ABOUT ME

I've been freelancing for several years and have an interest in all things Web Development & Design, as well as Graphic & Print Design and Digital Illustration. I am what is commonly known as a Full-Stack or 'Unicorn' Developer because I handle all aspects of a given project from start to finish, starting at the design phase, moving to the coding/custom functionality phase and ending at the launch phase. More often than not I end up designing business cards, brochures, logos and the like for my clients as well, experience in the Printing Industry being part of my skills arsenal.

I specialize mainly in Web Development for the WordPress platform. This includes Custom Theme Design & Development, Plug-In Development and implementation/creation of custom functionality on websites as specified by my clients. I have designed and built all manner of websites, from basic informational websites for small businesses to highly customized and specialized online recruitment platforms, which in essence are closer to actual web applications than to standard websites due to the sheer complexity of the coding involved in creating these types of sites.

I specifically focus on designing and developing websites which are easy to use, user friendly and clean. Mobile optimization is at the core of my design and development processes since more than 50% of website visitors use mobile phones and tablets to visit websites. Not having a responsive website means potentially losing 50% of your possible turnover, so website responsiveness is part and parcel of my web development journey on every project.

Languages I specialize in: PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript & jQuery.
Platforms I specialize in: WordPress, WooCommerce & MySQL
Responsive frameworks I use: Twitter's Bootstrap
Software I work in: Photoshop, Illustrator, WAMP

I built up my Web Development experience through many years of trial and error, doing several self-study courses from the likes of Lynda.com and Udemy in between projects to further advance my skillset. I believe a Web Developer & Designer can never know enough about the industry or have too many skills under his or her belt. As such I continuously strive to improve my knowledge and abilities and this tendency has served me well over the last 8 years or so of being a Full-Stack Developer.
