PaybyFinance for Magento 1

Starting from the ground up, I led the team that handled the integration of PaybyFinance to Magento 1.

PaybyFinance for Magento 2

From the very beginning, I led the team that integrated PaybyFinance to Magento 2. I handled the entire process from including the UI components and the automated tests with Behat and PHPUnit (MTF).

Cotswold Design

I managed the responsive design and custom development for B2B retailer store in Magento 1. The design uses Sass and Gulp for build processes and is deployed using Capistrano.

Jewelry Site | Customizations in the Look and SEO

I implemented the customization to change this site's look and feel and also to improve their search engine optimization (SEO).

It was a nice experience to arrive home and immediately see a huge billboard showing the logo of a client I that worked for. I'm looking forward to helping many other clients to achieve the same results.

Kodak Media CIB Bank Gateway

I implemented a payment gateway to Magento using CIB Bank's gateway.

Telecommunication | ERP Integration

I integrated a wholesale eCommerce store with the client's in-house ERP system via a SOAP API. This included order processing, stock management, custom prices, and payment on account.

Sea Freight Industry

I integrated an eCommerce store with a home-brew ERP system that included eBook downloads and license keys, orders, and stock synchronization.

Car-parts Warehouse

I fixed the issues on a website after the previous development team had abandoned the project. The performance of the store increased tenfold and the template was cleaned up. In this project, Sass was introduced, and Git was used for clean deployments (Capistrano).

Let'sTalkGroup

The site is still being used in it's original form.

Subscription Magento Extension

https://github.com/subscribepro
A subscription module for Magento 2. Customers can pay once and receive goods on a subscription basis. Payments are handled either using Magento tokens or their internal card tokenization.

I made the extension compatible with the latest version of Magento 2 and updated the Adyen module so customers can pay using Adyen instead of the internal payment gateway. I also did various bug fixes and resolved JavaScript errors.
