoption. I’m comfortable leading teams through change, setting technical direction, and delivering high-impact work at scale. I’m excited about this role because it aligns closely with how I already operate and where I see the future of web development heading.

Ameriprise Financial

Leading the Platform Capabilities & Enablement team, developing customer experience platforms including content management systems, headless CMS architecture, APIs, video player creation, elastic search, and cloud
enablement for Ameriprise and subsidiaries.

Partnered with DevSecOps to standardize department-wide linting, security scanning, and Xray policies, reducing build failures and establishing clear, enforceable quality and security rulesets across pipelines.

Led the design and delivery of an internal developer onboarding and learning portal built on Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, reducing time-to-first-contribution from four weeks to one week. Achieved a 75% reduction in onboarding time while standardizing developer enablement across teams and lowering senior engineer dependency.

Designed and launched a centralized video learning portal using React and TypeScript, integrated with external content REST APIs, to host onboarding, KT, and vendor technical sessions. Enabled asynchronous, on-demand learning across departments and significantly reduced developer-led knowledge transfer sessions and ad-hoc documentation.

Directed the consolidation of 20+ standalone Git repositories into a monorepo architecture, modernizing CI/CD pipelines to align with Jenkins Shared Library best practices and enterprise standards including JPM, Hamcrest, and Git. Introduced automated email notifications with direct Jenkins console links, enabling developer self-service troubleshooting and reducing DevOps involvement by 30%.

Led the development of a Content Inventory Audit capability for Bloomreach CMS using Java, React, and TypeScript to enforce FINRA compliance across all product teams. Integrated external AdTrax REST APIs to ensure all content was uniquely identifiable and traceable, preventing non-compliant content from being published, reducing regulatory risk, and saving product teams approximately 30% in manual content tracking effort.

Defined and rolled out a standardized SPA architecture package for frontend teams, enabling rapid conversion of static pages into CMS-driven React SPAs. Reduced page modernization and conversion timelines by 40% while improving consistency, maintainability, and long-term scalability.

Led the migration of the company’s Newsroom pages from an external vendor to an internally owned React and TypeScript SPA backed by REST APIs. Eliminated vendor dependency and delivered six-figure annual cost savings. Developed and delivered a CMS training curriculum enabling teams to self-manage content updates.

Delivered a self-service HTML email editor in React and TypeScript that enabled business units to generate standards-compliant HTML email outputs without engineering involvement, reducing delivery bottlenecks and accelerating campaign execution.

Led the migration of 20+ locally hosted applications to AWS EKS, establishing containerization and deployment standards using Bitbucket, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and Podman. Authored architectural specifications, capacity and traffic forecasts, migration timelines, and risk plans; provided executive-level project tracking and reporting through completion. Improved system reliability to 99% uptime while reducing infrastructure costs.

College of the Holy Cross

Bau, Full Redesign, mobile port and Subsidary websites

The goal
The primary goal was a Drupal version step with a redesign of the main web vehicle. Secondarily we wanted to move the website into a current version CMS environment that would allow more flexible content display and also reduce the amount of content authors with access to the website to limit accessibility exposure.

The design phase
Creating information architecture mapping and a set of responsive annotated wireframes and a proposed site map, validated by mapped student experience journeys. We partnered with an agency to develop new templates under our guidance and quality control.

The design intention
We wanted to create consistency and alignment between different parts of the digital experience. In redesigning our content components, we solved the issue of finding the right balance between providing enough flexibility to the content authors but also limiting some of the core functionality for editors – this provides a consistent user experience and limits accessibility problem exposure.

The result
The redesigned responsive site launched in 2021 and provided a new platform for further consolidation of dispersed digital experiences.
Metrics showed a continued increase among mobile users, a trend that started with the last redesign 2015. With the new set of assets, I updated the remaining web vehicles to follow the refreshed look and feel.

Challenges
Updating the CMS two version steps, this included a new Database design structure in a very content heavy website.
Creating information architecture that spans across multiple online vehicles.

My contribution
Deliver Main level navigation from wireframes, user stories, user flow studies.
Data import via Api from other College web vehicles like Newsroom.
Information architecture mapping to exchange information across ecosystems.
Template and functionality creation from Design/Wireframes/Component UI.
Performance testing/accessibility/usability testing.
Product Ownership Technical Coordination with Agency and Network OPs.

Mobile porting

The goal
Create a unified UX across multiple web vehicles on mobile. User numbers continued a trend towards using mobile instead desktop screen sizes.

The result
We achieved a unified look and feel for all supported web vehicles on mobile screen sizes and started to distribute content based on the user’s screen size.
