Legacy Website Upgrade + Maintenance: Arc 3
WordPress, Database, Migration, Security
Winter 2024 Project – Engage Technologies
The third legacy website upgrade project was for Engage Technologies. This project’s unique challenge was to re-implement the Fetch Data module, which I created a year and a half ago to improve efficiency within the company’s Sales and Customer Service department. Another challenge was to create a literature request form for sales representatives and distributors.
The company website is more distinguished over the other two division’s projects. Blending navigation and body elements in more gently on the homepage aiming to evoke a light and warm introduction to Engage Technologies.

Winter 2024 Project – Squid Ink Manufacturing
One of Squid Ink Manufacturing’s goals for the beginning of 2024 was to revitalize and update their network within the bakery industry. The CEO and Director of Business Development brought our marketing team in to develop and refine approaches to capturing new suppliers and stimulate current distributors.
My role consisted of creating new marketing collateral and a Pardot email campaign. The collateral was a half fold brochure which demonstrated the superiority of our printers and inks over the standard Thermal Inkjet printer.

At the annual Pack Expo International American Film & Machinery (AFM) and Engage Technologies showcase several machines. AFM’s flagship machine, the LX-150 Shrink Sleeve Applicator, is set up to demonstrate its ability to streamline a consistent application to a variety of product shapes and sizes. For the past three years I have lead each of the featured shrink sleeve design projects.

Fall 2022 Project – Engage Technologies
My first major web project with Engage Technologies demonstrated my ability to problem solve effectively and efficiently. The positive results of that project led the Sales and Order Processing departments to reach out in the hopes of a streamline process, order tracking. Both teams handled customer calls and emails that requested tracking information for their orders, which was a manual process of looking up customer orders within Syspro.
This project took about 1-2 months to 1) understand their accounting platform’s database and 2) the potential integration with the website. The achievement was announced at our 2022 Fiscal Q4 meeting and that I had implemented a streamline function that would take our internal staff’s manual efforts out of the equation and directly into the customer’s hands. The company and its customers have been using it since, with a constant trend in its utilization.

Summer 2022 Project – American Film & Machinery
Engage Technologies showcase the latest in Hi-Resolution Coding and Marking and Packaging Solutions at a variety of Expos throughout the year. With hundreds of participating exhibitors at each of these events it is important to be recognized by our distributors and clients, as well as appealing to potentially new business. I lead a redesign project for our American Film & Machinery (AFM), Eastey Manufacturing, and Squid Ink Manufacturing truss, which focused on brand recognition.
Below are some drafting samples as well as the final printed and installed display.
