    I have been a full-stack LAMP web developer for 20+ years and have been developing using the Codeigniter framework, and other frameworks since 2009. I generally use PHP frameworks for back end development, as well as JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and Ember. However, I am also an expert in general PHP and Object Oriented PHP development. I have spent the last 20+ years working as an independent web developer. I have programmed using PHP, Perl, jQuery, SQL and have designed some very advanced web applications for various companies across the Untied States. I also operate a web server and have a firm grasp of UNIX/Linux administration and general web server maintenance.

    For over 15 years, I have been in touch with different companies and clients who want to have a website built from the ground up. I have developed a wide range of websites ranging from social media related sites, websites designed specifically for mobile phones and tablets, e-commerce websites like online apparel store sites or real estate sites, websites for small businesses or startup companies. I mainly use PHP, HTML, JQUERY and MySQL when building these websites. My choice of out-of-the-box CMS to use is WORDPRESS because they are very flexible and well-built CMS and can be developed in many different ways. When it comes to work, I make sure that my clients are satisfied with my work so I really give a lot of importance to the quality of code I make and it's efficiency and usability. I am very open to many possibilities and take into consideration what my clients want in their website. I give my best opinion whenever necessary in order to improve the development that may later on benefit me and my clients. If hired, I make myself always available for the client whenever they have some questions or additional clarifications. Long term relationship with my clients is a proof that they are really satisfied with my job and work efficiency.
