How I got here
With over 10 years of experience in web development, I specialize in building high-performance websites using PHP, WordPress, Shopify, and modern front-end technologies. My expertise includes custom WordPress theme and plugin development, Shopify store customization, website optimization, third-party API integration, and troubleshooting complex technical issues to deliver fast, secure, and scalable web solutions.
I have extensive experience transforming Figma and Canva designs into pixel-perfect, fully responsive websites using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and modern WordPress development practices. Whether creating custom themes, enhancing eCommerce experiences, or optimizing website performance, I focus on clean code, usability, accessibility, and SEO best practices.
Passionate about delivering exceptional digital experiences, I work closely with designers, marketers, and development teams to build user-friendly, conversion-focused websites that meet business goals while maintaining high standards of quality and performance.
