I’m Jason. I build websites and keep them running.

Web Developer & Web Operations Manager in Greater Philadelphia

I’ve worked on the web since 2005, starting as a producer in a newsroom. These days I run web operations at an agency, and I still build plenty myself. This is where I keep that work and write about what it teaches me.

How I work

How I work on a team

Day to day, I’m the technical partner between account management and the websites themselves.

More about how I work
  1. 01
    Take over inherited sites

    Learn the stack, find the risks, set a practical path.

  2. 02
    Turn requests into technical work

    Clear tasks with scope and something reviewable at the end.

  3. 03
    Review before anything ships

    My own builds and other developers’ work get checked before a client sees them.

  4. 04
    Stay with the site after launch

    Document, train, monitor, keep improving.

From Newsroom Production to WordPress Operations

I started in online publishing, where deadlines, content systems, and daily production shaped how I think about the web. That work moved through digital publishing, real estate, consumer products, interactive development, marketing, and graphic design before it became WordPress development and web operations.

That background shapes how I work today: understand the content, make the experience clear, and build something people can keep using. I care about the website visitors see and the systems the team uses behind it.

this website is part of the portfolio

This site is a portfolio piece too.

I built it on native blocks and a small set of design tokens, so a change in one place carries across every page. Projects and Field Notes live in their own content types with structured fields.

  • 02 Structured work Projects, Field Notes, reusable queries
  • 03 Quality gates Responsive, accessible, performance-minded
