Work Experience

Web Developer and Designer, Lamplight Digital Media

April 2024 – Present

I manage and maintain a custom WordPress template using HTML, CSS/SASS, Advanced Custom Fields, Javascript/jQuery, and PHP. I work with my manager to consistently improve upon this template with the intent to use on our client sites. I also complete website redesigns in-code and in Figma, and present those redesigns to the respective clients. Lastly, I help manage 90+ WordPress websites that Lamplight has either inherited or produced itself.

As a front-end developer at Atmosphere Digital, I help create immersive and visually captivating digital experiences for our wide roster of clients. I collaborate closely with designers and other developers to contribute to a cohesive and efficient workflow to transform design concepts into tangible, user-friendly, and responsive interfaces. It’s through my attention to detail, creativity, and commitment that I’m able to deliver exceptional user experiences that contribute to the agency’s success.

A bit about me

Hey! My name is Stephen Darling, and I’m a Web Developer and Designer from Arlington, Virginia! I’m passionate about bringing art to life with technology, and it’s this passion that has guided me to pursue Web Development and Design.

I lived there for two years before moving back to Northern, VA, where I now enjoy life close to Washington D.C. Whether it’s web development, photography, or even cooking, I strive for a career and life where I get to create everyday.
