• Built performance tracking that measured delivery timelines and stakeholder satisfaction across a large portfolio of projects.
• Established process improvements that let our project management approach work across very different teams and technical domains.
• Designed communication strategies that kept technical and non-technical teams on the same page about shared goals.
• Wrote the technical documentation the team relies on, covering infrastructure, deployment procedures, and system maintenance.

Research Collaboration & Requirements Translation

• Partnered with academic staff and researchers to translate their needs into technical specifications and implementation roadmaps.
• Managed resource allocation and planning across technical staff, infrastructure, and program timelines for multiple simultaneous initiatives that often pulled in different directions.

Featured Project

A multi-year partnership with an outside branding agency to rebrand and rebuild humboldt.edu, the flagship university site and the destination for a consolidation effort that brought 200+ subsites onto one platform.

The work spanned content strategy, information architecture, site building, and redirect planning, with careful attention to brand consistency, accessibility, and preserving years of SEO equity across a sprawling university ecosystem. Coordinated closely with the agency's project manager and internal leadership to keep momentum across many simultaneous workstreams and stakeholder groups.

Full-Cycle Project Management & Strategic Planning

• Run full-cycle projects for annual client engagements, acting as both technical lead and strategic sounding board for small and mid-size businesses working through website and technology changes.
• Develop project plans that map out resources, timelines, and people, tailored to each client's goals and technical realities.
• Build web infrastructure on WordPress and custom setups with an eye toward performance and long-term maintainability, and handle the technical pieces along the way, from hosting and development environments to deployment.
• Stay in long-term partnership with clients, handling ongoing tuning, security updates, and performance checks well after launch.

Featured Project

Partnered with the Humboldt Area Foundation on a full redesign of hafoundation.org, combining two large websites into one and rethinking the site architecture.

The project covered strategic consultation on the foundation's goals, a new site structure that made programs and grant information easier to find, and hands-on project management through design and development. The Figma prototype captures the design direction that anchored the build.
