I am a strategic developer with a robust foundation in web solutions, specializing in secure WordPress sites. My expertise in web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP allows me to optimize web architecture for enhanced user experience and search engine visibility. With a strong academic background in Computing, IT, Network, and Security, complemented by a GPA of 3.87, I am well-equipped to tackle complex challenges in the digital landscape.

In my current role as a Mid Senior WordPress Developer at KLEVlb, I have spearheaded custom WordPress projects, focusing on theme and plugin development to enhance site performance and security. My previous experience as a Digital Technical Executive at Regie Alfa involved collaborating with teams to launch digital campaigns and optimize site performance, contributing to a measurable increase in revenue.
