About

Kevin Briggs makes complex web systems feel calm, fast, and dependable.

The teams around Kevin tend to breathe easier, because they know problems will get traced to root cause, fixed cleanly, and explained in plain language. He brings the steady mindset of an IT professional who protected systems under pressure, then carried that discipline into high-traffic e-commerce and content platforms. What stands out most is how often his work serves real people, from library staff and patrons to nonprofit communities that rely on stable digital tools.

Kevin has a track record of shipping improvements that show up in the metrics stakeholders actually feel. He redesigned and tuned sites for speed and clarity, including a homepage performance win of 45% and SEO gains that reached top positions for priority terms.

In complex WordPress environments, he does more than theme work, he builds the missing product layer. At PS Audio, Kevin delivered 20+ custom plugins and extensions, including WooCommerce workflows that supported revenue operations like trade-ins and product registration, used in about 75% of purchases.

Reliability is where his work really compounds. He led an on-premise to AWS migration that cut infrastructure costs by 50%+, stabilized high-traffic campaigns by resolving MySQL bottlenecks that caused crashes, and earned recognition for service-first leadership, including Employee of the Year and two Army Commendation Medals.

Kevin is the kind of engineer teams trust with the parts of the stack that cannot fail, from checkout flows to infrastructure and incident response. A thoughtful introduction to teams building community-facing or revenue-critical web platforms can lead to immediate, practical impact.

Target roles: Mid to Senior PHP and WordPress engineer for business-critical platforms, Web platform reliability and infrastructure lead (AWS, Linux, CI/CD), Technical lead focused on standards, mentorship, and operational stability
