My name is Cavin Myers. I'm a Lead Software Engineer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, with 18+ years of experience building and modernizing web applications, analytics systems, and enterprise software platforms.

Over the past 13+ years I've led cross-functional technical initiatives across frontend, backend, analytics, and cloud systems, guiding architectural decisions while mentoring engineers and improving engineering execution.

My background spans software architecture, full-stack development, CI/CD practices, and scalable system design, with deep roots in PHP and a strong focus on modern React-based product delivery today.

What I Do

I lead teams and write code. Most of my work falls into one of these four areas.

Technical Leadership

Guiding architecture decisions across frontend, backend, and cloud, and keeping product, engineering, and stakeholders aligned from planning to deploy.

App Modernization

Moving legacy PHP and eCommerce platforms toward modern, React-based stacks without stalling day-to-day delivery.

Analytics & Data

GA4 migrations, tag management, and reporting on Google Cloud that teams can trust, built with privacy requirements in mind.

Team Mentoring

Onboarding, code reviews, and shared engineering standards that help developers grow and teams ship consistently.

Let's Talk

Praise

Cavin is a talented developer and manager who is detailed and thorough without ever losing sight of a project's overall goals. As an account manager, I worked with numerous clients and Cavin stands out as one of the few technical people who can communicate complex issues in a clear, easy-to-understand manner. I especially admired his ability to adapt to corporate changes in direction, always with an unflappable ease and determination to keep projects moving.

Gail Murphy

Marketing & Communications Professional

I can unequivocally say Cavin is one of my all-time favorite employees. I managed him and his team for two years following a reorg and it was easily one of the best teams I've had the pleasure of working with. Cavin is a collaborative, solution-oriented, professional, and downright awesome human who I felt lucky to have on our side. He always comes to the table with great ideas, and gets them implemented before I even needed to ask for a status update. Cavin is autonomous and process-minded and seeks out opportunities to improve efficiency and add automation wherever possible. He's also a thoughtful and empathetic leader. I would work with Cavin again in a heartbeat, and he's a wonderful addition to any team he joins.

Stacey Kennedy, MBA, LC, IES

Business Transformation Leader, Digital Expert

Cavin has always been someone who applies such a strategic, thorough, and best-practices approach to developing successful digital solutions for complex, multi-tendril systems... You marry that with his experience in managing product team members, and you have a force to be reckoned with in terms of expertise, openness, and discipline.

Christopher Allen

Quality-minded Product Designer

In my 2+ years of working with Cavin on a myriad of analytics-based work, I can vouch that he is a top-notch front-end developer with extensive experience. Cavin is able to juggle the priorities of business leaders without compromising high-level outcomes. He is not only able to spot issues and quickly get rock-solid solutions in place, but also brings new ideas to the table to help move our team forward. He exemplifies what it means to be a teammate and I credit him with not only giving it his all for our team, but also taking the time to be a leader and teach those around him.

Kate Rychak

Sr Digital Experience Analytics Manager, Securitas Technology

I have had the pleasure of working with Cavin for over 10 years as a coworker, and for the majority of that time, also as my manager. You will be able to instantly tell that Cavin has a passion for the web in every regard: Back end, front end, design, business logic; you name it, he's got the goods. Cavin has always had my back, is always championing me whenever possible, and has done more for my career than just about anyone else.

Nicholas Wright

Senior Software Engineer

Cavin is a talented front end designer and core site developer. He has outstanding communication abilities and can verbalise his vision to a broad spectrum of people. I work with him as a third-party vendor, and I'm constantly impressed by how quickly he grasps the fundamentals of a tool and becomes an expert in no time. I'm really fascinated by his ability to think outside the box and be creative even when time is limited. He is charismatic, humble, approachable, and always willing to participate in brainstorming sessions. He is one of the few engineers who would always conduct their work from the point of view of the customer. I highly recommend him and he will be a great asset for any company!

Akanksha Shukla

Technical Business Analyst | Project Manager

Cavin was tasked with completely overhauling our massive website and making it uniquely editable to fit our needs. We knowingly were taking on a project that was unique in a lot of ways, and so, we were prepared for possible issues and setbacks, however, Cavin was incredibly proficient in finding the answers needed. Throughout the entire process he was thorough and communicative with every challenge that presented, and we ended up with a product that is efficient and perfectly fit for our needs. We couldn't be more pleased with his skills and professionalism. I would not hesitate to personally recommend him and hope to work with him again in the future.

Summer Swift

Marketing Manager at Orthopedic Associates

I've worked alongside Cavin for nearly my entire career at this point, 10+ years of building great things together. Cavin has a fantastic eye for detail, both in development and design; his thorough reviews illuminate vital aspects we need to consider before sharing with our customers. As a developer he does whatever it takes to deliver an exceptional experience to the customer, and I have seen him work on everything from a typical checkout form to utilizing bleeding edge frontend patterns to help tell stories for our products while boosting engagement and interactivity. He has exceptional command of several languages, and embodies the spirit of full stack development to its fullest. As a teammate he isn't shy to pick up difficult asks that might not have the same level of joy as another project, but will deliver a vital component to the business. Our organization is lucky to have him and I'm lucky to work alongside him as long as I have.

Reid Mirre, CPM

Manager - Web Design & Content at C2G, Legrand North America

Cavin is an extremely talented web developer with solid design skills, and a real determination to finish each project with diligence and best-practice techniques. He approaches each assignment with optimism and well-considered planning. On the rare occasion a site requires techniques he hasn't yet acquired, he will learn, seek advice and adapt his skills to master the challenge. While working alongside him at BGH studios I was continually impressed with his work ethic and enthusiasm. He is comfortable taking a leadership role, delegating key assignments, and maintaining a broad view of goals and milestones. Cavin is a reliable, creative thinker who will continually add benefit to any team by his desire to expand beyond his already impressive skill set.

Greer Hall

Executive Creative Director | Brand

Cavin, is a developer of the highest caliber. His design expertise as well as both front-end and back-end development experience makes Cavin not only an expert in his subject matter, but pleasant to work with as well. His experience and expertise makes Cavin a highly recommended developer and designer.

Tyler Back

President & Chief Executive Officer at Mitosis

For a year and a half I had the honor of working directly with Cavin on dozens of projects. I enjoyed working with Cavin because he is precise in his day-to-day activities, honest about his work and has genuine talent that is hard to find. His communication, organization skills and precision are impeccable and a rarity within his field. He also has an easy-going sense of humor, which makes working on projects with him fun and exciting. I would recommend Cavin for any web related project, small in size or large; I know that he will be able to finish the project on time, within budget and will exceed any client's expectations.
