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.

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 received my Bachelor of Science from James Madison University, where I studied Interactive Design with a Computer Science minor. After graduating college, I began work as a full-time Front End Developer and moved to Richmond, VA. 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.
