Here is an overview of some of the programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and tools I’ve worked with.
LAMP Stack
LAMP is my go-to stack for building custom web applications.
I’ve built numerous apps using PHP & MySQL with Yii as the primary framework. These projects often included Bootstrap for quick, polished UI and jQuery for DOM manipulation and AJAX.
I deployed the majority of these projects to linux-based AWS Lightsail virtual servers running Bitnami LAMP packages.
Shopify
I’ve worked on six Shopify stores across industries like vaping, clothing, and jewelry. My work involved both building new and enhancing existing theme sections.
- Developed customizable Theme 2.0 sections for some popular themes including Dawn and Enterprise.
- Modified and extended existing theme sections and blocks to match client requirements.
- Improved Lighthouse scores for better performance, accessibility, and on-page SEO.
WordPress
I’ve delivered numerous WordPress projects, often building complete websites with Elementor Pro and writing custom shortcodes for components not available within the plugin.
My most prominent WordPress project was a document-filing platform that grew into a thriving business for the client. Key highlights include:
- A child theme for custom styling, actions, and shortcodes.
- A custom checkout experience using NMI as the payment gateway.
- A fully custom admin panel for internal business operations.
- Automated PDF generation with Docspring.
- Integration with Mailgun and Resend for transactional emails.
The majority of these projects were running on linux-based AWS Lightsail virtual servers running Bitnami WordPress packages.
Gatsby
Gatsby is a react-based static site generator. I'd not call myself a react expert but I understand concepts like components, props, state, hooks, etc. just enough to be able to work with Gatsby.
I love seeing a confetti on my Lighthouse scores and Gatsby - or static sites in general - really helps push the performance score to max.
Duda
Duda is a website builder designed for agencies. While I haven’t built a full website from scratch using Duda, I’ve worked on several existing Duda websites — making updates, adjustments, and minor customizations.
So that’s a quick overview of my professional background. Outside of work, my interests shift with the seasons—sometimes you'll find me deep in a book, other times in the middle of a Fortnite match.
