Freelance Wordpress Developer
Self Employed | 2016 - Present

About Me
I have been working with the Wordpress platform since 2016 when I got into affiliate marketing, Google Adsense, website flipping and internet marketing on a whole. Over time, I was able to learn and become proficient with tools and resources such as SEO, SEM and Google Analytics but also in Wordpress development as I needed to tweak premade themes from time to time.
Before long, I started taking on client work as a means of extra income and though I loved making websites, I had two one year stints as an Outreach Manager and Lead SEO before going into Wordpress Development full time.
Today, my work primarily consists of designing and developing custom coded Wordpress sites/themes, as well as extending functionality of existing websites.
