About Marc
Marc Blumenfeld
Website application development, digital media architecture, and interactive technology consulting — from enterprise web portals to e-commerce and multi-user collaboration.
Historically
Most recently, I led the web team at Courier Newsrooms as Webmaster, deploying a WordPress multisite network across 11 branded newsrooms and driving the company’s largest subscriber growth year through a SailThru marketing automation migration.
I’ve also served as a Drupal developer for Westat on federal social science research platforms, and as technical lead for United Way of Greater Rochester’s Vaccination Volunteer Force portal, connecting medical volunteers to vaccination sites across nine NY counties.
I am the former Web Development and Interactive Technology Manager at the George Eastman Museum. During my tenure there I designed and built the site and integrated the museum’s collection databases, making each of the 650,000 collection items available online.
At the Rochester Institute of Technology, I formed a sponsored research partnership and developed advanced versions of my Self-Contained Internet Remote Camera system known as ‘SCIRC’ technology.
I was the New Media Director for Gannett’s Democrat and Chronicle, the flagship outlet that took Gannett from statically produced pages to dynamically integrated content delivery.
Oh yeah, and I built the very first TGI Fridays website!
My big interest
I love to build and manage websites and applications for e-commerce, and multi-user collaboration. Well-versed in a range of integrations, including deployment of enterprise-scale, interactive web portals, and web services for major U.S. employers.
I am certain I can achieve product success by providing strategy and leadership while working closely with senior leaders, and managing website development staff, and teams.
Staying Agile
Currently, I’m the Enterprise Operations Director of Tour World Crafts, a digital gallery of one-of-a-kind folk art and ethnographic objects collected over four decades by master artisans across 30+ countries — I recently finished building out the site and provenance archive at tourworldcrafts.com.
I have designed, deployed, and managed high-volume websites and web applications for content publishing, international business information systems, electronic commerce, and multi-user collaboration.
Since 2019, I’ve worked AI into most of my larger projects at some level — workflow automations, chatbots, and AI-assisted content creation.
I am effective in challenges involving a range of Internet integrations. My experience includes successfully deploying enterprise-scale, interactive web applications, products, and web services for major U.S. employers.
