The work that built the worker.
Founder & Lead Web Designer
Aug 2022 – PresentBuzy Bee Webdesign
Founded a productized web design studio offering a free build with recurring-maintenance contracts to small-business clients across NJ and NY. Shipped client websites end-to-end — domain, hosting, WordPress, plugins, live-chat — under the umbrella of A. McChild Business Systems. Hosted, recorded, and published the studio's tutorial channel under my own name — ten videos covering WordPress install, hosting, domain setup, and site error recovery — with two reaching 1.5K and 1.7K views.
Backend, Frontend & CRM Developer
May 2025 – PresentBreakthrough Couples (Harrison Barritt)
Built the full backend for a Hudson-Valley couples-coaching practice — a complete CRM and client database covering intake, scheduling, and engagement state. Designed a high-conversion funnel that turned referral traffic into booked clients, with custom intake forms feeding the CRM. Owned the data model end-to-end so the workflow matched the practitioner's coaching process exactly — no off-the-shelf platform fighting the work.
Independent Contractor — Full-Stack Build
2022 – PresentA. McChild Business Systems
Owned the full delivery stack for the firm's client work — marketing websites, landing pages, lead-capture forms, and full CRM systems built end-to-end across NJ and NY. Implemented custom CRM workflows: client-database design, intake-to-conversion automation, and engagement tracking tuned to each client's sales motion. Built adjacent in-house production tooling — including teleprompter systems for video content — as the work expanded beyond the website-and-CRM stack.
Warehouse Associate (Seasonal)
Nov 3, 2025 – Jan 13, 2026Amazon
Worked the full peak-season fulfillment cycle as a seasonal warehouse associate, supporting pick, pack, sort, and ship operations to meet holiday-demand throughput targets. Held to strict per-hour rate and accuracy metrics in a fast-paced, high-volume environment — reliable attendance and protocol-faithful execution across long shifts. Reinforced the same operational discipline I bring to client deliveries — show up, hit the standard, communicate clearly, and own the outcome.
Field Assistant
Feb 2023 – Sep 2023Herpetological Associates
Outdoor fieldwork in NJ Pine Barrens — drift-fence and funnel-trap arrays, coverboard monitoring, vegetation clearing, and visual encounter surveys for threatened and endangered species. Supported radio-telemetry tracking of timber rattlesnake, northern pine snake, and bog turtle, plus call-playback surveys for Pine Barrens treefrog. Worked physically demanding field-season conditions; built teamwork, endurance, and protocol-faithful execution.

✦ ✦ ✦Beyond the Work✦ ✦ ✦
What’s playing while I build.
I listen to a lot of different things and let the moment pick. Reggaetón is in heavy rotation, and so is most of the Spanish music I love — bachata, Latin pop, the whole world of it. Past that I just vibe to whatever is hitting that day. No fixed playlist, no genre I’m loyal to. Whatever moves me.
Music is the soundtrack to building things that last — the beat behind the hours nobody sees.
“Music connects people, and brings people together — and that’s why it’s the best for the soul.”
— Rumi Z. Z.

“The best way to predict the future is to build it.”
