UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a versatile WordPress developer with over four years of professional experience building custom themes, plugins, and full-cycle web solutions for businesses across tourism, corporate services, and print-on-demand sectors.
I focus on clean, secure, and optimized code, with deep knowledge of WordPress core, hooks, REST API, PHP, MySQL, and frontend technologies to deliver responsive, high-performing sites.
As founder and lead developer at EkamTech, I have led projects that include booking systems, CRM dashboards, payment integrations, and SEO-optimized platforms while implementing Git-based workflows and providing client training and documentation.
I thrive in collaborative remote teams, manage hosting and security hardening tasks, and combine design sensibility (Figma, Photoshop) with technical precision to drive engagement and measurable results.
