Founder & Frontend Developer
BearGorilla
Built and operated an independent web development and technical SEO practice. Scoped, designed, developed, and measured 20+ client sites end-to-end — sole implementer across the full stack from HTML/CSS/JS to deployment and post-launch SEO audits.
Key Achievements:
- Shipped 20+ production websites using Astro, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, consistently prioritizing Core Web Vitals and technical SEO readiness.
- Increased organic traffic by 300% on a client property in 12 months by leading a technical SEO audit, IA restructure, and intent-aligned content plan.
- Reduced average LCP from ~4.2s to <2.5s across three projects by migrating to static rendering, removing render-blocking resources, and implementing responsive image pipelines.
- Implemented structured service-intent page hierarchies and schema for local-service builds, improving local pack visibility for two clients.
- Owned full delivery lifecycle: discovery, wireframing, frontend implementation, performance QA, GA4/Search Console configuration, and handoff documentation.
- Managed client communication, proposals, and project scoping without account-management support while maintaining delivery timelines.
