Solo Full-Stack Developer | Design More International (2016)

Overview

Design More International is an award-winning architectural firm competing globally in conceptual and structural design competitions. The firm required a digital portfolio that could present large, ultra-high-resolution architectural renders and project blueprints without sacrificing page load performance or international search visibility.

Contracted directly as Solo Full-Stack Developer to design, build, and deploy the platform end to end. Built on a heavily customized WordPress theme, engineered a custom media-loading and caching strategy that balanced high-fidelity visual presentation with strict PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals requirements.
