My Success Stories
I take pride in collaborating with a diverse range of clients and colleagues from ambitious startups to established enterprises.
"I worked alongside Stephen on the Web Marketing team at Blackbaud for over two years. Although we managed different web properties, we regularly collaborated through our shared web intake process in Asana. Stephen was always proactive about moving projects forward, keeping stakeholders informed, and making sure tasks were completed within SLAs. His experience with WordPress—specifically around custom themes and accessibility—really shined during a site migration that we worked on together. Stephen is committed to the quality of his work and would bring a collaborative, thoughtful energy to any team."
"Stephen was my direct senior at Circlepoint and mentored me in my position as a front-end developer. He also consistently provided moral support, words of encouragement, and tips to navigate clients and allow me to flourish with my work connections. Not only did he introduce me to new concepts such as React, but he also mentored me to dive deeper into jQuery and allowed me to apply those tips into projects that allowed me to be more efficient and successful in my position."
