What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment where I can leverage my WordPress and system engineering skills to create impactful digital solutions through collaboration and innovation.

I am a dedicated WordPress Designer/Developer with over a decade of experience in creating engaging and user-friendly web interfaces. Currently at Genesis Tech since 2015, I specialize in WordPress design, development, and system engineering, ensuring seamless user experiences.

Previously, I served as a Systems Engineer at Prioneerfoods from 2011 to 2014, where I led desktop support teams and managed network setups. My earlier role at Dimension Data from 2007 to 2010 involved system support and server administration.
