What I'm looking for

I’m targeting the Full-Stack WordPress Developer opportunity at OutsourcedIn, with an emphasis on WordPress themes and plugins; PHP, JavaScript and MySQL; hosting, security and performance.

At MFactory, I developed and maintained government WordPress websites, focusing on security, performance, mobile responsiveness and accessibility. I also designed custom themes and adapted back-end code and CSS for branding and functionality.

At Milan Media / Zetigon, I developed WordPress functions, themes and plugins, integrating MemberPress and Paid Memberships Pro. I also improved website performance through caching, database optimisation and custom API integrations.

At Maru Africa, I built and customised responsive WooCommerce websites and supported hosting, migrations, security and production issues. My work included websites using HTML, CSS, PHP and WordPress with Elementor, Gravity Forms and UpdraftPlus.

Currently, as a Freelance Developer at Maebela Promotions, I build React applications and business systems from requirements and interface design through testing and delivery.
