Contributions at Nagios

* Due to a non-disclosure agreement, specifics have been withheld.

My time with Nagios strengthened my skills as a developer, designer, and marketer. I gained a deeper understanding of server vs. client development, UI/UX principles, the nuances of implementation, and much more.

Modernization of Nagios Websites

I played a key role in planning and developing the Nagios websites, collaborating closely with marketing, design, and executive teams. While adapting to shifting requirements, my team and I successfully delivered each project within critical deadlines. The result was fully responsive WordPress pages that maintained design accuracy and provided an intuitive user experience.


Development & Optimization

One of my proactive goals was to empower other teams and departments to manage data relevant to their work. For the marketing team, I standardized UI elements and developed modular templates to streamline updates and maintain brand consistency across multiple sites. For another department, I created a solution, using custom post types and fields which are managed by team members, and that information is then dynamically presented to end users. As a result, the sites are more scalable, easier to maintain, and better aligned with business goals.
