Angular, WordPress API Web Development Project Screenshot for TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor brought me on as a freelance WordPress developer to build a custom theme and functionality plugin for the redesign of their corporate blog.

The theme is built on top of Automattic's _s starter theme and includes a modern Angular front-end that serves content from an HTTP API. This decoupled approach to content delivery allows them to serve content to internationalized audiences accross multiple domain, all from a single installation of WordPress: tripadvisor.it/blog, tripadvisor.de/blog, tripadvisor.co.uk/blog, tripadvisor.es/blog, and tripadvisor.co.au/blog. Technologies I worked with as a freelancer during this project include: WordPress, Angular 4, SAML, nginx (proxy)

MIT Technology Review hired me as a freelance front-end developer to define and build a modern decoupled front-end framework to support an extensive new design by Upstatement.

The result is a powerful, stand-alone front-end built with Node.js & Hapi.js that serves content from HTTP API's served by a Drupal backend. The system supports over 2 million monthly visitors at technologyreview.com and is hosted at Heroku as a clustered Node.js application that sits behind an nginx reverse proxy. Working with MIT's internal development, I defined every aspect of the new front-end including deployment, caching, templating, versioning, testing, and more. Technologies worked with as a freelancer JavaScript developer for this project include: Drupal 7, Angular 4, Node.js, nginx (proxy), Heroku

SBLI , or the Savings Bank Life Insurance Company of Massachusetts, is a one of the nation’s leading life insurance companies. They reached out to me looking to hire a freelance WordPress developer to build a custom WordPress plugin that would provide life insurance quotes and full application processing through their website, sbli.com.

Using a custom HTTP API, additional MySQL database tables, and an Angular powered front-end we built a series of microservices and mini-apps that handle the entire process. The result for them was a 362% increase in conversions, and a drastically simplified lead generation workflow that streamlined the onboarding process for their sales teams.

Swagger.io reached out to me in search of a freelance web designer to re-design swagger.io and build them a custom WordPress theme that could serve dynamic, open-source powered content directly from GitHub.

Their open-source software product is the most popular API documentation system on the web and is used by companies like Intuit, McKesson, Microsoft, Morningstar, and PayPal. I work with their team in Cambridge, MA to design a new site that supported their existing established brand. I also built out the custom WordPress theme, starting with the _s theme connection in place their large community of developers has the ability to directly modify the API documentation and content that appears on their website.
