EasyBilanz—Invoicing Inside WordPress
I created the custom theme for EasyBilanz using Advanced Custom Fields, post types, and features such as a PDF generator with auto-calculated prices, easy filtering with date range search, and the possibility of private invoices. The theme is created following the responsive web design approach.

Custom Animations for Websites and Landing Pages
Using premium GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP), I implemented interactive and immersive features from the designer guides to reflect the brand. The features included horizontal and vertical scrolling, InView and interactive animations, user interaction animations and effects, and custom animations for sliders to represent products uniquely.
Website Audits—Speed, Schema Markup, and Assets Optimization
I performed pre-launch website audits using Google's PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix as starting points for speed and Waterfall view. The audits included:
• style and scripts optimizations,
• legacy upgrades,
• BrowserStack for cross-browser checks with real devices (iOS, Android, Win, macOS),
• speed optimizations,
• assets optimizations,
• purging,
• Cloudflare, CDN, and caching (server-side, client-side).

Extending Gravity Forms Survey Add-on
Created a custom plugin to extend the Gravity Forms Survey add-on. The result was a better UI/UX with custom JavaScript and SCSS, converted radio and checkboxes into buttons and a "tell us more" button that acts as conditional logic (show other fields), changing the interaction of the "quick submit" to "submit" button.
