Austin Opia | Senior Laravel Engineer & Technical Lead

Overview

About the project

Partnered with DriveMentor's leadership to rebuild its public presence in under eight weeks. Delivered fresh content architecture, volunteer landing pages, and SEO-focused layouts that improved organic visibility by 35% within the first month. Wrapped the engagement with documentation and workshops so non-technical staff could own updates going forward.
