Autotrader Migration

Dec, 2018 - Nov, 2019

Led a project to transition legacy dealership websites to a modern WordPress platform, successfully migrating 1,500 websites. The migration included mapping widgets, page templates, and implementing custom features tailored to client requirements. Designed and deployed an online portal for monitoring, querying, and updating dealership websites.
