Summary
James Nix is a Senior Web Developer in Nashville with 12 years of experience blending journalism and web engineering to craft clear, user-focused digital experiences. Trained as a reporter and managing editor, he brings strong storytelling, content strategy, and attention to accuracy to front-end and back-end development work. A Nashville Software School alumnus, he transitioned into interactive web roles in 2015 and now leads web development for the city's convention and visitors organization. He excels at translating complex information into accessible interfaces and often bridges editorial needs with technical solutions. Colleagues rely on his dual perspective—editorial rigor plus technical competence—to improve site performance, content workflows, and audience engagement. Unusually for a developer, his background proofreading dense texts (including early subcontract work) sharpens his eye for detail across code, copy, and UX.
