Profile
Hello

I'm a seasoned full-stack software engineer and a certified Salesforce Commerce Cloud B2C Developer (SFCC, SFRA). My expertise extends beyond coding – I offer versatile consulting services tailored to your needs.

Whether you're seeking to breathe life into your innovative ideas, enhance existing software solutions, or smoothly migrate your websites to different platforms, I've got you covered. My commitment is to turn your aspirations into tangible results.

I've worked as a complete-full-stack programmer, as a lead developer, and unofficially as a software architect too, for small-to-medium applications.

Another thing I'm passionate about is fostering coding skills in others. Whether you're a novice looking to embark on your programming journey or already well-versed in the software realm, I'm here to guide you. Drawing from my experience as a programming tutor, I've received commendable feedback from those I've assisted. Let's embark on this coding adventure together.

My daily work includes:
  • developing e-commerce website with SFRA in SFCC B2C
  • handling technical & functional documents
  • being part in analysing problems & solutions
  • mentoring less experienced developers
In the past:
  • Architecting small-to-medium scale web apps
  • designing and implementing new software
  • maintaining and developing existing code
  • maintaining, fixing and upgrading legacy code
  • site performance optimizations
  • dealing with SEO (search-engine-optimizations)
  • security fixes
  • responsive CSS
Some categories of applications I have worked on:
  • e-commerce
  • booking engine
  • CRM (customer relationship management)
  • CMS (content management system)
  • APIs with JSON, XML etc.
  • multi-website management
  • multi-session login
  • Microservices
  • reports
  • simple websites
My other passions include playing guitar, cycling, teaching, playing basketball and helping save the planet.

My friends consider me an open-minded person, hard-working, organized, funny, friendly, loving.
Feel free to say hello and add me on social media. I like knowing new people :)
Experience

Technologies used the most include PHP, javascript & mysql. The most used framework is codeigniter. Used laravel in a few occasions and other custom MCV frameworks as well. On the frontend I have had to stay with jquery.
Our main site has to be perfect SEO-wise and optimized as much as possible. This means using semantic HTML, reducing javascript, caching heavily, heavy lazy-loading etc.
