Ricky Angeles

Systems Manager

Ricky’s role as a Front-End Developer (WordPress developer) is to bring the client and designer’s idea to life. His passion for learning how things are built at a young age has put him in his current position of bringing our web designs to life and ensuring they work as efficiently as possible. When not at work he enjoys working in his wood shop or playing video games with friends.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?

Dominican Republic. It’s home. I’ll try and set aside the fact that my parents would ship my sister and I to my grandmothers for a whole month during the summer. Going back yearly has become a tradition that I try not to break. It gives me a chance to see family and friends that don’t live in the states, and enjoy some of grandmas food with a nice cold Presidente.

What led you to pursue a career in digital marketing?

It wasn’t in the plans to join a digital marketing firm but glad I did. Before working here I was just churning out sites as quickly as I could. Working here was a complete 180. Yea I still build sites but its more than just the site, it’s about seeing my work bring in great results and having a positive effect on our clients.
