David Raines

Web & Database Developer

📍 Saint Louis, Missouri ✉️ Draines011488@gmail.com

Developer with hands-on experience across the full web stack and CRM/database layer — building and maintaining production websites, writing Salesforce Apex batch classes, architecting automation flows, and implementing analytics infrastructure. Comfortable moving between front-end code, back-end data logic, and the tools that connect them. Currently the sole web developer at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, where I also handle Salesforce/PatronManager development and serve as the first point of contact for staff technical issues.

Web & Database Developer

2025 – Present

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis · Saint Louis, MO

Web & Front-End

  • Sole developer responsible for all front-end updates and new page builds on repstl.org.
  • Rebuilt high-impact pages to improve usability, accessibility, and visual consistency.
  • Conducted ADA/WCAG compliance audits and resolved contrast, focus, and screen reader issues.
  • Led the full migration off the legacy CMS, including cutover planning with staff, redirects, SEO checks, Search Console monitoring, and the DNS move to the new host.
  • Architected and built a custom, no-page-builder WordPress theme (repstl-theme) from scratch to replace the legacy Showtime CMS, including custom post types for Shows, Subscriptions, and Events — now live on repstl.org.

CMS & Admin UX Design

  • Designed a Customizer-based CMS layer allowing non-technical theatre staff to manage page content, layouts, and media without touching code.
  • Built a custom Page Sections meta box system giving staff a flexible, block-style way to compose page content while keeping the front end consistent and on-brand.
  • Developed self-service admin tools including a drag-to-reorder production photo gallery, a crossfade slideshow, and sponsor/hero image management — reducing staff reliance on developer support for routine content updates.

IT & Technical Support

  • First point of contact for staff technical issues across the website, Salesforce, email, and Google tools; troubleshoot directly and coordinate with the managed IT provider on server issues.
  • Fixed Salesforce emails landing in spam by correcting DKIM records in DNS for the organization’s domain.
  • Reviewed an unused cloud account to find out why it existed; it has since been shut down, ending its monthly charges.

Salesforce / PatronManager

  • Built and deployed DonationRollupBatch, a scheduled Apex batch class that calculates Total Gifts, Largest Gift, Number of Gifts, Last Gift Date, Last Gift Amount, and First Gift Date nightly on Contact records.
  • Built a record-triggered Salesforce Flow delivering scheduled email and in-app follow-up notifications to development staff.
  • Developed a scoped HTML ticket purchase snippet embedded in the Showtime CMS for the Diamond Anniversary Concert Series.
  • Researched and documented PatronManager limitations around donor-status-gated discount codes.

Analytics & Tracking

  • Implemented Google Tag Manager across repstl.org, establishing scalable infrastructure for all tracking needs.
  • Researched and scoped Google Ads conversion tracking across the PatronManager/Salesforce ticket purchase funnel.

Content / Web Specialist

2022 – Present

Kaplan, LLC · Saint Louis, MO (Remote)

  • Designed and deployed JavaScript automations in Google Apps Script to streamline calendar operations.
  • Led creation and improvement of licensing content across multiple states.
  • Managed state-specific licensing websites for accuracy and regulatory compliance.
  • Implemented Google Analytics to improve engagement tracking across multi-state guide sites.
  • Produced custom visuals and digital content using Adobe Photoshop and Animate.
  • Rebuilt page layouts across all state sites to align with branding standards.
  • Wrote and debugged HTML/JavaScript in Dreamweaver and VS Code.
  • Delivered NC Real Estate Pre-License, Post License, CE, and Update courses.

Co-Founder

2026 – Present

Milyson Wolf Studios LLC · Saint Louis, MO
