Bio

A rare find, I am a full-stack developer who enjoys implementing designs on the front-end as much as engineering templates, APIs, and queries on the back-end. I relish the challenges of customising WordPress themes and plugins and I have substantial experience with eCommerce and 3rd-party integrations.

★ Front-end frameworks & libraries: React, AngularJS, jQuery, Bootstrap ★
★ Templating: PHP, XSLT, XPATH, XQUERY, XSL-FO, Handlebars ★
★ Data modelling and API methodologies: JSON, XML, RESTful, MySQL★
★ Content Management Systems: WordPress, Unify, Squarespace, Concrete★
★ Debugging and problem-solving: Chrome/Firefox DevTools, Stack Overflow ★
★ Git, CI/CD, and code management: Github, Bitbucket, AWS, Docker ★
★ Project management: Jira, Trello, Agile, sprint, Kanban, waterfall ★

WordPress Origin Story

Back in 2006. I saw a WordUp London event advertised, went along, loved the energy and community vibe, and was hooked. I started building hobby sites. As a Lead CMS Developer at my work – studied the schema of WordPress templates and applied a similar structure to the company CMS. By then, I was also building sites for clients, before eventually joining Pragmatic, one of the top VIP WordPress agencies in the UK and also served another few years with other VIP WordPress agencies. I’m currently working on various freelance projects and exploring new frontiers in AI and API integrations with the WordPress platform.
