The most amazing...

Employment
Experience
- A Web Shop for Cosmetic Products (Development)https://colette-camenisch.com/
My task was to convert the given design into a WooCommerce shop. As part of this job, I also integrated the Stripe payment gateway. After releasing the site (it went live), I also maintained the site on a monthly basis and made sure the custom made WordPress theme followed the latest WooCommerce standards.
- Custom WordPress (Multi-site) with a CRM Integration (Development)https://www.graitec.com
The project started with rebuilding a WordPress template that was using Visual Composer. Soon after that, I created a simple PHP website combining an existent HTML template and mixing it with the given design.
In December 2016, we decided to move all the content into a single WordPress website and migrate it from Microsoft Server (ASP) to Linux (Apache/PHP). I was responsible for the transfer from ASP to PHP/WordPress, including some web services and ERP related tasks.
A major achievement of mine was extending the WP-REST API to have a better integration with the ERP/CRM. The API didn't allow adding/editing users from the multi-site and it was also tricky to add user metadata. The core plugin is extensible and if the client adds a new site (in the multi-site), the API will simply integrate into that site straight away.
