About Garrett Baker
I moved from digital marketing into implementation and now focus on shipping frontend work that is fast, maintainable, searchable, and easy to support after launch.
Career Narrative
Garrett Baker
Frontend Developer & Technical SEO
I'm a self-taught frontend developer and technical SEO practitioner focused on practical small-business websites. I started in digital marketing, moved into implementation, and now work across frontend structure, Core Web Vitals, local SEO, hosting setup, and post-launch support. I've shipped 20+ projects end-to-end — from strategy and design through development and measurement.
How I Work
I started in digital marketing and gradually moved toward implementation — first learning how to audit and fix technical SEO issues, then building the frontend skills to ship the changes myself. Since 2019 I've built and maintained small-business sites, handling everything from page structure and hosting setup through post-launch updates.
I work best on teams that care about output quality: clean component structure, defensible performance numbers, and search-ready markup baked in from the start. My background in client support, hospitality, and regulated manufacturing also makes me steady with documentation, follow-through, and non-technical communication.
What I Bring to a Team
I contribute frontend architecture, performance engineering, and technical SEO implementation, with enough client-support and operations experience to keep the work clear after launch.
Performance First
I treat Core Web Vitals as a constraint, not an afterthought — optimizing LCP, CLS, and INP from the initial build.
Search-Ready Structure
Clean IA, semantic markup, and correct canonical/metadata implementation so crawlers and users navigate the same way.
Defensible Results
I only claim numbers I can trace to a specific project and explain in an interview.
How I Think About the Work
Performance
Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, and asset optimization are non-negotiable starting points on every build.
Clean Architecture
Component boundaries, clear data flow, and documented tradeoffs make handoffs and future changes predictable.
Technical Excellence
Semantic HTML, accessible markup, and maintainable CSS that holds up without a style guide nearby.
Measurable Outcomes
Every implementation decision connects to a signal — ranking, Core Web Vitals score, conversion rate, or load time.
Next step
Need context beyond the resume?
I’m happy to share how this background translates into frontend ownership, technical SEO execution, async-friendly delivery, and support-minded implementation.
