Preston is a PHP developer who loves to play with the intersection of legacy applications and the modern web. As content management systems and curation teams are moving towards targeted mediums like web, mobile, embedded systems and more we are now at a point of creating headless models surrounding this content. Building content in an abstract and platform agnostic manner allows us to tailor these items to the metadata available on every platform, without building custom handlers for each. This requires forethought, planning, build pipelines and a centralized editing experience to drive the various endpoints.

Living in this zone requires full stack knowledge of both the backend and the frontend, alongside extensive testing and design considerations. Preston is meticulous in these areas, and excels at keeping all aspects of these projects running concurrently to the exact specifications provided. Today this can involve classic CMS technologies such as WordPress and Drupal, or custom clients built in React, Vue or Angular JavaScript. Preston’s latest endeavors have taken him to using Svelt with custom API middleware to provide seemless sharing of content in an extremely performance sensitive context.
