About Alec Hermesmeyer

As a Web Developer at Compass Point Marketing, I create and maintain websites for various clients using Wordpress, HTML, CSS, PHP, Bootstrap and JavaScript. I also implement SEO strategies, optimize site performance, and troubleshoot issues. I have successfully delivered multiple projects within budget and deadline, exceeding client expectations and increasing site traffic and conversions. In addition, I work as a Web Development, Social Media Manager, and Business Development at S&W Foundation Contractors, Inc, where I redesigned the entire company\'s website from scratch using Supabase and Next.js, a framework that I self-taught to improve speed and usability. I have received a certificate in Software Engineering - Backend Development from Kenzie Academy, with an emphasis on Java. I have learned how to use Java, AWS, Dagger, Spring Boot, and other tools and frameworks to build scalable and secure web applications. I am eager to use my experience and skills in web development, social media management, and software engineering in a coding-heavy role that challenges me and allows me to grow as a developer.
