Experience
Handyguy
Handyguy discussed the requirements with my organization, Creole Studios, to add additional functionality to the website. The client hired a team of dedicated developers to customize the website for improved user experience and interface. I acted as a lead developer in this project.
The current website was not working as per the client’s requirements as it needed to be more functional. The client wanted to create a website with numerous functionalities as a website was on WordPress. Finding his website old-fashioned, the founder of Handyguy asked our team to modernize the website for clients and contractors. The timely calls and meetings with project management tools helped their internal team to understand the progress.
Youth Arch Foundation
The entire Youth Arch web portal is divided into two main modules—HKOSA and YASIA. Student users have access to HKOSA, whereas marker and school users have access to both HKOSA and YASIA modules. There is also an admin module to govern all the other modules and features in the system.
I acted as the lead developer in this project, working on the complex logic and initial project setup and managing the project. I helped the team and guided them to perform the modules or tasks in this project.
The Energy Year
https://theenergyyear.com/The upcoming events section contains two options: users can add the event date to their calendar and visit their website. Users can filter the results by the type of content, regions, and countries and the search option allows them to search within those filtered results. The news and features pages were restructured, and a section of the most popular articles was added to both pages. Tags can be added to any news article or any other post when it is published from the back end of the system. These tags are helpful when a user searches for any keyword, and the algorithm fetches the relevant content from the whole website based on the searched keyword and displays the results.
I worked on this project as a senior WordPress developer, managed the project, and executed the project in a team.
