What I'm looking for
Hey! My name is Javier Encalada, I founded EstudioPatagon.com in 2012, building 25+ premium WordPress and Ghost themes from scratch and selling more than 13,000 licenses worldwide through themeforest.net and the official WordPress.org repository
I specialize in custom WordPress theme and plugin development, WooCommerce customization, ACF, custom post types and converting Figma/Adobe XD/PSD designs into fast, pixel perfect, responsive sites with clean code, semantic HTML, accessibility and Core Web Vitals at the core.
As an Official Ghost Expert and WordPress developer, I build custom themes, CMS solutions, PHP applications, REST API integrations and normalized MySQL database structures for clients worldwide.
Beyond development, I have personally resolved 7,000+ technical support tickets in English, so while I'm still sharpening my spoken English, my written technical communication is strong and I'm very comfortable working async via Slack, email or tickets.
