Bio

My name is Keith Lock. I live in Windsor, Ontario in Canada. I am currently seeking remote-only employment or projects in web development or related QA or technical work.

Hourly, Projects, Part-Time, and Full-Time availability.

• 25 years web/support experience
• 20 years freelancing
• 15 years WordPress experience
• 15 years working remotely

Previously at: Automattic / WordPress.com, Advanced Custom Fields
Native English

I am in Eastern Standard Time UTC−05:00 but can accommodate just about any time zone. I am available for weekend and holiday work. Ideally I would like to find a flexible-hours placement for 20 hours per week. However, I am open to working full-time.

I am looking for remote-only WordPress or front-end development work. I am also interested in QA, support, and technical documentation roles. Anything in the crypto space would be nice as well.

I would love it if I could spend my days creating interfaces in WordPress using Advanced Custom Fields, then writing the code so that the data shows up on the front-end. I am passionate about making sure that web pages are responsive, accessible, SEO friendly if needed, and optimized. I like to then button it all up with some docs ( in the dashboard and / or the front-end ).
