Front-End Web Developer

Creating Websites with Passion

I’m an IT by profession passionate about web development and graphics design.

My experience in both IT and graphic design has given me the opportunity to shift into web development. My experience in graphic design, managing local web servers and firewalls has provided me with a solid foundation in web development, server management, and website security.

I have experience working in development agency and an SEO focused company. My responsibilities include website maintenance, improving WordPress security, sites deployment, and fixing SEO audits.

In a fast-paced web development agency, Oftentimes, I create websites using WordPress builders and just customize themes for quick projects. I also create websites from scratch using startup themes like Elementor Hello.

I understand the web development fundamentals such as HTML and CSS, and while I’m still improving my coding knowledge, I can use JavaScript codes, PHP hooks and filters to customize and enhance my WordPress projects.
