Hello, I'm
I design and build the interfaces behind complex web products, from hybrid cloud platforms to real-time data visualizations. I'm an Expert Level Cloud Developer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, working on OpsRamp within HPE GreenLake, and I bring a lifelong background in art and design to more than 25 years of building for the web.
I went from one web guy wearing all the hats to working on the big stuff. Here's how that happened.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
Same work on OpsRamp, bigger home. It's now a core piece of the HPE GreenLake hybrid cloud line, and I'm building features with React, TypeScript and micro-frontends.
Amazon Web Services
The foundational AWS certification. Cloud services, architecture and security.
OpsRamp
I built new screens with React, TypeScript and Node, working with remote teams and API teams to replace the legacy parts of the product. That meant getting React micro-frontends to live alongside an old Java/JSP stack, and helping our junior developers through the change.
M Science
I created M Data Viz, a single page app that let our research and analysis teams share their alternative data and insights with customers in real time. I also built all sorts of internal and external tools for managing the company's data and who could see it.
Aerohive Networks
I played a senior role on the UI team behind Aerohive's cloud-based wireless network management platform, and I was the only UI/UX person on the Big Data team. I worked with product and design to figure out how every new feature should look and behave.
Edvisors Network
I joined as a senior front end developer and the role grew from there. I redesigned a network of 30+ sites into responsive layouts built for conversions and SEO, and helped move the code from flat PHP files to Kohana and ExpressionEngine, then .NET and Sitecore.
Sites by Joe, LLC
My own tiny design studio. Clean, simple and elegant was the motto. I built a couple hundred websites by hand, plus real estate products like MLS/IDX/RETS searching, rental management software and a real estate CMS.
JSE Design Studio
Data-driven websites using ASP and SQL. No more imagining a room full of monkeys updating pages by hand.
Parrothead Realty
I was a real estate agent who made the company website in Frontpage. It used frames, and the background was a photo of the parrot wallpaper in the owner's office. I've improved since.

A few of the bigger products I've helped build.
OpsRamp, now part of HPE
An old Java/JSP product that needed a new front end. We replaced it a piece at a time with React micro-frontends, working side by side with the API teams. OpsRamp is now a core piece of the HPE GreenLake hybrid cloud line.
M Science
A single page app that put alternative data and research in front of customers in real time, with highly granular control over who sees what.
Aerohive Networks
A cloud platform for managing wireless networks. I did senior UI work on the main product and was the only UI/UX person on the Big Data team.
Edvisors Network
More than 30 sites rebuilt into modern responsive layouts. The goal was simple: better conversions and better SEO.
Nice things people have said about working with me. I very humbly thank them.
Joe was my supervisor during an internship at M Science LLC, but he was much more than that. In addition to being our Lead UI/UX architect, Joe is also an exceptional mentor and teacher who has always been willing to make time to help any member of our company... Seemingly, people from all departments wanted to bounce ideas off Joe, about everything from front end and full stack development, data management, user experience, and other product-related topics... I know working with a colleague like Joe is rare, and his willingness to help out other people in the company -- even more so.
Joe has always been a pleasure to work with... He has always been someone you can count on to stay on top of industry trends and new technologies, easy to work with, and adept at communicating with technical and non-technical minds alike... A well-rounded technologist if ever there was one.
Joe is your archetypal self-learned technologist: excited to pick up new skills, strongly self-motivated and pragmatic, with no shortage of talent.
I've worked with Joe on a number of projects, and he's always done a great job listening to what I want and delivering a great-looking, functional product. I would recommend him to anyone, and have!
Joseph Taylor is an absolute pleasure to work with. He brought the website I imagined to life. It's his eye for the little details that really made our experience so good.
There is NO ONE better, more able, with more talent than Joe. His work speaks VOLUMES for himself. Words are cheap, actions speak volumes. Joe is Honest, Hardworking, incredibly and uniquely talented, and has an amazing creative mind.
I constantly get compliments on the website that Joe created for my Fine Art Conservation business. I consider what he does to be a true Art.
I could not be happier with our site and the work done by Joe. Joe really took the time to listen and understand our goals and aspirations for the web site.
After having a horrible experience with a past website designer coming to Sites by Joe was like a dream come true... I could not have asked for a better website designer and would truly recommend him to anyone.
This website looks so f**king great... You have a knack for thinking what designs and choices best fit what the viewer wants... just know that you have mad skills.
The web site turned out to be a great tool for us to get our info out to new accounts as well as existing accounts. Thanks again for the great job.
As broker/owner of Jewell Real Estate Agency, my husband and I have used Joe many times over the last few years to not only design and redesign our real estate website, but also several other websites for other businesses that we have... We can depend on Joe to answer questions and help with problems that arise.
Joe created a simple yet elegant website for my business. I found him to be easy to work with, his expertise was evident throughout the entire process and the final product exceeded our expectations.
Joe treated our work with great diligence. He brought good professional capabilities, creative thinking, and created very timely work product.
Sites By Joe and Joe Taylor has moved ahead of the competition in our South Jersey area. He provides excellent work at a reasonable cost.
The tools I work with. Only as you learn more do you realize how much more needs to be learned, so this list is never done.
Before the big platforms I ran a tiny design studio and built every site by hand. Here are a few from back then.
2011
A new website for a college scholarship search service.
2011
New website for a Raynham, MA Mobile Bakery
2011
Sotheby's International Realty, Inc. office in Ocean City, New Jersey.
Need a designer/developer on something big? I'd love to hear about it.
