What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can lead projects and continue to grow my technical skills.

With over 10 years of experience as a senior web developer, I specialize in WordPress and PHP development, focusing on building custom themes and plugins. My expertise extends to back-end development and performance optimization, ensuring that the websites I work on not only look great but also perform exceptionally well. I have a structured and solution-oriented approach, which has been instrumental in my roles as a Tech Lead and Product Owner.

Currently, I serve as a Full Stack Developer and Team Lead at North Star, where I manage a team of developers and oversee the development and maintenance of over 100 high-traffic WordPress sites. My passion for new technologies has driven me to expand my skill set to include ReactJS, NodeJS, and Python, allowing me to meet the evolving demands of the market effectively. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including SEO and marketing, to deliver high-quality projects.
