What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, creativity, and collaboration in web development.

I am a Junior Web Developer and Webmaster with a strong foundation in PHP, JavaScript, SQL, and HTML/CSS. My experience includes transforming legacy PHP websites into fully functional WordPress sites, enhancing usability and responsiveness. I thrive in fast-paced environments, managing multiple projects while ensuring data integrity and system customization as a CRM Administrator.

At Excellerate Services, I have successfully migrated company websites to WordPress, utilizing Elementor for intuitive design and improving operational efficiency through automation with Zoho. My role involves executing SQL queries to generate insightful reports that support business decisions. I am passionate about creating user-friendly web experiences and leveraging technology to streamline processes.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a background in inventory management and systems administration, where I have led teams and collaborated with various departments to optimize workflows. My commitment to continuous learning and professional growth drives me to seek opportunities that challenge my skills and contribute to innovative projects.
