I bring extensive experience in DevOps, working with tools like Docker and cloud platforms such as AWS,
Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
As a full-stack developer, I have a solid background
in backend technologies including PHP and Ruby, paired with frontend expertise in React and jQuery.
My database experience spans from Informix and MySQL to MS SQL and NoSQL solutions. Additionally,
I`ve developed a few mobile applications using Java, further broadening my technical skill set.
With extensive experience across various facets of IT and development, I offer a range of services to meet your needs:
I am a dedicated web accessibility expert with over 4 years of experience in this field. My primary focus is on ensuring digital content is accessible to all users, in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of training cross-functional teams, including UX designers, quality assurance professionals, developers, and project managers, in the intricacies of web accessibility. I have also developed custom scripts and programs to identify and rectify accessibility issues, further enhancing the accessibility of digital assets.
I take pride in having conducted numerous accessibility audits for a wide range of clients, including esteemed organizations like P&G and GSK. To facilitate these assessments and adhere to accessibility standards, I have employed specialized tools such as AXE Deque and Siteimprove.
In my pursuit of excellence in accessibility, I have obtained several certifications, reflecting my commitment to this important cause. However, my passion for accessibility extends beyond certifications and audits. I firmly believe that the primary motivation for creating accessible digital environments should not be merely to avoid legal liabilities or improve search engine rankings. Instead, it should be driven by the fundamental goal of including the 1 in 7 people who face temporary or permanent barriers to accessing digital content, despite the advancements in technology. Together, we can work towards a more inclusive digital world for all.
I`ve worked diligently to understand the intricacies of page load speed and performance optimization. I`ve had the privilege of collaborating with developers and designers to implement strategies that maximize website speed and efficiency. We made a custom tool that monitors websites and presents results. We used it to improve page loading speed and code optimization on very different platforms and technologies. We formed a good knowledge base and procedures to create fast websites.
By prioritizing performance, we can create digital experiences that not only impress but also cater to the needs of every visitor.
The journey into web development is a tale that goes back to the very inception of the World Wide Web. While it`s hard to pinpoint exactly when it all began, one thing is clear: my passion for crafting digital experiences ignited in those early days. Over the years, I`ve dedicated myself to the art of creating websites and applications that captivate and empower users.
With a well-rounded expertise spanning the realms of front-end and back-end development, database management, hosting setup, and networking, I`ve had the privilege of wearing many hats throughout my career. Often, I`ve found myself as a one-person army, tackling diverse aspects of web development projects. This multifaceted approach not only broadened my skill set but also granted me invaluable experience that continues to shape my work today.
In the current landscape of web development, I stand confidently proficient in a variety of programming languages and technologies. My toolkit includes Python, JavaScript (both Node.js and ReactJS), and PHP, among others. Yet, my commitment to growth and innovation remains steadfast.
I`m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what`s possible on the web. This drive led me to embark on a journey into emerging technologies such as HTMX and web components. Exploring these groundbreaking tools, which extend HTML through the use of shadow DOM, has been an exhilarating experience. It`s a testament to my enduring curiosity and dedication to staying at the forefront of web development.
As I continue to weave the fabric of the digital world, my mission is clear: to craft not just websites and applications, but seamless, immersive, and accessible digital experiences. The web is an ever-evolving canvas, and I relish the opportunity to create and innovate within its ever-expanding boundaries.
My expertise extends across a broad spectrum of database systems, primarily centered around SQL databases.
Over time, I`ve honed my skills to become a seasoned professional in the art of programming and administration.
My journey has led me to become intimately familiar with the inner workings of these systems, enabling me to optimize, secure, and manage data with precision.
In addition to my SQL prowess, I`ve ventured into the world of NoSQL databases, exploring their unique strengths and applications.
While my expertise in this domain may be slightly less extensive than with SQL databases, my dedication to learning and adaptability ensures that I am always prepared to tackle new challenges and technologies head-on.
Today, I stand as a seasoned database programming and administration expert, ready to tackle complex data challenges, optimize query performance, and ensure data integrity.
My passion for this field drives me to stay abreast of the latest advancements in database technologies, ensuring that I am always well-prepared to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of data management.
Whether it`s designing efficient database schemas, fine-tuning SQL queries, or managing the complexities of NoSQL databases, I`m committed to delivering robust and reliable data solutions that empower businesses to thrive in the digital age.
In my role within hosting and services, my objectives revolve around achieving four key goals: cost-efficiency, speed, environmental responsibility, and scalability. In today`s fast-paced digital landscape, there`s no need to emphasize the importance of cloud platforms and services. These trends have opened up numerous possibilities while also making decision-making more complex.
This environment necessitates exploration and experimentation to discover the most suitable solutions. We strive to try out various options to determine what aligns best with our clients` needs and goals. Through this iterative process, we continually refine our strategies and optimize our infrastructure.
Automation plays a crucial role in our approach. We recognize the significance of efficiency, precision, and avoiding complex situations. Automation empowers us to streamline processes, minimize human error, and maintain consistency across our operations. It allows us to respond promptly to changing demands while delivering reliable and predictable outcomes.
In summary, my approach to hosting and services is rooted in achieving cost-efficiency, speed, environmental responsibility, and scalability. I wholeheartedly embrace the potential of cloud platforms and services in today`s dynamic landscape.
