About

Hi, I'm Seth Geib, a front end developer with 16 years of professional experience. I started my current job at Hart in 2010 and have since worked my way up to the position of Director of Front End Development. During my career as a front end developer, I've had the pleasure of working with clients like La-Z-Boy, Caterpillar, Goodwill, Certified Angus Beef, Fram, Pukka, ProMedica, Ohio Liquor, Ohio Lottery, and countless others. Over the years, I've launched hundreds of websites, from campaign microsites to nationwide e-commerce retailers.

Work

As Director of Front End Development, I am involved in every stage of a website and mobile app projects, from start to finish. I begin by assisting our new business team with prospecting clients and assessing client needs to propose thoughtful solutions. I then assist in estimating project costs, timelines, and tasks. Once we start in on a project I will begin by conducting a user experience audit, content inventory, and develop a site map. I also lead the wireframing and prototyping efforts, and collaborate with our brand designers with mockups. Once the design is approved, I handle the front end coding and build the project codebase alongside our back end development team. I then oversee the quality assurance team, fix bugs, and assist with project deployment. After launch, I conduct client training in order to empower them to manage their new site or app. Afterwards I will continue to provide front end maintenance for the project over it's lifespan to ensure it remains up-to-date and fully functional.

Software / Languages

My primary CMS expertise lies in WordPress (standard and headless), Umbraco, and Squarespace, and I'm extremely proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP and ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliant code. I have experience with various front end libraries such as React, Vue.js, jQuery, Tailwind, GSAP and Bootstrap. For project management and code development, I have experience with Jira, GitLab, GitHub, Gitpod, VS Code, and many other platforms. I am also an expert in many design tools, such as Figma, the Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, Stable Diffusion, and more.

Hobbies

In addition to my development work, I have a part time career and passion as a wildlife photographer and videographer, in promotion of conservation and preservation of wildlife and wild spaces. My travels have taken me from the volcanic landscapes of Iceland to the swamps of Louisiana, but I find the most beauty right in my own backyard, exploring the Toledo Metroparks. I'm also part of a two-man team of Bigfoot filmmakers. You can follow our adventures at Wildman of the Woods or on our YouTube channel.
