Sean’s Early Career Journey
Sean began his career in 2015 as an IT Specialist Intern at a marketing technology company and quickly advanced the following year to Project Specialist, building content in Sitecore and conducting in-depth content analysis.
In 2017, he transitioned to the technical side of the business. As a Technical Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist, he sharpened his QA expertise by driving automation projects and pioneering numerous new processes within the department. Sean’s enthusiasm for software development and IT converged in 2018, when the company launched its DevOps department and entrusted him with the role of Junior DevOps Engineer. In this position, Sean played a key role in architecting many of the core standards and operational processes that continue to underpin Perficient’s DevOps practice today.
Establishing a CXP Managed Services Department
Sean’s passion for DevOps reached a defining moment in 2019 when he was promoted to DevOps Engineer. By anticipating client needs and fostering collaboration within his team, Sean led the creation and expansion of the Managed Services department, which later evolved into Perficient’s CXP Managed Services department. This milestone marked a significant turning point in Sean’s career and stands as one of his proudest achievements.
“While supporting our clients, we noticed recurring challenges with some hosting providers. These experiences highlighted an opportunity for us to create our own Managed Services department. I helped lead that initiative and created the different tools and processes we use today. We started off with two or three clients and now have over 10 different clients expanding to various platforms. It was a cool initiative that I was able to have a major hand in leading.”
Driven by a genuine commitment to people-first leadership, Sean’s forward-thinking approach has been pivotal in delivering greater value—empowering both colleagues and clients to accelerate growth and achieve meaningful results.
“Our team is highly proactive. We focus on making recommendations and helping clients make their applications much better and faster before difficulties arise. We’ve spent a lot of time analyzing different client systems, and I’ve implemented specific processes and tooling that accelerate our work and identify issues the client might not even be aware of.”
Building Expertise, Strengthening Client Engagement, and Leading with Purpose
Sean joined Perficient as a Technical Consultant through an acquisition in 2020 and quickly advanced to his current role as Senior Technical Consultant by 2022. In this capacity, he works closely with the Managed Services team to deliver proactive client support, leveraging his expertise to inform tooling and offerings that optimize application and infrastructure development.
As a Senior Technical Consultant, Sean stays ahead in the fast-changing digital world by actively working with different platforms and technologies, continuously learning emerging best practices, and reading up on the latest innovations. Motivated by a results-driven mindset and devotion to client success, he has built lasting relationships through consistent delivery excellence and continues to shatter boundaries with cutting-edge solutions.
“Identifying performance gaps, presenting those insights to the client, implementing solutions, and then demonstrating the impressive speed improvements we’ve achieved—that’s incredibly rewarding. Seeing the client’s excitement energizes my team and me, and it motivates me to keep enhancing their offerings. This ongoing effort helps strengthen client relationships.”
Sean’s people-first leadership shines through his collaborative work with colleagues and clients. Anchored by more than a decade of IT industry experience, he has become a trusted advisor and influential mentor.

Sean has developed outstanding leadership skills that inspire collaboration, enhance team dynamics, and deliver impactful results. He embodies true team spirit by empowering individuals to grow and excel, driving collective success with passion and purpose.
“At Perficient, my role has given me a lot of opportunities to lead and mentor other engineers. I’ve really taken on that role and enjoy uplifting team members. Sharing knowledge, helping to support them, and seeing them grow has been really exciting. Focusing on helping my team rather than just myself benefits the entire team and department.”
In mentoring his colleagues, Sean champions open communication as the foundation for building trust, setting clear expectations, and fostering meaningful learning experiences.
“I think that listening and having clear communication has been valuable in my leadership growth. When assigning a task to someone you’re mentoring, it’s important to follow up, but not be too strict. Providing clear steps, setting actionable goals within a certain timeframe, maintaining consistent communication, and helping them when they get stuck makes a difference. I’ve noticed many team members respond well to this approach.”
Sean’s empathetic leadership naturally promotes transparency across teams and time zones, driving seamless global collaboration. He works regularly with Perficient’s Nagpur office to monitor different applications and infrastructures, gaining cutting-edge insights from diverse multicultural perspectives.
“There are times when I’m working with a team of colleagues who all come from different cultural backgrounds. This influences how they communicate or approach certain tasks. Being able to adapt to these differences and learn from them has significantly helped my growth as a leader.”

Unlocking Potential Through Shared Knowledge and Cross-Functional Collaboration
Within Perficient’s Sitecore BU, Sean’s team fosters continuous learning through a dedicated Confluence platform for role-specific skills and monthly meetings to discuss new technologies and processes. Sean takes great pride in Perficient’s broader culture of cross-functional collaboration.
“We have a lot of different BUs at Perficient, and they’re able to work together to support each other. Perficient colleagues are great about coming together as a team, supporting everyone, and enabling knowledge sharing that benefits both our team and our clients. I think it’s a big benefit with Perficient.”
Charting New Waters Through Relentless Innovation
Sean shatters boundaries and drives excellence through continuous innovation, fueling both individual and team success.
“I try to push my team and myself to constantly seek better ways to serve our clients and improve ourselves—exploring better approaches, speaking up, and testing ideas we haven’t tried before. I strive to do this as often as I can.”
While Sean champions continuous growth, he also emphasizes the value of experiential learning and resilience in the face of setbacks. 
“Do not be afraid to fail. If you take on a new role or responsibility—even if you make mistakes— you will grow and learn. I’m lucky to have a lot of responsibility, and there are times when I have to learn from my mistakes, but it makes me much stronger and a better consultant engineer.”
Just as Sean explores new technologies with curiosity and determination, he embraces the wonders of nature—reaching new heights through rock climbing and kayaking while cherishing time outdoors with his son.
“Outside of work, I try to spend as much time with my son as I can. He’s almost 2 years old and loves to play outside, so we try to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I go rock climbing occasionally, and I also love being on the water. If I get the chance, I try to take out our kayaks. More than anything, I focus on spending quality time with my son and enjoying the outdoors as much as we can together.”
Perficient continually looks for ways to champion and challenge our workforce, encourage personal and professional growth, and celebrate the unique culture created by the ambitious, brilliant, people-oriented team we have cultivated. These are their stories.
