Solo Web Developer 🚀

I assumed the role of overseeing maintenance and enhancement activities for a WordPress blog. This encompassed a spectrum of tasks, ranging from minor adjustments to intricate tweaks aimed at refining the website's functionality. This engagement marked my initial immersive encounter with both WordPress utilization and the management of server operations. Given an unexpected departure of the prior developer, I found myself under notable pressure, compounded by my status as a novice developer. Despite the formidable circumstances, this challenging episode served as a pivotal juncture, fostering my growth as a proficient WordPress developer in subsequent endeavors.

In the span of a mere two months of employment, I assumed the position of Senior Web Developer, collaborating alongside a fellow professional and former colleague from our prior organization. In this capacity, my primary responsibility entails spearheading web development initiatives, complementing my colleague's concentration on design and the acquisition of new clientele.

Commencing in 2015, my active involvement has centered on the technical administration of the website, inclusive of meticulous oversight of its design, feature integration, and transitions in web hosting infrastructure. Concurrently, while my employer's focus remained on the delivery of high-caliber content, I assumed the responsibility of ensuring seamless website operations. Navigating its evolutionary trajectory, I undertook the construction of entire themes from the ground up, adeptly aligning them with evolving requisites. Additionally, I adeptly applied optimization strategies intrinsic to WordPress, amplifying both performance benchmarks and user experiences.

Following the success of the previous websites, I was entrusted with the pivotal task of overseeing, coordinating, and producing all subsequent websites. This encompassed the entire spectrum of responsibilities, ranging from conceptualizing designs to executing the development phase within the WordPress framework. Beyond the purview of technical website management, I also assumed the role of administrating their hosting servers. This entailed executing multiple migrations between servers, each undertaken with the overarching objectives of enhancing web loading speed, fortifying reliability, and bolstering security.

The front-end landscape materialized through the agency of Laravel, complemented by a bespoke PHP content management system substantiating the backend. With an overarching goal to ensure untroubled website operations and hosting within the AWS ecosystem, my purview encompassed an array of responsibilities including redesign initiatives, feature ideation and realization, performance optimization, and robust security fortification.

Moreover, I spearheaded the inception of a dedicated WordPress website nested within a subdomain. In this capacity, I conceived, designed, and constructed every constituent feature from the ground up. Aided by the WordPress REST API, property data was seamlessly fetched, orchestrated with finesse through the deployment of vanilla JavaScript to orchestrate intricate frontend functionalities.
