Experience

Auto Poster Plugin that Shares Site Content to Social Media

A WordPress plugin that allows site owners to schedule and share site content to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. Site owners can authorize the plugin to share content either on publishing data or through a schedule. It comes with a settings page where various customizations can be made.

Custom WooCommerce-ready WordPress Theme

http://www.benjaminboone.net
A WordPress site that enables a saxophonist to sell his CDs through a WooCommerce plugin. The project aimed to allow site visitors to order CDs by making the theme WooCommerce-compatible. Additionally, UI customization was developed on all pages to give the site a distinct look and feel.

Customized WordPress Site

The aim of the project was to make a new theme using Underscore Theme Starter. Template styling was made fresh through the Tailwind CSS framework and WooCommerce compatible. The theme passed all WordPress Theme check tests. A translation file was generated to allow users to translate their sites.

Photo Tour Site

https://phototours.directory
This project required specific customizations on the site, which included modifying the main query on specific category pages, tweaking various listing styles, and creating a custom template to allow S2Member plugin users to create dedicated pages to display their photos and other information.

Extend Tour Booking System

http://www.bonzabiketours.com
I was hired to add features that allowed privileged site users to create discounts and gift vouchers for customers to redeem on tour products. The project had a React and a Node.js booking management system (bms.bonzabiketours.com) and a front-end WordPress PHP site.

Discounts and vouchers were developed on the management system and redeemed on the management system and the front-end WordPress site. I also integrated the PayPal IPN feature onto the front-end site to checkout through PayPal.

Implement Landing page

https://www.skuvault.com/inventory-management-software/
The project had to implement two landing pages for an inventory management company.
The first phase had to do with creating a straight landing page to get users to schedule a demo. It can be found here: https://www.skuvault.com/datacoach/.

The other phase required implementing a tabbed FAQ page relating to the inventory management software.

Toptal React Academy

The Toptal React Academy is an exclusive learning program that teaches the React framework to select members of the Toptal network. After a month of study, all graduates are tasked with completing a 30-40 hour final project to build and deliver a React app from scratch.

Website Automation

A website for providing investment information.

I was tasked with creating an Elementor extension that would allow the client to generate a cluster of blocks on a page given data from a CSV file.
The main goal was to import data from the file and display the data in various blocks, allowing the client to edit those data from Elementor controls.
