Summary
John Wallace is a senior front-end developer and design technician with 11+ years building high-performance, accessible web and email experiences across marketing, e-commerce, and finance. He excels at turning Figma designs into responsive, WCAG-compliant templates and reusable component libraries using tools like React, Next.js, MJML, Handlebars, and Node.js, and has a track record of migrating legacy systems to modern templating for more reliable, dynamic delivery. He combines hands-on development with process improvements—automating test email workflows with Postman, using Litmus for cross-client QA, and building local render servers to accelerate iterations—while leading and mentoring small distributed teams. Comfortable bridging design and engineering, he has driven measurable results in CRO, large-scale landing pages, and marketing automation integrations. Based in South Portland, Maine, his background in botany and early freelance work gives him a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to user experience and craft.
