Web and Software Development
I’m a full stack web and software developer and proficient in both the client-side and server-side technologies, capable of handling the entire development lifecycle of a web application. I ensure that both the front-end and back-end components work seamlessly together, from initial design and development through deployment and maintenance.
I work on both the front-end and back-end of web applications, handling everything from the user interface to the server-side logic and database management, incorporating content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress, cPanel, and custom scripting with Bash, PHP, and Python.
