Shea Deans

Mid-level Web Developer and invaluable asset known for leading complex digital transformation projects serving government contracts. Served as a trusted technical resource and Subject Matter Expert (SME) during the "Clean Slate" Digital First Editor launch and ongoing updates.

My work on the Knowledge Repository (KR) drove Service Desk tickets from multiple to virtually nonexistent , affirming a commitment to system stability and usability.

I leverage 15-years of experience in content strategy and team leadership, now focused on driving high-impact digital transformations for mission-critical platforms. I serve as a trusted resource for new and legacy teams, providing expert training and technical guidance to ensure seamless adoption of new digital features. I verify, train and mentor new team members to ensure efficient publication and smooth transition to new content management platforms.

I manage full-stack Drupal application operations, including migration from Drupal 7

to 10, continuous upgrades, and module maintenance using Drush, Composer, Linux,

and SQL. I oversee front-end design, theming,

and content management while collaborating with IT teams and stakeholders to implement enhancements that improve performance,

analytics, and user experience. I ensure Section

508 compliance through regular accessibility audits aligned with CDC and HHS standards,

and I provide staff training on accessibility,

clearance, and digital publishing best practices.

As a key contributor to the CDC’s Clean Slate initiative and Digital First Editor (DFE)

migration, I have earned recognition from leadership and peers for advancing web modernization across multiple divisions. I am trusted to lead high-impact projects independently, consistently maintaining quality, reliability, and client satisfaction. In addition to my core responsibilities, I remain active in the Drupal open-source community,

sharing expertise and staying current with emerging development practices.
