I began my career as a Digital Marketer, creating email marketing campaigns, managing SEO for websites, and generating ad revenue through Google AdWords. Shortly after, I expanded my skillset by managing an IT department and developing promotional static web pages using HTML and CSS. This journey ignited my passion for web development and allowed me to leverage my analytical, problem-solving, marketing, and front-end technical skills to build and enhance websites and web applications.
Fast forward nine years, and I am now a dedicated full-stack WordPress developer. I specialize in building custom themes and plugins from scratch to elevate client branding and improve user experience. Additionally, I am proficient in implementing REST APIs and Webhooks, enabling seamless integrations between a client’s website and the tools they rely on daily to run their business.
With a strong background in web development and IT, I have held progressively responsible roles across three companies since 2016. At Postali, I currently serve as Developer and Dev Manager, where I lead a small team and create custom WordPress solutions and API integrations to enhance client functionality and workflow automation. Previously at Web Traffic Partners, I focused on maintaining and developing WordPress sites using modern tools and best practices, while also leveraging performance analytics. Earlier, at ZZPerformance, I combined web development with IT and marketing responsibilities, building eCommerce pages and managing network infrastructure to support business operations and customer engagement.
