After a long period of being indefinitely unavailable, I am officially looking for contract and consulting work!
I’ve been building websites since 2003 and developing WordPress plugins and themes since 2005. In my work with the journalism non-profit Global Voices since 2006, I’ve developed, designed, and maintained dozens of plugin features, sites, and themes, as well as managing Linux VPS servers and related complexities.
I’ve also been a speaker and organizer at WordCamp events across North America, and have experience teaching web development both professionally and on a volunteer basis.
Skills you could hire me for
- The acronyms: PHP, HTML, CSS, SQL, JS
- WordPress automated acceptance and/or unit testing with WP-Browser
- WordPress plugin development
- WordPress theme development
- WordPress implementation using third-party plugins and themes
- WordPress consultation on bugs, performance issues, or fixing vibe-coded slop.
- Training or mentoring on any of the above
My values as a coder
- I believe in simplicity and efficiency. The less code, the better, and the easier it is to read, the better. I prize clarity over cleverness, and maintainability over the latest hotness.
- I cherish automated testing (e.g. WP-Browser) and when writing PHP and plugins, I pursue a fully TDD workflow where code is written alongside tests to ensure high quality in the short term, and easy maintenance in the long term.
- I believe in web accessibility and am always trying to improve outcomes for all visitors to the sites I work on.
