    ComCreate

    Lead Forward-Deployed Engineer

    Remote

    I lead client-facing engineering at a full-service digital agency: scoping work with clients, building their sites and platforms, and keeping what ships running. Since March 2025 I've committed to more than 120 of the agency's client and internal repositories (2,500+ commits).

    Highlights

    • Manage and mentor two developers as head developer since April 2026

    • Led client and internal product work through UX, application architecture, database changes, deployment, and post-launch verification

    • Launched and rebuilt client sites for home-services, wellness, design-build, logistics, and real-estate clients, including Hero Pro Services (WordPress to Next.js and Sanity), LouWellSpa (Wix to Next.js), and Elevations Design Build, and restructured existing sites for Teknik and King Roof

    • Ran web operations for a multi-site healthcare network: location pages roughly 10x faster under load, about 1,100 search-audit issues resolved, and 22 stalled leads recovered into the CRM

    • Built and maintained the ComCreate operations dashboard, with nearly 3,000 automated tests, a Tauri desktop client, and an MCP server, plus Magnolia's multi-tenant clinic platform

    • Built internal tooling used across the client fleet: a 218-operation marketing API toolkit with a CLI and MCP server, and an agent-driven SEO fix loop

    • Rolled out a shared CI deploy gate to client repositories, then audited CI across 49 active repos and 742 runs and traced the failures to onboarding wiring rather than the gate

    • Built release practices around typed CI, migration checks, rollback plans, and production verification

    Agency delivery platform

    ComCreate Operations Dashboard

    Led a six-phase overhaul of a Next.js and Supabase platform for client sites, audits, reporting, requests, and ongoing maintenance.

    • Shipped a Tauri desktop client and a read-only MCP server so staff and AI agents can query fleet health, reports, and analytics history
