I'm Laud Tetteh, a Full Stack Web Developer based in Seattle, WA, with 10+ years of experience building, optimizing, and maintaining web applications for clients and employers across the US and Africa. I thrive on learning new technologies, collaborating with smart people, and solving real-world problems through code. My background spans backend, frontend and DevOps. Let's build something great together!
Build custom solutions in PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, and YML for Tableau's marketing sites (tableau.com, on Drupal 10), owning projects from discovery through post-release monitoring across 3 US time zones. Lead engineer for a pipeline automating daily extraction of user-submitted assessment data via GitHub Actions and AWS, and rebuilt authentication-gated Product Download pages with a Drupal-UI-toggleable kill switch.
Built a CRM dashboard with authentication for community-based church programs, powered by Laravel & MySQL. Shipped reports & dynamic search, notifications, analytics, messaging, an events calendar, branch locator, store, cart, and checkout.
Webmaster and custom plugin development for King County 4Culture, a Washington State non-profit. Built and maintained a Drupal-powered class/course database, personnel directory, events calendar, and password-protected content portal for the University of Hawai'i's William S. Richardson School of Law, then led the data migration when the site rebuilt onto WordPress. Also redesigned the South Seminole and North Orange County Wastewater Transmission Authority site to WCAG 2.2 accessibility compliance.
Worked with the Inbound Engineering team migrating portions of moz.com from CakePHP to Craft CMS. Partnered with the UX team translating comps into marketing pages, and with Business Intelligence to implement page-load and event tracking via Adobe DTM and Segment.

“Laud was awesome to work with at Moz. As a marketer, I appreciated his communication style the most as well as his speediness. My job was to request new landing pages and updates to our marketing pages… I really appreciated that. I'd recommend Laud for any marketer or designer looking for a front end developer, and to any dev team who can work well with marketers. He also has a great can-do attitude, adorable twins, and a super solid goal to help his community.”
