Open to senior frontend roles
Promotions
that ship
on launch day.
I'm a senior frontend developer who builds the campaign microsites behind national sweepstakes, instant win games, UGC contests, and loyalty programs. Eight years, 200+ live promotions, for brands including Disney Vacation Club, Hershey, Ferrero, Hard Rock, GAF, and Ace Hardware.
The work has a hard constraint most frontend doesn't: a promotion opens at a fixed date and time, in front of a media buy, under legal review. It cannot slip and it cannot break. That's the discipline I bring to a product team.
Instant Win — live demo

Same reveal mechanic I've
built for national campaigns.
What I build
Four promotion types,
one engineering standard
Every campaign is a different brand, a different legal framework, and a different entry mechanic — but the frontend problems rhyme. Validation, state, localization, accessibility, and traffic spikes at the exact minute of launch.
Selected work
Campaign spec sheets
A sample from 200+ shipped promotions. Client-owned code and creative stay under NDA, so these describe the engineering problem, the approach, and the outcome rather than reproducing the deliverable.
Experience
Eight years in
promotional engineering
Two companies, one specialty. The sequence matters here — the PrizeLogic org changed hands and names twice while I stayed on the same codebase and client roster.
Toolkit
Stack
Deep in the Vue ecosystem, comfortable in legacy .NET, and fluent in the unglamorous parts — form validation, localization pipelines, and accessibility.

I'm open to senior and staff frontend roles — remote, or Phoenix-based. Email is the fastest way to reach me, and I answer everything.
