Summary
Edwin Smith is a pragmatic web developer and translation consultant in training with nine years of hands-on experience building and maintaining web systems, leading small teams, and running a design & development firm out of Mesa, Arizona. He combines full-stack web skills (PHP, JavaScript, Drupal, WordPress) with systems administration experience across Windows and Linux, enabling him to own projects from infrastructure to UI. Former roles as a teacher and facilities manager give him a practical, service-oriented approach to problem solving and client communication. At Showit and Pyxl he focused on delivering dependable web products; at Wycliffe he’s applying those technical and cross-cultural skills to translation work. He’s equally comfortable shipping code, troubleshooting servers, or sketching designs in Photoshop and Illustrator, and often bridges gaps between technical teams and nontechnical stakeholders. A background in theology and philosophy adds unusual depth to his client- and mission-driven work.
