Dexian
Dexian is a company that provides innovative workforce solutions, offering a blend of talent acquisition, consulting, and technology services to businesses across various industries. The company specializes in helping organizations optimize their workforce strategies by delivering end-to-end talent management solutions, including staffing, IT services, and workforce automation.
I have delivered comprehensive web development services for Dexian, encompassing a broad scope of work.
I have implemented two job boards connected to third-party job distribution platforms, that reach thousands of potential jobseekers and applicants each month.
I have also constructed custom landing pages, such as Black Sky Thinking, Work Futures: Trends Impacting 2024, the Resource Center, and the Locations page.
Additionally, I managed the implementation of cookie consent management across all company sites, executed SEO enhancements for the six Dexian brand websites, enabled multilingual support, and led both project management and development processes.
In the summer of 2024, the Dexian India website was successfully launched with a completely revised navigation system and improved UI/UX design. As the lead developer on the project, I managed the entire process from start to finish, ensuring that the provided designs were expertly implemented and transformed into a fully functional website. My role involved overseeing the project’s progress, coordinating with stakeholders, and translating design concepts into a seamless user experience, while optimizing the site for performance and usability. This resulted in a modern, user-friendly platform that meets both business objectives and user needs.
National Center for Disaster Preparedness
The National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) is a research and policy center based at Columbia University’s Earth Institute. It focuses on enhancing the nation’s ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, including natural hazards, pandemics, and terrorist attacks. The center engages in a broad range of activities, including research, training, and policy advocacy.
Through its multidisciplinary approach, the NCDP seeks to build a more resilient society, ensuring that communities are better prepared for future disasters and can recover more effectively.
As the lead developer, I directed the strategic planning and execution of a large-scale website overhaul, managing user journeys, UI/UX enhancements, wireframe review, and provided input and direction during the design process. One of the primary challenges was the sheer volume of content, consisting of hundreds of pages and posts, each requiring significant data cleanup and a refined content structure. To address this, I implemented an organized project management and review system that provided the client with clear visibility into our progress and the necessary steps to reach project completion. I’ve also instilled accessibility best practices during the development of the site to allow for the NCDP to meet WCAG and ADA compliance.
Georgia Landscape Supply
Georgia Landscape Supply is a landscaping materials provider located in Marietta, Georgia. The company supplies a wide range of high-quality landscaping products, including topsoil, mulch, stone, gravel, and sand, catering to both homeowners and professional landscapers.
Before the website refresh, Georgia Landscape Supply consistently ranked well in search results, however they sought to modernize the website by enhancing its UI/UX and provide more value for customers through the development of an online store that allows for end-to-end order fulfillment and e-commerce functionality.
Due to the company’s unique logistics model and industry-specific requirements, the integration of ecommerce and scheduling capabilities for both local pickup and delivery orders required custom development to extend WooCommerce and various related scheduler, shipping calculator and delivery plugins.
The addition of ecommerce functionality necessitated strengthened security measures to protect the website from potential malicious attacks.
J.M. Wilkerson
J.M. Wilkerson Construction is a general contracting firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in a wide range of construction services, including commercial, industrial, civil, and sustainable building projects. The firm emphasizes sustainable building practices, with a strong focus on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifications, and has completed several LEED-certified projects across various sectors.
J.M. Wilkerson Construction has completed a variety of notable projects that showcase significant civic and infrastructure improvements in the Atlanta area. Some of these include:
- Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail
- The Ponce City Market Redevelopment
- Historic Fourth Ward Park
- Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sitework
- SunTrust Park (Truist Park) Infrastructure
The web development project involved revitalizing the existing site with a modernized look and feel while preserving its underlying architecture. The backend structure was maintained but enhanced with updated visuals which included the use of colors, video, and imagery to enhance the visual impact of the site. Significant improvements to the UI/UX were made to improve the user experience and highlight the most prominent and recent projects that were spearheaded by the company.
Skinbetter
skinbetter science is a biotech skincare brand that is now apart of the L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty family.
Skinbetter Science is a premium skincare company founded in 2016, known for its innovative, science-based approach to skincare. The brand leverages advanced technologies to create products that deliver real, noticeable results in improving skin health and appearance. Their formulations focus on anti-aging, hydration, and skin protection, using ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, and retinoids. Skinbetter Science is also highly regarded for its medical-grade skincare products, which are often recommended by dermatologists and are sold exclusively through authorized providers, ensuring a professional and personalized approach to skincare.
Skinbetter aimed to boost engagement by improving the measurement protocols on their eCommerce platform. My role involved implementing enhanced eCommerce tracking in Google Analytics using Google Tag Manager. The enhanced eCommerce tracking measurements were later upgraded for compatibility with Google Analytics 4 (GA4), in anticipation of the sunsetting of the UA dashboard.
Additionally, I implemented a GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) compliant cookie consent management system via OneTrust. The consent configuration effectively blocked cookies and scripts based on user preferences and geographic location, which was increasingly important as Skinbetter served customers across the globe and consent laws in some countries and states had begun to shift to require websites to obtain explicit permission from users before collecting their personal data through cookies, which track user behavior online.
