Get to know me!

I'm Richard J. Baird, a Full-Stack Developer based in Atlanta, GA. I build web apps and websites that are fast, accessible, and easy to maintain. I've worked across industries like healthcare, automotive, and eCommerce, using both custom code and CMS platforms. My toolkit includes JavaScript (React, jQuery, Node.js), CSS (Sass, Tailwind), Python, SQL, and other technologies. I'm also experienced with AI prompting and prompt engineering, which I use to help streamline workflows and solve problems in creative ways. I'm always learning and looking for ways to sharpen my skills — whether that's through new frameworks, tools, or techniques. Outside of work, I like traveling with my fiancée, gaming, and staying active. Relaxing is also part of the process!

Don't hesitate to reach out - we can probably develop something together!

Projects Some of the work I'm most proud of.

Rivian

As a Front-End Developer, I was responsible for building this site entirely within Squarespace, combining native builder tools with custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript components. This project required creatively navigating Squarespace's limitations to achieve a polished, responsive design while ensuring custom elements worked seamlessly across the platform.

4iQ

As a Full-Stack Developer, I handled both the front-end build and the back-end data connections for this project. I developed the user-facing pages with HTML, Sass, and JavaScript, while also integrating SQL databases using Python. A key challenge was optimizing the apps's performance to handle high-traffic database calls efficiently, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Dovato

In this role as a Front-End Developer, I built pages from the ground up using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). I wrote all custom Sass and JavaScript to match precise design requirements, overcoming the limitations of AEM's minimalist framework to deliver fully tailored, client-approved pages.

Spice World

For this WordPress project, I worked as a Front-End Developer using Elementor to construct and refine page layouts. Given the scale of the site, careful attention was required to ensure consistency and quality control across a large number of edits and newly developed sections.

U.S. Civil Rights Trail

For this WordPress-powered project, I worked as a Front-End Developer to create reusable PHP components, develop new pages, and improve overall site performance. Working within a legacy codebase presented unique challenges, requiring careful navigation and modern enhancements without disrupting existing functionality.
