📝 TECH RESUMES: Web3 / Blockchain Developer Relations Tech Writing

For over a decade, I ran Array Web Development, a Portland-based web design and development agency serving clients worldwide. We specialized in custom websites, API integrations, database applications, and digital marketing strategies that helped businesses maximize their online presence. From large-scale news media platforms and financial websites to complex catalog systems, eCommerce sites, and nonprofit initiatives, I built solutions tailored to each client's needs—often leveraging PHP, MySQL, Joomla, and advanced CMS customizations.

While my expertise in traditional web development remains strong, my focus has expanded into NFTs, blockchain, and modern app development using React, Next.js, AI integrations, and Web3 technologies. You can explore these new directions on my programming and generative NFTs pages. Though Array Web Development is no longer active as an entity, the problem-solving mindset and technical depth that fueled it continue to drive my work today. Here are some highlights of my Array Web Development work:

Executed top-quality, state-of-the-art web sites, redesigns, API tie-ins, intranets, and database applications, meeting functional specs and exceeding client expectations.
Boosted ROI for businesses by planning and pursuing profitable digital marketing campaigns, search engine optimization (SEO) initiatives, and content creation / distribution strategies (writing blog content and marketing communications, creating videos, and handling social media marketing) for increased traffic and sales.
Published Web Designer / Web Developer Magazine by ideating, writing, and editing business- and tech-related articles to demonstrate expertise and increase traffic, branding, awareness. (Articles online here, in the archive section going back to ~2017.)
